The Halfway Houses

👀🔎 MISSING GUIDEBOOK🔦🕵️‍♀️⁉️

I have been telling everyone to look up my fantastically comprehensive (IMO) GUIDE to what’s on in Angus, Dundee and beyond on our Air bnb Listings, BUT… I went to look something up, AND IT HAS ALL DISAPPEARED‼️🙀

It took a huge amount of time and effort to search up and put all the information together, but thankfully I took screen shots of (hopefully) everything, so prepping it again shouldn’t take as long.

Bear with me. As well as links to castles, museums, golf courses, parks, restaurants and Theatres etc, I had added distances and facts, so whilst I’m working on it, you may only see random bits of info for a while 🙂 I’ll post when it’s properly up and running again.

MEANTIME, there’s still lots of information on our Listing photos / here on the page, and the following links will help you investigate…

Thank you for supporting The Halfway Houses and all the other amazing local businesses and attractions that surround us.

If you feel I have missed something off my Guide that new visitors to the area would love, or locals might not know about, let me know.

🍾 To celebrate the spirit of adventure, we’ve teamed up with Angus Alchemy to produce a range of Discovery 125 moonshine; mixing classic Scottish flavours with a sense of exploration rooted in the ship’s 1901 voyage to the frozen South.

You can purchase the moonshine in our gift shop. Honeyberry, Clootie Dumpling, or Cranachan - which will you choose?

Please drink responsibly. For the facts, visit Drinkaware. This product is not intended for individuals under the legal drinking age. Do not drink if you are pregnant or nursing. Never drink and drive.
