Forgan Cottage - newly refurbished

Centrally located 5 minutes walk from the town centre, Forgan Cottage has the charm of an historic cottage with all modern comforts. The cottage was built circa 1896 by the Forgan family who in the late 1800s were one of the leading golf club manufacturers based in St Andrews.
The cottage was modernised in 2012 and has recently undergone major refurbishment in 2022 with new basement utility area, new decor, furnishings and flooring in all the bedrooms, and new flooring throughout the rest of the cottage.
The bright living/dining area looks out onto the back garden and the path along the Kinness Burn can be accessed through the rear garden gate.
All bedrooms have superking size beds, and can all be converted to twin beds.
The large centrally heated basement has been fully modernised with new units and flooring this year. There is a new washing machine, tumble dryer, additional integrated fridge and freezer, wine chiller fridge and specially designed space for your dog. There is also ample space to store bikes and golf clubs.

Great location and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable beds. Lovely outdoor space with nice garden furniture. Street parking not too bad considering how close it is to the town centre. Refurbished basement is a very useful space. Nice modern bathroom with very powerful shower. Only negative for us was the kitchen being so small and having to go outside to access the basement/ freezer. However, it is a very old/ historic cottage and the owner has definitely made the absolute most of the space available.

Great location, Great Home

The property is comfortable, and the rooms are impeccable decorated with fine linen and high end bedding. The only inconvenience is that it has one shower and the lighting in the shower room is dim. A quick upgrade to LED Soft white will do the trick. Nevertheless, there is a creek that flows behind the property that is idealic and the walk into town through the Briar path is a storybook experience. Will 100% stay here again. The garden in the back of the property is more than perfect.

Stay in St Andrews

Forgan Cottage was a great place to stay for the four of us on our golf trip to St Andrews. Facilities were clean and well cared for. Location is excellent - if you want to walk you are within 15 minutes of just about everything of significance in St Andrews. While no onsite parking - there is ample free parking nearby. Patricia was a great host - always communicated clearly and promptly during the booking and stay. Beds were comfortable and rooms well furnished. Forgan will nicely support 3 couples. We were four separate individuals and it work out nice for beds available. Would gladly come back to Forgan Cottage in the future.

Such a charming cottage

We had a fantastic stay in Forgan Cottage! The beds were comfortable, the decor was charming, the TV room was snug and enjoyable too. Best of all was the location - just a 5-10 minute walk to virtually all of St. Andrew's, especially fun via Louden's Close and Lad's Brae - 2 little waling paths that have a very 'secret garden' kind of feel. We absolutely loved it. Great communication and help from our host Patricia too - thank you!!

Excellent Property

We really enjoyed our time at the Forgan Cottage. Patricia was an excellent host who was very responsive from booking all the way through check out. The property is very clean and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. Although the garden area looks great, we were not able to enjoy it because of the weather. The property is very conveniently located and easy to find. Once in St Andrews, you rarely require a car since South, Market and North Streets are all within 5-10 minute walks. There you will find many coffee shops, restaurants and bars. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who is considering a visit to St Andrews.
