Cottage vacation rentals in St Andrews

We walked in the property in awe..!! What an amazing place “house on the hill” is. My wife and I couldn’t stop looking out at the view even at night time when it was dark. Under floor heating and a log fire certainly keeps you cozy throughout your stay. We had a bath on both nights together and we could sit side by side it’s that big and take in the view of the stars and planets. That was a first for both of us..!!! The bed is that comfy my wife had decided we need one exactly like it and the same size, which I’ve agreed too. We took in a day in Elie, Pitwimmen, St Monans & Anstruther. We had breakfast at the Pavillion and meal at Ship Inn. Both places were lovely and great food. We haven’t had the luxury like this before so we are going to book again for next year. Thanks Darren & Claudia.

We were looking for a total peaceful break, clear instructions on how to use amenities, hot tub was really clean and really warm so enjoyed hours relaxing in it! Thank you Ainslie ❤️

just got home after spending 4 relaxing nights at the log cabin. Beautiful location so peaceful and tranquil. Hazel left a lovely welcome package which was much appreciated! Hot tub was fab to relax in and lovely and private as was the Sauna. Bed was very comfy and plenty of space in the whole cottage. The shower was amazing so powerful. if you book to stay here you will not be disappointed will definitely go back again!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location. The cottage was well kept and very homely. It was ideal for our family with everything we needed. The location was fantastic. Great walks for the dogs, both at the cottage and nearby (some recommended by the owner). As well as close to a number of child friendly locations and activities for our 7 year old. A large Tesco was nearby as well as some great restaurants. We found it very relaxing and enjoyed watching the garden birds, red squirrel, and local deer. The owner was very helpful, with quick responses, and all relevant information provided in advance. The only point we have to note was the limited water pressure for the shower. The owner did make us aware of this in advance of the visit. Although low pressure, it was also still sufficient, clean, and worked so we could have a shower. Thanks again to Ashley for all her support throughout and her beautiful holiday home.

Very well designed cottage making the best possible use of quite a small space - with both a shower room and bathroom , utility room as well as kitchen/living space and the patio with hot tub. Although near to the High Street with a range of takeaways and a superb butcher (Hunters) the cottage is in a very quiet street. The nearby Curate Wynd free car park was very handy and we could unload from there. Although Dawn and Darren were away Dawn was on hand to answer any queries. We had a great three day break - spending the days at the RSPB Nature Reserve in stunning weather. We ate out one night at the Balgedie Toll Tavern - highly recommended for great food and very good service.

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 an absolutely lovely time at Ali's place. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hot tub and garnden really make the place with stunning views. Easy access to Edinburgh by train and car and also the Fife coastal path. We loved it! would be very happy to return again one day. Ali was the perfect host.

Very much enjoyed our stay in rural Fife. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath every evening we were there. The cabin was cosy and the bed extremely comfortable. Complete peace and quiet meant we had a wonderful sleep every night. Thank you Monty for allowing us to enjoy a peaceful getaway at your cabin, Lorraine

We rented Ladywell Lodge with the Doocot for a large family holiday. Though the cottage is up in the hills, it was very quick to get to major routes. The lodge was perfect for the two couples who stayed there. It is tucked away in its own large outdoor space with woods and hill walks just moments away. It was comfortable and clean with everything as described. The kitchen was well laid out and the sitting room really cosy. The hosts were great too - Sandra is really responsive and we found the flexible check in really good. It was perfect for our family and being able to pair renting this with the Doocot meant we had a brilliant space for lots of people to stay. My husband and I would love to go back and would happily rent the lodge again as it was so comfortable in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend.

We are a family of four with two young girls and felt right at home from the moment we walked in. A very lovely and comfortable cottage, well equipped and Maddie kindly left us milk in the fridge and delicious biscuits on arrival. It's a quick 40 mins to glenshee ski centre and we were lucky enough to have snow. The kids loved sledding and having a winter hike. The cottage is set in a lovely peaceful area near the river amongst blueberry and cherries trees, sadly as we came in winter they were not in bloom but you can tell how magnificent it would have been. Would recommend!

Lovely stay! Accommodation was beautiful, all the thoughtful extras I’ve probably never seen an Airbnb go so far out their way to add that little extra to enhance a visitors stay. Very responsive to questions and the property was immaculately clean! 5 ⭐️

Lovely one night stay at Weavers Cottage. Stay was exactly as described and it being right on the beach was great for us as we visited with our dog, who enjoyed the early morning walk in particular. Peaceful location and all amenities as described. Nice touch that we had milk from Caron for a brew when we arrived. Good instructions were given from Caron and the cottage was lovely, warm and cosy inside. Should we ever be in that neck of the woods we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you for stay, even though it was brief. Sandra, Steve and Ted

This relaxing, comfortable, and peaceful place was just what weary travelers needed! Natalie was warm and welcoming, and the apartment was super conveniently located in the village. We enjoyed eating at the Crail Harbor Gallery, wandering the village and seaside, and then coming home to sit by the wood stove.

Cottage was comfortable, well equipped, clean and tidy and just what we needed. Everything that we needed. We were there for work and it did fit the bill but would be a great place for a peaceful break. Centrally located in Fife too.

We had a super stay at Wemyss Estate. We felt very much at home, & enjoyed the local walks on the Estate and Fife Coastal Path, & further afield.

Rona and Bryan are absolutely brilliant hosts and their place was perfect. They communicated brilliantly and clearly and they were very responsive. We loved the enclosed garden so we could let our dog wander around outside safely, and the house was cosy and well-located. Rona and Bryan were such thoughtful hosts. They’ve clearly really thought about what guests need and have added little details to make the stay easier. They were fantastic and we’d definitely stay with them again.

We had a really lovely stay at Louis' cottage during our winter trip. The location is quite easy to find given the area is surrounded by fields. The view from the cottage is so beautiful and tranquil. The central heating keeps us warm and toasty. Kitchen has plenty of utensils and appliances for us to cook our breakfast. Highly recommended!

Beautifully quaint bolthole! The Cupboard is a utterly lovely place in Elie, literal stonesthrow from the beach, where our dog and us had a magical time. Tiny but expertly laid out, and efficiently uses the space so you feel super at home. We love it and will defo be back

we thoroughly enjoyed our break away in Elie - the cottage was very well appointed- a real home 🏠 from home. Thank you Julie for all your help .

Spent a lovely couple of days at the cottage with our family - myself , husband and 2 children ages 7 and 11 over the Easter holidays . The place was fantastic , furnished to a high standard , clean and had everything we needed for a cosy stay. Rooms were much larger than we anticipated with very comfy beds - We loved the wood burn stove to sit round at night and appreciated all the little touches likes tea, coffee etc and selection of books and games. Host was in touch prior to the stay and the whole booking was seamless and helpful. Only thing we felt could be improved was the shower - the water pressure was very low. A wonderful stay - we would Stay again and recommend to others a great central base for exploring St Andrews and the costal side of Fife with everything within 10-15 min drive .

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.

Cottage is in a great location with easy walk to town centre, swingpark and harbour. Kitchen/sitting area is great for having everyone in one area and the garden is lovely. The cottage was well stocked with everything you could need from kitchen equipment and outdoor items including badminton rackets and football (oh and a wee dog bed I found in hall cupboard). Beds were comfy and the rooms had great blackout blinds (which are sometimes lacking in other places). Would definitely use again and recommend to families.

I picked the cottage for a few nights away as it looked gorgeous and the plan was to spend most of our time just chilling in the house. The property is stunning. Really beautifully decorated and has a lovely luxurious feel. The kitchen is probably the best equipped I have ever stayed in, not only in regards to the equipment but also the pantry staples, cleaning items and lovely glassware and crockery. There are a host of gorgeous books, novels and cookbooks throughout the house. The bed is DIVINE, and the bedroom so peaceful. The wood burner in the bedroom was such a treat too. Patrycja was really responsive from booking right to when we left, helpful with all questions and local recommendations. I highly recommend the cottage and would definitely return.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying here for 3 nights for my partners birthday and can honestly say we enjoyed every single minute. From meeting with Nick the host at check in he was friendly informative and welcoming. To the amazing scenery and amnesties with the beautiful animals. The quality of duvets, towels and bed sheets were amazing! We felt so cozy,comfortable and at home throughout our full stay. A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Cozy living room with smart tv was a great addition. Beds were extremely comfortable and curtains were black out so a great night sleep was had. Shower was great pressure and beautiful aaran aromatics body wash shampoo ect all supplied. Spotlessly clean property throughout. We can’t fault our stay at all and cannot wait to return! Thank you for everything Nick!
