SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 166 Best Dog-Friendly Coastal Getaway 2024 - Scotland Scotland – home to the some of the country’s most picturesque coastal locations. Perfect for a romantic or family getaway, it’s a place that encourages a truly distinct type of relaxation. So, when visiting, you have to make sure that your lodgings are just as idealistic, and no Angus-based holiday destination offers a quainter coastal getaway opportunity quite like Ethie Classics. Just a short stroll from the breathtaking Lunan Bay, Ethie Classics’ accommodation selection encourages guests to kick back, unwind, and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Angus. Initially starting out as a traditional farming enterprise, Ethie Classics is a business that has long since recognised the value of the Scottish landscape. Holding an immense appreciation for the natural world, in tandem with the family proudly defining themselves as keen natural historians and conservationists, Ethie Classics started to deliberate over how it could introduce more people to the coastal bliss of Angus and Lunan Bay. The result, of course, was none other than the development of its picture-perfect holiday destinations. Taking the form of a coastal area boasting access to golf courses, castles, outdoor pursuits, and coastal walks, Ethie Mains – the manifestation of Ethie Classics’ vision – presents individuals, couples, and families alike with the chance to retreat to one of Scotland’s most peaceful locales. Be they visiting with their delightful dogs or hoping to show off Scotland’s natural beauty to their little ones, Ethie Mains’ luxury holiday cottages and pods promise guests unrestricted access to 360 degrees of rural Scottish beauty. No matter what sort of experience you have in mind, Ethie Mains is on-hand to ensure you enjoy the getaway of a lifetime. Though it initially started out as a romantic destination point for couples wanting to escape to Angus’s sprawling coastal countryside, Ethie Mains soon expanded from one luxury, traditional cottage to offering families the chance to lodge in a tailored cottage that was specifically designed to elevate the experience of adults, children, and beloved family pets alike. Additionally, Ethie Mains invested in three smash-hit ‘sail’ pods to truly immerse any guest in the surrounding landscape. From having direct access to stunning monuments such as Murdo’s Chapel, to being able to spend quality time with free-roaming sheep and cattle, visitors are encouraged to embrace everything the coastal locale has to offer. With its roots so deeply ingrained in preserving the natural balance of the region’s ecology, Ethie Classics has spent its years seamlessly intertwining its traditional strands with its modernised understanding of the travel industry to cultivate a meaningful getaway hotspot. Whether it’s balancing sustainable food production or maintaining biodiversity, Ethie Classics embodies an unwavering dedication to working with the natural landscape and wildlife, as opposed to trying to trump it. This, in turn, lends to the charm and appeal of Ethie Mains – by staying at one of its cottages or pods, families can receive an authentic glimpse into the natural order of the area. Offering an enriching holiday experience unlike any other, Ethie Mains has quickly come to draw the attention of frequent holiday goers and casual guests alike. Its direct link to Lunan Bay, historical monuments, awe-inspiring sandstone cliffs, and Angus’s thriving wildlife population places it in the perfect position to present guests with an unforgettable Scottish coastal experience. And with exciting plans to convert its old tank house into a self-service pub overlooking the bay, it seems as though Ethie Mains certainly has a bright and promising future ahead of it. SME News is always delighted to hold the UK Enterprise Awards, as it grants us a chance to truly immerse ourselves in the best that this country has to offer. Ethie Classics is one exemplary example of Angus’s most iconic coastal destinations – a wonderful, inviting collective who revels in seeing people fall in love with the Scottish landscape. It’s for this very reason that we’re pleased to feature it in 2024’s awards programme, and we eagerly await the unveiling of its anticipated selfservice pub.
