Description
Top-Quality Cottage in a Secluded Walled Garden, 60 Seconds from the Old Course's 1st Tee | Sleeps 4
Experience top-quality accommodation tucked inside a private, secluded walled garden in the heart of historic St Andrews. With the Old Course just over 100 metres away, you are around a 60-second walk to the 1st tee, with West Sands Beach, great restaurants and cafés all within easy walking distance.
Sleeping 4 guests, the cottage has two en-suite bedrooms and a bright, modern layout designed for comfort in every season. Guests have exclusive use of the entire property.
The Space
Offering 50 m² of detached accommodation, the main lounge features a full-height glass wall with calming garden views and direct access to a private deck with outdoor seating — ideal for unwinding after a day in town or on the links. A well-equipped kitchen and dining area provides everything needed for a self-catering stay.
The property is located at the back of 6A Playfairs: access is via a black gate marked 6 on Gillespie Wynd — enter the gate and follow the garden path, and The Whins is to the left with the glass front. For larger parties, The Whins Cottage can be booked together with nearby 6A Playfairs, creating an ideal set-up for bigger golf groups who want to stay close by while still enjoying their own space and privacy.
