Cottage holiday rentals in St Andrews

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

Our stay at the cottage was lovely. Ashley was quick to respond when we were having trouble with the WIFI . It was so peaceful and managed to spot a dear as we arrived. Would highly recommend. Colin, Michael &Lina.

I had a lovely weekend in Dawn and Darren’s wonderful cottage! It was clean and spacious, with great amenities . The added bonus of having a wood fire hot tub outside is fantastic! The cottage is in a lovely area for getting into nature, only a 10 minute walk to Loch Leven! Dawn was great to communicate with, very helpful and generous Will be back to visit again!

This cottage is wonderful. It's very cozy, has everything one could want including a big hot tub in a very secluded garden. We have dogs and because the garden is surrounded by stone walls and fences, it was perfect to let them wonder while we were in the hot tub. Very secluded and secure garden. The area is just idyllic. Two minutes away from Auchmittie and in the middle of beautiful countryside and so close to great beaches too. The hosts were excellent in all aspects too.

We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

We had a brilliant few days away at the cottage, the place was lovely and clean for us arriving. The courtyard is amazing, we loved listening to all of the birds whilst using the hot tub. The attic space was a perfect little reading nook! Susan was super friendly and accommodating - we’ll definitely be back!

We very much enjoyed our stay Great layout of the home with all amenities you could need and a lovely welcome gift & card Thanks so much for having us!

Sandra’s cottage is lovely! It’s a confortable base for touring the gorgeous Grampians and Cairngorms, the many castles, Stirling and more. The cottage is very private and silent. It is surrounded by a sunny nice-sized private garden. It has confortable and inviting beds, a charming livingroom with a tiny fireplace (it works well). Lots of books to read (if you have the time, with so much to see! 😉). The kitchen is equipped enough for a simple meal. Thank you Sandra for hosting us!

lovely cottage, great peaceful and quiet location. Katy was very helpful with instructions and make herself available if we had any problems.

Our stay at Wemyss Castle Estate was wonderful! The accommodations were lovely and immaculate. Jamie was welcoming, friendly, and great at communicating. We especially enjoyed touring the Wemyss Caves and the beautiful gardens on the estate. Paulina checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and took care of our special requests (due to allergies). There was even a very nice welcome basket of "goodies" on our arrival. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wanted to explore the beauty of Fife and would love to be able to return!

We had a wonderful time at Kathy's. It's a lovely place and in a brilliant and peaceful location. Easy drive to Dundee from here. Kathy was very quick to respond, and she accommodated us very last minute. Thanks again!

A beautiful, quiet cottage, very close to restaurants and sea pool. Beautiful walks along the Fife coast and there is a local bus that takes you to other towns. Would definitely return. Thank you Steven

A lovely little cottage in an excellent location - really close to the beach. Very relaxing and well equipped and comfortable. Rhona was really nice and helpful. Thanks for the biscuits and drinks too they were a nice touch. We would definitely like to come back at some point.

We stayed for 4 days with our 13 month old. The accommodation was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The house was clean and had a range of cleaning facilities too. It was our first time in Pittenweem but won’t be our last. Cottage is located only 10 mins from the harbour and a 25 min walk to Anstruther. Kirsten was really helpful with messages and provided us with a high chair and travel cot for our son. Cannot recommend this enough and we plan to come back later in the year! Thanks again for a lovely few days in Pittenweem.

A fantastic cottage in the heart of Fife! Perfect for families or a small group of golfers. The cottage is centrally located to the St. Andrews, Ansruther, and Leven areas, with easy drives to the towns and their historic golf courses. It was clean, spacious enough for a couple of adults or a family, and Trevor & Carolyn were excellent hosts - always communicative and friendly. Highly recommend to friends for a weekend golf outing or families looking to soak in all that Fife has to offer.

The perfect place to explore the local area. Anchor House was just beautiful- cosy, charming and everything you could possibly need at hand. Ann was an excellent host - friendly and helpful.

A great place to stay - smallish second bedroom and so a bit cosy, but otherwise the perfect place to hang in St Andrews - a lovely suntrap outside for a morning coffee to plan the day's golf and more generally catch up on life with your mates.

I can't say enough about this magical cottage. The phenomenal view of the castle was the icing on the cake. Everything was wonderful here - beds were comfy, kitchen had everything we needed, living area was cozy, bathroom was clean. Location is marvelous - restaurants and bars are close and the Royal Mile, Victoria Street and Candlemakers Row are all within walking distance. I would book this place again in a heartbeat!

We (2 adults + toddler) had a lovely stay at Lilac Cottage in August '24. The place was even better than what you see in the photos - spacious and incredibly well appointed. We loved the cosy living room and the new kitchen! The location couldn't be more perfect if you are looking to stay at a peaceful, picturesque corner of the Scottish countryside. It is a quiet place but there's still plenty to do in the sorrounding areas. Diane was super responsive and friendly, always at hand for any questions and recommendations.

The garden flat was precisely as described by Jill and was the perfect stay for our week in the area. Not too far from Perth’s center, but in a private and peaceful location. The flat had all the amenities we needed and Jill checked in on us over messages periodically to make sure we were comfortable and good to go. We also spoke to John in passing and he was very friendly. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to stay again.

We had an absolutely great stay here at the cottage. It's in a fantastic location within a wonderful hamlet, making it an ideal base for exploring St Andrews. Miranda is a brilliant host, so friendly and helpful. She's always available, proactive with her messages, and the birthday cake was a really special touch that made us feel incredibly welcome. The beds as others have said, are genuinely fantastic. I love the area and would not hesitate to come back and stay again the next time we’re in St Andrews. Completely recommend.

James’ place was absolutely perfect from start to finish. It had everything we needed and even a brand new high chair for our baby. The sea view was magical and the house was gorgeous. Everything was perfectly spotless and clean. 10/10 without a doubt.

Perfect cottage for our needs. Ideal for my 96 year old Mom with only 2 steps to front door and no other level changes. Very clean and well equiped.
