The best area to stay in Montrose
Montrose is compact – most of what you will want to see is within two miles of the centre. Here is how the three main options compare.
Town centre
Best for most stays
Walk to the station, the High Street, cafés, pubs and restaurants – and you are still only about a mile from the beach and the golf links. Ideal without a car, for short breaks and for business trips. This is where The George is.
By the beach and the links
Best for golf-only trips
Sand and fairways on the doorstep, but a walk or a short drive into town for dinner, shops and the station.
Outside town
Best for a quiet self-catering week
Cottages and farm stays along the Angus coast and countryside. Peaceful, but you will need a car for almost everything.
