Accommodation
Description
Experience top-quality accommodation nestled within a private and secluded walled garden in the heart of historic St Andrews. This prime location offers an ideal retreat for both golfers and visitors, with unbeatable proximity to the world-renowned Old Course—just a 60-second stroll of a little over 100 meters to the 1st tee. Everything you need, from the beach to the town's charming restaurants and cafes, is within easy walking distance.
Perfect for all seasons, this property comfortably sleeps four guests in two en-suite bedrooms. The main lounge boasts a breathtaking full-height glass wall that opens onto a private decking area and garden, creating a tranquil space to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
The Space: Whether you're on a golfing holiday or a leisurely getaway, this modern property offers the best of both worlds: contemporary comfort in a historic setting. Tucked away within a century-old walled garden, this 'secret' garden sanctuary has no adjoining properties, making it perfect for golfers, families, or groups of friends seeking privacy.
The lounge's striking glass wall provides an uninterrupted view of the garden, leading out to a decking area furnished with a table and chairs—ideal for soaking up the summer sun with a glass of wine or a soft drink. The two well-appointed bedrooms each feature their own en-suite shower rooms, with one offering a king-size bed and the other a double bed. The bright, modern kitchen and dining area come fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay.
Just under 100 meters from the property, you'll find yourself gazing out at the stunning West Sands Beach, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, and the iconic Old Course 1st tee.

East Cottage is 5 mins drive to St Andrews and boasts a wood burning stove-fired hot tub. The 2 bedroom cottage has a spacious living/kitchen area with bifold doors out to the large dog-friendly garden. One bathroom with doubled-ended bath and shower.
Comfortably sleeps 4 in two bedrooms. Free parking for 2 cars. Suitable for families, holiday-makers and golfers alike. 5/10 mins drive into St Andrews. Free Wifi in the property. The property has it's own entrance on the ground floor and ample on-street free parking directly outside. The accommodation layouts are as follows: Ground Floor - 1 superking bedroom with storage, 1 twin room that can be made up as a double or twins. Bathroom. Living area/kitchen has bifold doors out to the garden as well as a stable door out to the garden. The outhouse is in the garden and has a 3 seat electric Lazyboy sofa. The TV has Netflix and a PS4. **Please note if the weather is particularly harsh and has been raining constantly, this outhouse will be out of action as the water table creeps up to the floor level** Hot Tub - please note there is an extra charge if you wish to use the wood-fired hot tub - please see the Add Ons section to purchase this extra. There is a lot of preparation involved and we provide a hot tub package which includes robes, wood, hot tub filling (90 mins) and fire setup. The hot tub will take around 2/3 hours to reach full temperature and does get very hot, so please be very careful. Guests will have full access to the entire property (with the exception of hot tub if not booked). No rooms will be off limits and all contents within the cottage including the outhouse are there for our guests use including wifi, the TV and the cooking implements.
