Quiet retreat

We had a fabulous time and could just have relaxed at the Bothy all the time. It is a lovely quiet rural retreat that is full of light and opens up to the private garden. A wonderful find!!

Beautiful Cottage, an absolute dream!

Loved the secluded location, however, only a few minutes drive from all amenities. Amazing views, and bathed in sunlight, with the huge stunning glass doors. Great for children, dog friendly, golfers. Suitable for all! I shall definitely be re-booking. Nothing!
Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2025
Hi Helen, Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re so glad you loved the secluded yet convenient location and that the views and sunlight through the glass doors made your stay even more special. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Short Stay St Andrews

Really cool place!

This was a beautiful and architecturally unique home! We had perfect weather and it was so cool to be able to open the sliding doors (which essentially opened an entire corner of the house) and sit with nature 5 minutes outside of the city. We took a couple beautiful walks and it had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The cleanliness of dishes could certainly use some attention but nothing we couldn't work around. Also, it would be nice touch to have some coffee stocked after a long days travel but there was a lidl right down the road. We found one of the best local restaurants, The Tavern, Home of Strathmash. It was about a 10 minute drive and was one of the absolute best meals I've had in a long time. They had live folk music (and sounds like other types of music depending on the night) and NOT your typical pub food. We met the chef and everything was fresh made homemade and fantastic. This was one of the highlights of our trip.
