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!

Murray's place was warm comfortable and a delight to stay in. It was well appointed and beautifuly clean. To be strongly recommended.

Myself and 2 friends just had a brilliant weekend at Dawn and Darren’s cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The cottage was perfect for what we needed, the decor was lovely and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Hopefully later this year! Thank you Dawn and Darren.

Property was ideally located for quietness. Garden was safe and secure for the dogs. Everything we needed was provided and any queries were answered quickly.

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!

Cute place, small but perfect for a few days away. Everything has been cleverly thought of to fit a tiny space. It’s a great location too but you do need to book if you want to eat at the pub as it is very busy!

Wonderful cottage and great hosts. Perfect base for exploring Fife and the local golf courses. Very well equipped kitchen, we both felt very at home in the comfy lounge.

Amazing. Well beyond our expectations. Everything was perfect. Spotlessly clean, everything you need and wonderful hosts. Thankyou Phil and Judy. Adelaide. Australia.

Ellen had great communication and made sure that everything was in place for our trip as we were catering a Christmas dinner cooked by chef. The ample furniture was such a bonus and it was very comfortable. The location is stunning so much so that whilst on my stay there I decided to put in an offer on a property around the corner to live out my retirement there!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home

Moonzie cottage was absolutely beautiful! It was our last stay after flying out of Scotland, and it was nice to unwind and feel at home. Between the fresh eggs and bread, and the great location, I would definitely recommend!

Had a really lovely stay at Steven’s place in St Monans. A really cozy little spot and the proximity to the tidal pool is a huge plus. Easy to access, ample parking, we had a special time in a really serene spot. The house was great as a base to explore from and the giddy gannet across the road is excellent for breakfast and coffee. It’s perhaps the quietest of those few towns stretching along the coast, but if you’re looking for a comfortable and peaceful getaway, it’s a great house. Well appointed and cared for. Just be careful on the steep stairs! Thanks for sharing it with us.

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 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.

Beautifully thought out with a keen eye for detail. All one’s needs anticipated in a beautiful serene setting. If you ever have an opportunity to stay here you should feel very fortunate. The gardens were a perfect place for coffee or tea with a book and local walks were so lovely. Thank you for an exceptional stay Carol

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.

We had a lovely stay at Karen’s cottage. Karen was great with her communication and very helpful! The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed and was in immaculate condition. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us staying there. The living room has comfy sofas and chair and lovely views out into the countryside- the sunsets were beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy home cooked meals and space for us all to sit around the table. The bedrooms were huge and the beds are the comfiest we have all slept in! The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful setting and is just a 15 minute drive into St Andrews. Would 100% recommend Karen’s cottage and will be sure to return!

This garden apartment was so beautiful and private. Very clean and the bed was super comfortable. It was an excellent area within walking distance to the city, and to the woodland. Would recommend this stay.

Lovely property and great location to pop in and out of St Andrews for the uni open day. Property was spotless and well equipped. Would definitely stay again. We did explain we had a 500 mile drive and couldn’t accurately predict our arrival and so after such a long drive if we arrived an hour early could we enter the property. I think the company managing the property missed the mark with their answer offering us the chance to pay £20-£30 to get in early. However, considering we stated we couldn’t predict exactly what time we may arrive paying extra wasn’t really an option. Of course this didn’t affect our stay and the property was spot on. I would say that given their Ts and Cs state you will be fined if you don’t leave by 10am and therefore hold up their cleaners, it would be good if the cleaners didn’t turn up early. In this case 9:45am and stood outside the front door while we were finishing packing and leaving. Slightly uncomfortable…

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.
