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’!



Pop your coats and boots off in the practical yet pretty porch area, which also has 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.

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





KEY FEATURES

• Glorious countryside location

• Close to world-class golfing and leisure facilities

• Open plan downstairs area

• Fully equipped kitchen

'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.

Beautiful Property - Secluded Location

A well appointed cottage with large rooms and lovely garden / outside areas. Close enough to St Andrews to enjoy the town, far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Nice Stay near St Andrews

We just spent 5 days at this unit. It was a bit out of town but, unless you love relentless crowds and hunting for paid parking, it is better to be out of town. No big problems, easy to communicate with agency via email and they respond quickly. Of course, they are available via phone for urgency but we had no need to call. Suggestion to take this to next level. Perhaps leave a few Bin bags-the unit had one bag for 5 day stay. Cheap thing to do and avoids overstuffing bin bags. And put a small broom in the unit for gentle tidying (and it might make the after visit professional cleanup a bit easier). All in all a very good stay. If you are looking for a place to stay in the St Andrews area, give it a try.

Great place near St Andrews

This was a perfect cottage right outside St Andrews, only a short drive into town. Beautiful scenery with a view of one of the golf courses, and we had everything we needed for two great days in this part of Scotland.
