You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Villa by the Sea: WOW! Like a 5 star hotel!

You’ll love the splendid sophistication of this gorgeous property. Like many well established Scottish location spots, this property mixes historic details and impressive grandeur of the past with classic charms of the present. It’s one of the most prestigious addresses in Broughty Ferry and is right by the shore of the River Tay with incredible views over the water.

This immaculate 4 bedroom villa has everything you need for a luxurious and homely stay - from a roll top bath for decadent bubble baths to its delightful outdoor seating areas for epic views across the Tay. It’s perfect for enjoying some fine Scottish hospitality before perhaps heading out to sample the charming local scene.

From the moment you enter the grand hallway with its beautiful chandelier and classic black and white chequered floor, you know you’re somewhere very special. Sink into the sumptuous sofas in the stylish lounge with its gorgeous window seats and period fireplace. Adjourn to the beautiful bar area (yes please!) where guests can enjoy their complimentary bottle of fizz. Then head through for a delicious dinner in the fabulously fashionable dining room with a large table seating 8. A modern fully equipped kitchen and WC complete the downstairs floor plan.

Head upstairs, noticing the intricate ironwork of the balustrades, and you’ll find 4 spacious bedrooms ranging from a super king to a king-size and 2 doubles. All are immaculately furnished rooms with modern takes on period details such as designer wallpaper and retro furniture. The bathroom features a luxurious roll tap bath for blissful bathing plus a modern walk-in shower.

Outside there’s plenty to impress too with pretty, enclosed gardens both front and rear. The rear garden is a sheltered area perfect for peaceful chilling on the sun loungers, or quiet reading. The front garden has a fabulous view over the water and a variety of outdoor furniture. Imagine sitting in the 2 Adirondack-style wooden armchairs watching the boats sail by in the morning or there’s a modern lounge set with cushions for when there’s a group of you having a sunny al fresco brunch!

This luxurious house sets the bar high in terms of top-quality accommodation coupled with a fantastic location. Guests can benefit from our Meet and Greet service and can also pre-order luxurious food and drinks from our favourite suppliers on your behalf as optional extras for your visit.

Welcome to Douglas Terrace and have a fantastic stay!

This is a meet and greet property. You will be met upon arrival and shown around the property to ensure you have the best experience during your stay. Once you have checked out, the same person will review the property and be responsible for returning your damage deposit.

Down near the seashore, the striking Broughty Castle is well worth a visit. Dating back to 1490 when it was built to protect the Tay estuary, it now houses a museum which explains the history of this pretty fishing village. 

The famous golf courses at Carnoustie and St Andrews are close by and there are other excellent courses locally for avid golfers to test their links game. The beautiful sandy beach nearby provides a haven for wildlife  and there are lots of local cycle paths too. 

Broughty Ferry train station is just over 10 minutes walk from the house and you are also just four miles from the city of Dundee with all its excellent amenities. You can be in the capital of Edinburgh or Glasgow within a couple of hours via train, or take a road trip for a more rural exploration of Scotland.

As famously quoted by Voltaire, “We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation.” We may be biased… but for serene landscapes of rolling hills, famous distilleries, medieval castles, breathtaking glens and exquisite tastings from local produce, choose Scotland, and specifically Douglas Terrace, Broughty Ferry as the ultimate base to experience this ideal civilisation. The best of all worlds.

Incredible place
This place was better than we imagined. All 4 of us kept commenting on how spacious and well appointed this house was. From the fully equipped kitchen to the large bedrooms this had it all. Beautiful backyard and amazing views of the water. Perfectly located for our golfing with lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The parking was easy and check-in was seamless. Thank you for letting us stay at your incredible place!
