GARDEN COTTAGE, near St Andrews. Glorious country location. | Cottage in cupar fife
2 Bedroom Cottage in Cupar, cupar fife
Garden Cottage is a special place in the countryside of Fife, only about 9 miles from St Andrews, but light years from the noise of town and city living. Here, we work hard to make your holiday just a little more special. We will be happy to use our local knowledge to help you find that special restaurant, or that quiet, off-the-beaten-track beach.
The cottage is right in the heart of Kinloss Estate in Fife. The Estate extends to about 200 acres of arable land, and although close to Cupar and St Andrews, it is a wonderfully peaceful and tranquil place.
We are excited to tell you that we have now finished a major refurbishment of Garden Cottage, all tastefully in keeping with the ambiance of this special place. Photos now all on our listing. Please take a look. We really hope you enjoy them.
Garden Cottage is stone built, and set in its own gardens, with woodlands at the side. It sits on a private road, which is only used by cottage guests, and the very occasional tractor working on the estate. We think it’s probably about two hundred years old, and has lots of character and traditional charm. It was originally the cottage for the Head Gardener on the Estate, though it has been tastefully renovated, and upgraded since his day. The cottage has central heating, and free wi-fi throughout. In summer ( June,July and August) central heating is not included, although there are 2 electric heaters to use as required, and of course the open fire. In winter, approx 10 hours per day , split between morning and evening, are included. If you think you require more than that for summer or winter, it can be made available for a small additional charge. Please ask!
Downstairs the cottage has a cosy sitting room, with an open fire, flat screen TV, and comfortable sofas. The TV has UK free-sat channels and a DVD player and a selection of DVDs. There are also a selection of games and books in the cottage. We supply a starter pack of coal, and unlimited logs for the fire, so that you can enjoy the pleasure of a real fire.
On the ground floor there is also a full dining room, where the whole family can enjoy meals. With lots of lamps, it’s the perfect place to have a leisurely meal in the evening, as the light fades outside, enjoying the tranquility of the countryside, in the comfort of your own space.
There is also a well equipped kitchen with hob, oven, microwave, washing machine, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, as well as a separate larder. We like to think we have supplied all you need to do as much ( or as little!) cooking as you want.
Downstairs there is a little cloakroom with a toilet and basin.
Upstairs, there is a bathroom which has a lovely showerbath, with fixed screen and power shower, toilet and basin. There are 2 bedrooms - one with a double bed, the other with 2 twin beds. The beds are handmade by a local craftsman, from our own timber, and are made up with comfy toppers and cosy duvets. If you need microfibre bedding, please let us know in plenty of time. There is also a full size cot, and we are happy to supply bed linen and towels for your baby. A futon is available in the dining room, for an additional charge.
We know from our guests feedback that you will love the cottage because of its amazing location, and the attention to detail in the furnishings and decoration. Every year we do something new to improve the facilities in the cottage. In 2023/24 we did a major refurbishment and redecoration of many areas in the cottage.. Photos now available! We have also added a little gift shop. It features my individually designed and handknitted hats, beanies, ‘ponytail’ beanies, wristwarmers, ( FB -@coolbeaniesscotland ) and beautiful hand made cards and jewellery made by Emma my housekeeper. if you’d like more details, please ask! 💕💕
Outside the garden is stocked with flowers and shrubs. There is so much wildlife to enjoy around the cottage, with deer, pheasants and quail all being regular visitors, especially in the early morning. In front of the cottage, in an open grassy area, is our duck pond, which has lots of wild ducks. In the spring, We love to see the ducklings, swimming in line behind their mothers.
In May, we host the Fife Agricultural Show in some of our fields, in the middle of May. It’s far enough away from the cottage that you’ll hardly notice it, but if you want to visit, there are lots of things to see and do, with show jumping, cattle, sheep and horse shows, as well as all sorts of traditional Scottish exhibitions and displays.
On the Estate, about 100 yards from the cottage, is our tennis court, and guests are welcome to use it by arrangement. If you don't have room in your luggage to bring rackets, just let us know, and we'll provide some.
Further afield, there is so much to see and explore in Fife. The Open Golf comes to St Andrews regularly, and was last here in July 2022. And of course, it would be wrong not to mention the many and varied golf courses in the area.
The cottage is about 9 miles from St Andrews, and so is perfect for golfers, or for visitors to the University. St Andrews itself has much to see, from St Rules Tower, the Castle and the other historic areas.
On the Fife Coast, there are the pretty East Neuk villages, such as Anstruther, and Pittenweem, and the Pittenweem Art Festival is not to be missed. The beach and forest at Tentsmuir is well worth a visit. Even in high summer the long white beaches are clean and quiet, and seals can often be seen basking in the sun ( the sun does actually shine quite a lot in Scotland - contrary to common belief!!).
Edinburgh is only an hour away by train or car, with the Edinburgh Festival in August, and so many sights and shops to see and visit.
Fife is in fact just the prefect place from which to explore all that the East of Scotland has to offer.
We have now been granted our Short Term Listing Licence, by Fife Council. Licence ref. FI 00612 F. EPC Band F.
Regrettably no dogs.
It really is our pleasure to welcome you to Garden Cottage, and we will do our best to make your stay in Fife a happy memorable one. We look forward to hearing from you!
