Short Stay in St. Andrew’s
This is an absolutely beautiful property. We stayed for two days during a quick visit to Scotland. The property is exactly as advertised, in a beautiful location. It’s very peaceful and the perfect place for a short rest.

In the countryside but only minutes by car to St Andrews
Ideal for a quiet holiday, but able to enjoy City and Fife coast. A good mix.

The Garden Cottage
The Garden Cottage was everything we could have wished for on our weekend visit. Impeccably clean, stylishly designed, thoughtfully filled with exactly what we needed to feel like a ‘home from home’. Local advice of where to visit and where to eat was spot on and we cannot recommend the cottage enough. Pure perfection!

Fabulous stay in a beautiful and serene setting
My wife and I absolutely loved spending the day reading and relaxing by the wood stove looking out over the fields, watching sunrises together. The check in process was easy, and everything was clean and extremely well maintained. The bed was fantastic to sleep on. We loved it so much we booked an extra night! It's a short drive to St. Andrews and a number of farm shops and other small towns. Well worth the stay!
