1 / 21The Old Police Cottage - Lintrathen
Lintrathen, Angus
The village’s former police house at Lintrathen in the Angus glens, sleeping six with a wrap around enclosed garden and the loch alongside, and a rare three dogs welcome.
The Old Police Cottage kept order in Lintrathen once; it now answers to whoever holds the leads. Three dogs are welcome here, a number almost nothing else in this collection matches, and the detached cottage behind the name sleeps six beside the Loch of Lintrathen in the Braes of Angus, dog friendly to a degree most stays never attempt.
The garden is what makes a three dog booking workable: mature, wrap around and fully enclosed, with seating areas and direct access from the rear of the cottage, so the pack lets itself into the evening. Inside are a king size room with an en suite, a double, and a single with a trundle for a sixth, along with a lounge for the film and a kitchen with a proper dining corner.
Nights out here are dark in the way towns forget. The loch's bird hides empty, the glens go quiet, and the garden becomes a place to stand with a dram while three dogs make a last circuit of their territory under more stars than seem reasonable.
Glen Isla, Glen Clova and Glen Prosen all open within easy reach, the Reekie Linn falls crash just up the road, and Kirriemuir, J M Barrie's home town, handles the errands. For a dog, the Angus glens are as close as walking gets to the Highlands without the drive north.
We research every description carefully and believe it to be accurate, but details can change. Please confirm anything important, especially dog rules, with the booking agent or property owner before you book.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Old Police Cottage - Lintrathen dog friendly?
Yes, and unusually so — The Old Police Cottage welcomes up to three dogs, which is rare among self-catering stays. The fully enclosed wrap-around garden gives dogs plenty of space to roam safely, and with direct access from the rear of the cottage, it works well for multi-dog households.
Are dogs allowed at The Old Police Cottage - Lintrathen year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but as a self-catering cottage rather than a seasonal attraction, it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. The surrounding Angus glens, with Glen Isla, Glen Clova and Glen Prosen all nearby, offer great walking whatever time of year you visit.
What should I know before visiting The Old Police Cottage - Lintrathen with my dog?
The cottage accepts up to three dogs, so it's worth confirming that number when you book if you're travelling with a full pack. The garden is mature, wrap-around and fully enclosed, which makes managing multiple dogs straightforward, and the wider area — including Reekie Linn falls and the Angus glens — offers plenty of off-lead walking country close by.
