Barometer Cottage By the Water

About the Property

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. Barometer Cottage is a charming seaside retreat on Broughty Ferry’s historic Fisher Street. Perfect for up to four guests, this beautifully renovated cottage blends historic character with modern comforts, offering a welcoming base to explore Broughty Ferry, Dundee, and the Angus coastline.

The cottage takes its name from its seafaring past and the maritime traditions of Broughty Ferry. Once a thriving fishing village, Fisher Street was at the heart of the local fishing industry, with cottages like this one home to fishermen and their families. In 1859, a Fitzroy Storm Barometer was sent to the community to help predict the weather, and in 1881, its readings famously helped save the Ferry fishing fleet from disaster.

Living Space and Bedrooms

This stylish, two-bedroom property has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and relaxation. The master bedroom features a luxurious super king-sized bed, while the second bedroom offers two comfortable twin beds, making it ideal for families, couples, or friends.

The living area is bright and cosy, with underfloor heating to keep the space warm and welcoming. Carefully chosen furnishings and subtle coastal touches reflect the local heritage, creating a space that is both comfortable and visually appealing.

The bathroom has been updated with modern fittings, combining elegance with practicality for a relaxing experience.

Kitchen and Dining

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. Designed to complement the cottage’s rustic charm, it provides a bright and inviting space for cooking. The dining area is integrated into the living space, offering cosy seating and a welcoming atmosphere to enjoy meals or unwind after a day exploring the coast.

Location

Nestled just steps from the beach and a selection of local cafes and eateries, Barometer Cottage offers easy access to all that Broughty Ferry has to offer. Its central location makes it a convenient base to explore the wider area, including Dundee and the scenic Angus coastline.
