At The Bay - A Quintessential Cottage

This gorgeous country cottage near St Andrews is perfect for some rest and relaxation. Surrounded by the gentle, rolling Fife countryside and near to the shore, you can certainly kick back and relax here. Or 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 even further afield and discover everything that this charming part of Fife has to offer and you’ll see why locals call it ‘The Kingdom’!

The modern shower room has a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail and the decor throughout is contemporary and stylish.

'At The Bay' enjoys a beautiful rural setting in the Fife countryside. Located in a small courtyard development, this is a tranquil, peaceful haven in which to relax and recharge. Surrounded by a glorious mix of farmland and forests, plus with the stunning coastline close by, you’ll love the wide diversity of nature which is all around.



There is a wide range of outdoor pursuits in the area including walking, riding, cycling, sailing and of course golf. It’s less than 3 miles to St Andrews, the world famous home of golf with its numerous fine courses and excellent facilities. Closer to the property, and within walking distance, there are the distinguished courses at the nearby Fairmont Hotel, which also boasts excellent spa and dining facilities.



You are well placed to explore further afield from here too. Cupar, Fife’s bustling county market town is close by as is Dundee (15 miles) and the picturesque fishing villages of the quaint ‘East Neuk’ area including Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem and St. Monans. There are several historical sites of interest in Fife too which are well worth a visit including Kellie Castle, Hill of Tarvit and Falkland Palace. And for beach lovers, the beautiful coastline includes several favourites such as those at St. Andrews, Kingsbarns, Tentsmuir and Elie.



There is private parking for two cars at the property plus a good local road network. There are several railway stations nearby and the regional airport at Dundee offers a selection of short haul flights.



Welcome to 'At The Bay' and have a fantastic stay!



There is ample parking at the property itself, however if you venture into the lovely St Andrews itself you'll find free parking at The Bruce Embankment, just off the Petheram Bridge. Cars can be parked here for the whole day without charge.



There is plenty of pay and display parking around town - search Parkopedia for exact locations.
