Purgavie Farm

A peaceful, working farm nestled in the countryside will be the heart and soul of your visit to Kirriemuir. Purgavie Farm B&B has stunning views over the Strathmore Valley; it is suited ideally as a base for exploring Angus. Guests can use the area to find their artistic inspiration as Bon Scott of AC/DC, and JM Barrie (author of Peter Pan) was born locally.

Owned and operated by the delightful Moira Clark since 1985, she has excellent knowledge of the surrounding area and loves interacting with guests.

About the House

A historic detached Farmhouse features three beautiful en-suite rooms. Privacy is guaranteed within the farmhouse as the rooms do not share connecting walls. Guests will feel at home with the room’s amenities and charming décor. Each room provides enchanting views of the surrounding glens, enabling you to immerse yourself in the countryside no matter the weather.

Purgavie Farm B&B has a spacious dining room for mealtimes. Moira provides daily breakfasts if guests order the night before. For visitors who wish to relax outside of their rooms, you can use the lounge area, which is perfect for those long winter nights. To be closer to the great outdoors while still benefiting from the warmth inside, lodgers will have access to a beautifully crafted conservatory.

Relevant points about the property

The vast expanse of land is excellent for afternoon strolls; you may stumble back in time on your journey as the property is home to some Bronze Age sites. A great way to learn about the land and history of the country without leaving the estate’s grounds.
