This is just what we needed - a quiet spot to unwind, surrounded by fields, birds chirping, and where you could hear yourself. We loved the spatious living room and kitchen. Kitchen came with washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing machine tablets, cleaning cloths and dishtowels. Great base to explore nearby towns.

First, the cottage was just perfect! Very clean. Nice, big kitchen complete with all the basics needed for cooking and a table for 4. Fridge was large enough for the two of us and had a small freezer compartment. Large entry area which was perfect for storing golf clubs. Bedroom was large and had a queen bed, twin bed, and wardrobe. Lounge was also very big and comfortable. Bathroom was spacious with tub/shower. Excellent water pressure and quick to get hot water. It was easy to find the cottage with the directions provided and the sat-nav. You can park just in front of the door at the back. Very quiet, rural area just a 5 min drive from two large grocery stores and maybe 8 minutes to St Andrews proper. We did have a small problem with the heating. We arrived on a very cold night and the cottage was not heated. The entry way thermometer showed 55F/12C. After unloading and thoroughly searching the house and info sheet for a thermostat, we contacted the agency. For future guests... it's conveniently located behind the microwave in the kitchen. Now, I'd probably put that info on the Welcome Sheet - just saying. We quite nearly left, but fortunately Short Stays UK was very quick to respond and it was all sorted out, so I'm not going to take a star for that. Also, it seems that the heating will only work if the farmhouse has it on - so we did have one chilly night when the radiators had gone cold. Laundry facilities were perfect. Would stay here again!
