Home/Where to stay/Montrose/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Montrose
This shortlist covers 4- and 5-star hotels and cottages in and around Montrose, on Scotland's east coast. It is for couples, families and small groups who want a self-catering base or a hotel with a pool, restaurant and golf nearby.
Staying in Montrose
Montrose sits on the coast of Angus, where the town meets a long sandy beach and the surrounding farmland and glens open up behind it. Visitors come for golf, walking, fishing and quiet days by the sea. The hotels and cottages here are spread between the town itself and the countryside around it.
The town-centre addresses cover High Street, Provost Scots Road at Midlinks, Bents Road, Graham Street and Melvill E Gardens, while others sit further out at Inverbervie, Old Montrose, Glenskinno Farm, House Of Dun, Auchmithie and a Kirriemuir address. That mix suits couples on a short break who want a hotel with a restaurant and pool, families and groups who need several bedrooms and a kitchen, and anyone touring Angus by car.
Self-catering dominates, with kitchens, gardens and parking at most properties, alongside a small number of full-service hotels.
