Step into Bellrock View, a charming traditional fisherman’s cottage right on the waterfront of Carnoustie. Nestled in a quiet, residential area on East Row, just a short 10-minute walk from the High Street, this coastal retreat offers a peaceful escape while keeping shops, cafés, and local attractions within easy reach. Open the front door, breathe in the sea air, and feel the stresses of everyday life slip away - this is a place where you can truly unwind.
From the front patio or the wicker chair on the porch, take in the sparkling waters and watch the distant Bellrock Lighthouse guide ships safely along the coast. With binoculars provided, guests love spotting passing wildlife, including seals, seabirds, and the occasional porpoise. The cosy living room offers another vantage point through a large front window, so whether you’re sipping morning coffee or relaxing with a book, the ever-changing sea view is always part of your stay.
Inside, Bellrock View balances classic coastal charm with modern comfort. The front lounge features a double sofa, two armchairs, and a country-style dining table that seats four. Tasteful botanical prints and William Morris-inspired wallpaper complement the soft, neutral palette, creating a calm, inviting atmosphere. The cottage has two bedrooms: a twin room at the back with hanging space for your holiday outfits, and a main bedroom with a nautical theme, including wicker lampshades, sailboat curtains, and luxurious bed linen. A dressing table and additional storage ensure both comfort and convenience.
The hallway houses a double cupboard perfect for storing sandy shoes after a stroll along the beach, while the bathroom offers a bath with an overhead shower for washing off the day’s adventures. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials for preparing family meals, including wooden cabinetry, retro tiles, and a breakfast bar with two stools — perfect for a quick snack or casual breakfast. Step outside to the fully enclosed rear garden and enjoy a drink at the bistro table while soaking up the peaceful surroundings, though the front-facing sea views are hard to beat.
History buffs will enjoy the cottage’s rich past. The landlords have traced its previous tenants back to the 1800s using the Angus Archives, and historical photographs of former occupants are displayed inside. Learn about a former owner who emigrated to Australia and became a successful golfing professional - a small piece of history that adds character and charm to your stay.
Bellrock View is also well-positioned for exploring the local area. A short walk brings you to Carnoustie High Street, while nearby coastal walks, leisure facilities, and the renowned Carnoustie Golf Links provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activity. The cottage is a short drive from other towns along the east coast and well-connected via public transport, making it a practical choice for sightseeing or golf trips.
