Luxury cottage in countryside setting near to St Andrews perfect for golfers

We converted our stables in2017 and it has been finished and equipped to a high standard offering great accommodation to golfers, families and anyone seeking a quiet country retreat. There is access to the courtyard garden with its Mediterranean feel where there is a hot tub exclusively for the use of guests at the Stables Cottage. We also have 15 acres of fields and woodland that guests can walk through or picnic in. St Andrews is a 10 minute drive away and Cupar railway station giving direct trains to Edinburgh (1hour), Dundee and Aberdeen is 5 minutes drive away. The new V and A opened in Dundee on 15 September 2018.
St Andrews of course offers great golf, beautiful beaches and wonderful restaurants as well as the historic university.If you were fans of The Crown or Outlander you will have access to the Scotland they portray Within an hour’s drive. There are 3 bedrooms 2 of which are ensuite one with a roll top bath, the other with a shower room and there is a third shower room with disabled access.The bedrooms all have super king beds which can be split into singles if required. The beds have luxury mattress toppers with White Company bed linen. There are also White Company towels and bathrobes. There are beach towels for hot tub use. The main living area is open plan with a well equipped kitchen, dining table and sitting room with smart television with free view box. There is internet access.
There is access to an enclosed archway where guests can enjoy drinks or coffee with a view of the courtyard garden. Most of our guests comment on the cottage being so much more than they expected and how they enjoy the peaceful setting. It is also popular because it is well situated not only for St Andrews golf courses but also Carnoustie and Gleneagles. It can be rented along with the Hayshed Cottage by larger groups.

New Year Stay

We stayed 4 nights , the accommodation was excellent and just as described. The hot tub was enjoyed by the children, even in the inclement weather! Communication before and during our stay with Sue, the host was also excellent, and we were very appreciative of the board games she loaned for us to play with the children!

Wonderful !

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and had a lovely welcome from the owners. We had everything we could have wished for in a cosy relaxed atmosphere. The cottage was very clean and beautifully furnished and the enclosed garden was very pretty. We did not try the hot tub but it looked very inviting. We would definitely stay again sometime.

Great location!

Sue was fantastic from start to finish. Really appreciated her being so available to help with things. The place has everything you need. The hot tub was fun, the sun even came out as we sat in it. The courtyard is a sun trap which helped on a windy day. We had a four year old with us and she loved the swings and soccer goal. Beds are very comfortable and everything was very clean. Would stay here again!

2020 holiday

I stayed here with a group of close friends over the weekend and our time at the property was perfect. The house was spotless on arrival and was fully stocked with all the essentials we needed like soaps, towels etc. Susan and her husband both went above and beyond to cater to our every need and it was more than appreciated. I could not recommend this place enough. *****
