Apartments: Cosy Traditional Cupar Estate Cottage

Cosy, traditional Cottage on a country estate, near St Andrews.

This 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, or if you want to play a different golf course every day for a fortnight, we can help!

It 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 WiFi throughout.

The accommodation comprises:

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. There is also a full size cot, and we are happy to supply bed linen and towels for your baby. A sofa bed 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 20/21 we focussed, not surprisingly, on hygiene and cleanliness, and we continue to prioritise this. In 2023 we are doing a major refurbishment and redecoration of many areas in the cottage, so will be closed til the end of March 2023.

About the location (Fife, Cupar)

Views/Outlook

Outside the garden is stocked with flowers and herbs. There is so much wildlife to enjoy around the cottage, with deer, pheasants and guinea fowl 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.
