At the Bay - A Quintessential Cottage
At the Bay – Charming Country Cottage Near St Andrews
Explore the beauty of Fife from this gorgeous country cottage near St Andrews, nestled in the rolling countryside and just a short drive from the stunning coastline. Perfect for rest and relaxation, the cottage offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. For those seeking adventure, world-class golfing and leisure facilities are just minutes away. Step further afield to discover the historic towns, picturesque fishing villages, and scenic coastal walks that make Fife so special - it’s easy to see why locals proudly call it ‘The Kingdom of Fife’.
Stylish and Comfortable Interiors
Pop your coats and boots off in the practical yet charming porch, which also includes a convenient downstairs WC. The open-plan ground floor is perfect for entertaining, with a light and spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room. Patio doors lead out to beautifully landscaped gardens, offering tranquil views when you’re relaxing indoors.
Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious and comfortable bedrooms: one with twin beds and one double (which can be converted to twins if needed).
