Show more...Home & location
We have a modern 200 m2 house on two floors with garden/patio, home cinema room, office (printer/monitor), living room with smart TV, yoga room, walk-in closet room, guest double bedroom+closet, 1 toilet/wc, 1 family bathroom (shower/ jacuzzi tub), 1 master bedroom+ ensuite shower, kitchen with dining area up to 6 people. We have an additional inflatable bed. Your room has private bathroom and a built-in wardrobes that can be used to hang your clothes. Hairdryer. Kettle with tea/coffees. The location is a quiet residential area surrounded by trees, it is 20-30 mins walk to city centre and 45 mins walk to the beach. The nearest park, Baxter Park, is just a 5 minute walk, and so is the nearest supermarket/pharmacy. There is a lovely pedestrian walk nearby along the Firth of Tay and from there you can walk along the river up to Brought Ferry in 30 mins. We are lucky to have a bus stop next to our home (in 5-10 mins to Dundee city center, 15 mins to Broughty Ferry, a nice village with a castle and a lovely beach). Dundee itself has lots to see, including the new V&A museum, the RSS Discovery Museum, the DCA, Mc Manus Art Gallery, HMS Unicorn, Verdant Works, Dundee Law, Balgay Hill, Camperdown Wildlife Centre, Dundee Ice Arena etc. Nearby we have the town of St. Andrews (30 mins by bus), Tentsmuir Beach and Forest as well as the beautiful Scottish countryside and mountains. The Fife coastal path along the the East Neuk Fishing Villages and Lomond hills are some of our usual walking spots during the weekend. We have plenty of books for you to find easy walks or you can check https://www.conservationwise.org/the-five-top-trails-in-angus/ and https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/ which provides a lot of tips for walks and hikes. The Cairngorms are at 1h/1.15 from Dundee too and there you can skii as well in the winter (Glenshee). Edinburgh is also a little over 1 hour from here. Although (almost) everything is feasible by bus/train by checking googlemaps, a car would help to reach more remote/wild areas. There's parking space in front of the house.

Mabel was an independent, low-maintenance, funny, and cute dog. She was a wonderful companion for exploring Scotland, as she behaved very well in pubs, buses, shops, and restaurants. Val and Franz were very easygoing and had lots of support from friends and neighbours. The welcoming pizza was the first Italian home made one I had in life, delicious and very grateful to their hospitality. I had a super comfortable and joyful stay in Dundee. Thank you!

I absolutely loved everything about my 3 weeks in Dundee with Mabel. Franz & Valeria made me feel very welcome & got me some nice welcome treats. The house is well located & equipped & the welcome guide comprehensive. It was very clean & tidy when I arrived & was easy to keep so. Now the most important part - MABEL who will steal your heart! She is sooo sweet & well behaved. We had great times together out exploring Dundee, Fife & Angus & cuddled up on the sofa. She was very calm in the car and good on walks. Everyone has a smile for Mabel & her waggy tail! She loved her brushes after her walks and was very patient with me whilst I was getting her harness & any coats on and off & getting her cleaned up if necessary. I highly recommend this sit & would love to return myself. I was sad to leave! Thanks for choosing me Franz & Val 😊

We loved sitting for Mabel! She is beautiful, smart, funny, and a fantastic companion. She loves her tummy rubs in the morning and snuggles in the evening, and knows her trails. Franz and Val are fantastic hosts and have a beautiful home. We can’t thank them enough for trusting us with Mabel—it was a treat!
