About this property

Unique Victorian mansion house with period details - 14 bedrooms.

Guests have said that it is just like having your own stately home for the weekend and there is certainly a Downton Abbey feel about Kinblethmont House.

Its unique atmosphere comes from the house's Victorian pedigree mixed with its contemporary comfort and homliness. Please scroll down to the bottom of the facilities section to see links to our own website and video -it will give you a good idea of what it is like on Kinblethmont estate. Kinblethmont House is situated about 4 miles from Arbroath.

There are 14 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms so we can comfortably accommodate up to 28 but it also works well with smaller groups.

Having had many family parties here ourselves, we can thoroughly recommend Kinblethmont as a large holiday home for gatherings of friends or family reunions for short breaks or weekly lets. In the summer you can play croquet or badminton, visit the unspoilt beach at Lunan Bay or just relax on the sheltered terrace in the sun with a coffee or gin and tonic while the children (of all ages!) play.

All around you can hear wonderful birdsong and if you are patient you can hear the drumming of the woodpeckers that regularly visit the feeders outside the kitchen. The house is set amidst mature woodland with specimen trees and there are some lovely woodland walks around the estate at all times of year. The immediate area is also particularly suitable for cycling.

In the winter you may prefer to cuddle up in front of a roaring log fire and play parlour games or try your luck at snooker or table tennis. The more adventurous may even decide to check out the snow sports at Glen Shee or the Lecht. Whatever the weather the children will have huge fun exploring the extensive woodland policies or playing hide and seek.

All house lets include linen, towels, bathrobes, electricity, central heating and logs for fires. We can also arrange child and baby furniture (cots, high chairs etc) and office facilities.
For those wanting some help with catering we have contacts that can provide special meals, some food for you to put in the oven or full catering - just ask and we will put you in touch with one of our excellent local caterers
We also have good contacts and ideas for special days out.

Please enquire prior to booking so we can make sure Kinblethmont House is right for you.

Glorious Scotland
We were a family of 16 adults, 7 children and one baby gathering from round the world. Kinblethmont provided a wonderful large home away from home. Everything we needed was provided and the grounds as well as the house are beautiful. We had fantastic weather which, of course, made things even better. Several of us swam at glorious Lunan Bay, walked the Arbroath Cliff Path, visited Glamis Castle and a few took the train to Edinburgh. We had arranged catering with Sinclair's for the adult evening meals which was a luxury but well worth it. There was plenty to do in the house itself (table tennis, snooker, chess, solitaire (several boards) and outside there was a playground, loads of hiding places for fun filled games, badminton, etc. Bird feeders could be viewed from the kitchen and the outside seating was used in the day and evening - it was glorious. Thank you for this delightful opportunity to bring our family together!

American Thanksgiving family reunion
Americans & Brits all met for a large family reunion at Kinblethmont! The stay was perfect. Communication with Jess & Gem was easy, helpful and kind. The house was absolutely beautiful and always had exactly what was needed- an extra tablecloth, an immersion blender, sharp kitchen knives, etc! Local recommendations from Gem were all spot on as well. A glorious stay!

Absolutely amazing
This property is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend and would to do this again if we had another large group. Was able to accommodate 22 of us with plenty of extra space and beds leftover. The gardens and grounds are beautiful. The host, Jessica, was very responsive, thoughtful, and nice throughout the entire process. Gemma, the property manager, was so helpful with everything and gave us a wonderful tour and welcome. The recommendation to use Sinclair's for catering was also spot-on and a must. No complaints at all, highly highly recommend this property. Do not hesitate to book.

60th Birthday Party
What an outstanding property. I couldn’t have hoped for any more for my birthday party. The house is incredible. There were 24 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The public rooms are special. Dinner was a tremendous success. Couldn’t have hoped for more

Exceeded expectations
The Big House at Kinblethmont was the ideal setting for our family reunion (group of 26). The house was beyond what we expected and as great as it looked in pictures, it was even better in person. Everything we could have needed was provided for, the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were well stocked – and all our family were asking where the linens were from, since they liked them so much. The central location allowed us to plan daily excursions to various sites, including a local distillery, the town of Arbroath, St. Andrews, Balmoral Castle and even a drive through the Highlands. The owners (Jessica and Robert) have preserved the character of the home, providing a unique and fun experience, while also ensuring modern amenities and facilities that can support large groups, such as ours. Gemma was fantastic to work with in planning our visit and was available and responsive to all our questions.

The icing on the cake of Scotland
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. 15 of us gathered to celebrate a birthday and not only was the house incredibly beautiful and big enough for all of us to be more than comfortable, Gemma went out of her way to help us plan and make things as easy as possible including helping us find caterers, entertainment, and more. Jessica also came to speak with us and share history about the estate. The moment we left we all already began talking about coming back again. At first we thought we might be too remotely located…however, once we got to the mansion, no one wanted to leave except for a day of golf. Thank you, Jessica and Gemma for a magical vacation.

Perfect place for family gathering
We had a fabulous family gathering and in no small part to this wonderful place. Lots of activities, beautiful rooms and gardens and plenty of space to be social or find a room to read a book. Hosts were amazing and responsive. Local golf courses were fab too. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Perfect for our family gathering
Highly recommended. We went to Kinblethmont for a family birthday party, staying for a week. The property and extensive grounds are lovely - a real treat to stay in. We did self catering (couples taking turns) and had external caterers on one night. The facilities were extensive for this, so it worked out really well. There is plenty to do in the house and grounds - and in the wider area. We enjoyed walks on beach, cliff & hill, and visiting local towns. The owners were very helpful both before and during our visit - especially welcome, because we had to re-arrange twice over 2 years, because of you-know-what.

Spoiled!
Our group of 23 stayed here for over a week. We were spoiled. Never have stayed at a house this well stocked for cooking, dining and entertaining. Well done. We knew this home would be a bit out of the way, but central to touring East of Scotland. Highly recommend. Arbroath was wonderful for dining and purchasing fresh fish and meat.

Another amazing stay at this gorgeous big house!
This was our 4th stay at Kinblethmont with our gang of friends to celebrate New Year. With a party of 18 adults and 14 kids (ages 2-16), yet again the venue was perfect for all our needs. Loads of public rooms means plenty of space for everyone, and the refurbishment works particularly to the bathrooms and kitchen, have made Kinblethmont even better than ever. Bedrooms are so warm and comfortable and the little luxuries of toiletries and bathrobes is a lovely touch. It's location is ideal to enjoy nearby Lunan Bay for a New Year's Day jaunt, and whilst it's handy for the shops in Arbroath for last minute supplies, it really does feel like we're a million miles away from the world when we are here. Thanks again to Jessica, Penny and team for making our stay just perfect again. Loved it!

Kinblethmont House
We booked Kinblethmont House and the cottages in the grounds to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary and my parents Golden Wedding anniversary. Booking was so easy, Jessica could not have been more helpful. As we got nearer to our stay, Penelope contacted us to make final arrangements; she was so accommodating and went out of her way to ensure everything was in place to make our stay special. On arrival, Penelope greeted us and gave me a comprehensive tour of the house so we were familiar with everything before our guests arrived. Our guests could not praise the cottages enough, they are completed to a very high spec. All I can say about Kinblethmont House is that it's beautiful! We entertained over 50 people during our stay and this was easily accommodated in Kinblethmont House. The family went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. I cannot recommend Kinblethmont House and cottages highly enough. This is the second time we have stayed and we will certainly be back!
