Castle Beach - Magnificent Victorian Villa

Step into the enchanting world of Castle Beach, once a beloved family home and now a delightful 3-storey Victorian holiday home, nestled along the shores of Broughty Ferry beach. This captivating retreat, situated on the picturesque East Coast of Scotland just outside Dundee, offers a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life while maintaining close proximity to all life's small conveniences.

Broughty Ferry, a historic fishing village steeped in culture, invites you to discover its treasures – from upscale restaurants to charming boutiques and vibrant bars. Once favored by the elite, this neighborhood has certainly maintained its status as Dundee's premier destination.

Take a stroll along Broughty Ferry esplanade, where you'll find the town's iconic castle, surrounded by lush parks and green spaces. Here, adventurous souls can partake in water sports aplenty, from sailing to kayaking, with opportunities to spot dolphins and seals along the coastline.

Perched facing one of the town's verdant public gardens, Castle Beach offers unparalleled vistas of the river and the distant shores of Fife. Just a leisurely 5-minute stroll from the heart of Broughty Ferry and mere steps from the sandy shores, this 5-bedroom villa exudes timeless elegance, boasting period features such as ornate cornicing and a sweeping staircase leading to a splendid attic conversion with ensuite facilities.

Indulge in delightful gatherings within the spacious open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, warmed by the glow of a cozy woodburner. With accommodation for up to 9 guests, including two luxurious master bedrooms Castle Beach ensures every visitor finds solace in its embrace. Additional sleeping quarters, including a charming woodland-themed bedroom, a snug mezzanine and a downstairs single room, offer comfort and tranquility.

Outdoors, the rear garden beckon with its inviting ambiance, complete with a built-in brick barbecue, ample seating, and even an outdoor shower for a refreshing al fresco experience. Entertainment abounds within, with lots of games, DVDs and TVs to delight guests of all ages.

Broughty Ferry serves as an ideal launchpad for exploring Scotland's wonders, with iconic destinations like St Andrews and Edinburgh within easy reach. Embark on unforgettable day trips from your base.

We extend a warm invitation to experience the charm and splendor of Castle Beach, where tranquil moments await amidst captivating surroundings.

We look forward to welcoming you to Castle Beach!

Beautiful Ferry Gem
A really bright and beautiful home, perfect location for the heart of the Ferry, right by the beach, spacious so would suit a big group. Would love to see a proper coffee machine and a music system provided, just felt it was lacking a few extra special touches!

Our house was lovely. The location was 2 min from the beach at the most. A playground and castle one block away. Just wonderful!

Great stay at Castle Beach
This is a great property in a fantastic location. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a large property for family and friends. My only issue was the fight every night between the kids as to who got to sleep on the top bunk!

Wonderful home!
Castle Beach was the perfect stay for our family. The location was absolutely perfect, and the house truly felt like home for us. We could easily walk to everything, with both the beach and restaurants being a short stroll. We loved our time at Castle Beach and Broughty Ferry!

Scotland with our (adult) children!
The Castle Beach was very comfortable for all of us! It was within walking distance of everything we needed. Great pubs, the beach, shopping and beautiful sight seeing. Broughty Ferry was charming and so was the the house!!

The house was fabulous, spotless, lots of space and so much character. A real home from home everything you need and more. We would definitely stay again. Lots of lovely individual shops, beach, plenty places to eat out something for everyone and so close to Dundee, St Andrews etc

Fantastic Value!
What a great find! A lovely, 3 storey villa which has plenty room for a large party of friends! If it’s free and suits your needs, definitely book without hesitation. 2 things however, the toaster only worked on one side (not a major issue) and what with it being a cold, early March break, the house took a while to heat up (maybe it had been empty for a bit before our arrival), maybe a bigger stock of logs to burn would have made all the difference!

The perfect spot for families ❤️
Well, this lovely place couldn’t have been more perfect for our family. Steps from the beach and from a lovely playground, the house was well appointed and comfortable. We walked up to the M&S food shop and stopped at the local butcher on the way back. Broughty Ferry is such a cute little town! Would definitely recommend.

Perfect location! Lovely big house. No big issues/complaints. (Felt could benefit from an additional shower. Garden lights weren’t working) We will still be very happy to return.

Couldn’t fault it
A fantastic property, out the front door and you’re at a spotless, beautiful beach. Head out the back door and you’re on the Main Street that has everything you need. The house is stunning, well thought out and beautifully finished. Parking is no bother. Honestly it was brilliant.
