About this property

Kinness Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Kinness Cottage is a stunning, renovated modern home, that still maintains a cosy, traditional feel, just a few minutes' walk to South Street, one of the main streets in St Andrews.

You enter the property through a beautiful mature, walled front garden with a manicured lawn, equipped with a fire pit/BBQ, outdoor dining area and Croquet.

Found on the ground floor, within the original boundaries of the cottage, are two bedrooms; one double with an en-suite shower room, and another twin bedroom. There is also a master shower room.

Just along the hall, in an impressive bright and spacious extension consisting of an open plan living, diner and kitchen. The original exterior wall has been impeccably maintained. Despite the stone walls, floors and high ceiling, this room is very toasty in the colder months, equipped with underfloor heating throughout and a log burning stove nestled in the corner. The floor to ceiling doors spanning almost the entire length of the lounge open entirely on to the patioed dining area.

The first-floor compromises of another two bedrooms; one twin and one double and another bathroom, equipped with a shower over the bath.

Kinness Cottage also benefits from a private parking space in front of the garage – something highly sort after in St Andrews! There are also free parking spaces opposite the garage if required, also. 

Kinness Cottage is set over two levels, and briefly compromises of:

Ground floor:
Open plan kitchen/living/diner with wood burning stove and underfloor heating
Bathroom with large shower cubicle
Twin bedroom
Double bedroom with en-suite shower room

First floor:
One double bedroom
One twin bedroom
Master bathroom with shower over bath

Exterior:
Private garage (parking available outside)
Further free parking space opposite (not allocated)
Private, fully enclosed front garden with outdoor seating

Wonderful place

This is a great place for couples, friends and families. Very spacious and everything we needed. The people at Kingask (Molly) were very helpful and quick to make a decision. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spacious. Loved the shower. We walked everywhere and only took a taxi the days we golfed.

Excellent holiday home

Stayed here for four nights with family. The house is clean, bright, well laid out and well equipped. I’ve given four rather than five stars for dealing with management because, although consistently friendly polite and available we were not able to access the house until 4.30pm because the previous tenants had left a mess and cleaning took longer than usual. This made things a bit difficult for us. However the company did waive our late checkout fee. I would definitely use Kingask Properties again.

Cozy with important modern touches

Easy to like property with everything you'd need for making St. Andrews your base camp for a holiday. Close to the town's nerve centers, modernized bathrooms, kitchens, and heating. It was great.

Fantastic Flat in Heart of St Andrews; Pictures Don't do it Justice!

The Kinness Cottage really exceeded expectations for our group: spacious, in the heart of St. Andrews, and great little outdoor space! Communication with host was seamless and property easy to find. Would recommend and hope to return!!
