breakfast accommodation in classic surroundings. The house is situated on the south side of Carnoustie with panoramic views over the championship
golf course making Morven House an ideal location for golfing in Scotland. If you wish to play
golf in St Andrews the courses are just 20 minutes away by car. The 7 comfortable letting
bedrooms each have private facilities. Three acres of walled grounds provide guests with privacy, pleasant surroundings and ample off road
parking, the grounds are illuminated after dark for guests
safety and added
security. The property is centrally heated, double glazed throughout and all
rooms are equipped with colour

breakfast room is provided for guests. Although Carnoustie is well known for its famous
golf course, Angus and Tayside is a beautiful region with many equally well known attractions, it is an ideal location centrally located and perfect for a Scottish holiday. Glamis Castle is just 10 miles away and is most famous for being the childhood home of both the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother. Eight miles away in Arbroath the opportunity exists to taste the local delicacy, the Arbroath Smokie. The Smokie is a whole haddock which is slowly cooked over hardwood chips. Unlike a kipper (smoked herring) the Smokie is not so heavily smoked and retains a moist freshness. Smokies are available to order for
breakfast. They are excellent on their own or together with poached egg and toast. Please explore our site to find out more about our accommodation, the history of this fine building,
golf and other attractions in the area.
