Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best area to stay in Tarfside?

The best area to stay in Tarfside is within the village itself, particularly around the main road, for convenience and access to local amenities.

Tarfside is a small, quiet village located in Glen Esk, surrounded by the Angus Glens. The village is quite compact, with the main cluster of buildings, including the village hall and the local church, situated along the single main road that runs through it. Accommodation options are typically self-catering cottages or guesthouses, offering a peaceful retreat.

For those looking for a tranquil escape into nature, Tarfside is ideal. The village serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding glens, with numerous walking and cycling routes starting directly from or near the village. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the direct access to scenic trails and the opportunity to observe local wildlife.

Families often find Tarfside suitable due to the serene environment and the space for children to explore outdoors. Many of the self-catering properties offer gardens and are located away from busy roads, providing a relaxed setting.

When is the best time to go to Tarfside?

The best time to go to Tarfside is generally during the late spring, summer, and early autumn months, from May to September.

This period offers the most agreeable weather for exploring the Angus Glens and enjoying outdoor activities. You'll find longer daylight hours and milder temperatures, making it ideal for hiking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. The landscape is at its most verdant, and the local flora is in full bloom.

For those keen on outdoor pursuits like hillwalking and fishing, the months of June, July, and August are perfect. The days are at their longest, providing ample time to tackle longer trails or spend extended periods by the rivers. Midges can be present, especially in still, warm conditions, so come prepared with appropriate repellents.

If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer visitors and don't mind cooler temperatures, May and September are excellent choices. The scenery remains stunning, with May showcasing spring blossoms and September offering the beautiful colours of autumn.
