Cardy Cottage sleeps 4, pet friendly, sea views near St Andrews

Cardy Cottage is a grade C listed building located in the historic seaside village of Lower Largo in the picturesque East Neuk of Fife, 10 miles from the historic town of St Andrews famed for its golf and university.

The cottage is quite literally a stones throw from the beach and has open views across the Firth of Forth to the Lothians and Bass Rock. Fall asleep listening to the waves lapping the shore a few yards from the front door.

Lovingly restored and finished in a modern contemporary style this cosy and comfortable holiday cottage will sleep 4 in comfort and features everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. We allow one behaved pet (a small charge is levied for pets).

The village of Lower Largo is famed for being the birth place of Alexander Selkirk (the real Robinson Crusoe) and Cardy Cottage is situated a few yards from the Crusoe statue which marks the spot where Selkirk was born and spent his early years before embarking on his adventures.

The Fife Coastal path runs past Cardy Cottage, bring your walking boots and do as little or as much of the path as you want. The excellent local bus service means one way walks are a distinct possibility.

There is a small shop in the village selling basic essentials as well as the popular and hospitable Railway Inn and Crusoe Hotel and Restaurant, which serves great value meals at lunch and dinner 7 days a week. The shop, pub and hotel are within a 5 minute walk of the cottage.

Further afield the nearest supermarket is 3 miles away in Leven and there are a wide variety of eating places within easy striking distance, ranging from the Michelin starred restaurants to award winning fish and chip shops as well as multiple quality farm shops and markets.

Simon and Becca look forward to welcoming you to Cardy Cottage where we are sure you will have a wonderful stay.

Comfortable cottage in a super location.

Enjoyed a relaxing week away in this lovely cottage in Lower Largo. It’s location is superb, just yards from the beach and ideal for the Fife Coastal Path and fabulous, unspoilt beaches. The cottage is very comfortable and immaculate inside with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge (we didn’t use the real fire but it would be lovely in the colder months) and 2 generous bedrooms. We had everything we needed for our stay and appreciated the welcome goodies left by the owners for our arrival. Parking in front of the property was a bit of a challenge as we have a large car but the option to park in the adjacent car park was always there if we needed it. We would love to return to Cardy cottage and this part of Scotland again.
