At The Bay: Quintessential Cottage in St Andrews

About this listing

This gorgeous country cottage in St Andrews is perfect for some rest and relaxation. Surrounded by the gentle, rolling Fife countryside and near the shore, you can certainly kick back and escape from chaos. If you’re looking for more active pursuits, you’re just minutes away from some of the world’s best golfing and leisure facilities. Take yourself further afield and discover everything this charming part of Fife offers, and you’ll see why locals call it ‘The Kingdom’!

During the Summer, the golfing lifestyle truly comes to life. The Old Course is home of The Open Championship – the oldest of golf’s major championships, just a 9 minute drive away and you’ll also enjoy stunning views of The Kittocks Course (previously The Devlin), from the cottage – can’t ask for much more than that!

It’s also the perfect pad for wedding guests, with three of Fife’s most renowned wedding venues nearby: Kinkell Byre (3 minute drive), The Fairmont Hotel (2 minute drive) and Falside Mill (7 minute drive).

Pop your coats and boots off in the practical yet pretty porch area with a handy downstairs WC. The open plan ground floor makes for easy entertaining with its light and spacious kitchen, dining and living room areas. Patio doors lead out to the gorgeous landscaped gardens and give lovely views when you’re relaxing inside.

Upstairs there are two spacious and comfortable bedrooms, one with twin beds and the other with a double (can convert to twins also). There’s also a handy sofa bed in the master bedroom for extra guests. The modern shower room has a large walk-in shower, and heated towel rail – the decor throughout is contemporary and stylish.

Please feel free to bring your pet. We accept one small well behaved dog per stay.
