The Maltings at Pitlessie House: a stunning barn conversion 12m from St Andrews

The Maltings is a converted 300 year-old agricultural building adjacent to Pitlessie House - a historic listed building from 1727. The property shares a courtyard with Pitlessie House and has its own private garden with a deck, furniture and BBQ. The ground floor is a huge, open-plan, kitchen-dining-living space with sofa seating for 14 and a dining table that seats 12. With 5 bedrooms and 2 sofa beds in separate alcoves of the second, upstairs living room, The Maltings can easily sleep 14 without anyone feeling squashed! The property also welcomes up to two dogs subject to arrangement.

The property is 12 miles from St Andrews, the home of golf. The picturesque East Neuk of Fife coastline is around 15 miles from The Maltings. Slightly further afield, Edinburgh is 1hr away, Glasgow 90 minutes, Gleneagles 45 minutes. The property is suitable for multi-generation family groups, golfers, hikers and anyone interested in the history and landscapes of Scotland.

It’s such a beautiful house. There’s so much space and James has thought of everything you could possibly need. Plenty of glasses, crockery and cookware and all beds very comfy and showers powerful. We had a wonderful stay and will hopefully be back at some point.

Lovely and spacious with plenty of bed and bathroom space to fit 12 people comfortably. Bust stop right outside and train station a 10 minute drive away in Cupar. Nice village pub right next door. Outdoor grill and deck to enjoy the long Scottish evenings and a very gracious host
