Cottage vacation rentals in St Andrews

A wonderful visit. So impressed by the views, a great location. Far enough away from town that you have peace and tranquility but close enough to walk to Elie and enjoy all the local amenities. The accommodation itself is beautiful and we had a wonderful stay. Thank you again!

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 ❤️

Fantastic house, great facilities, loved the jacuzzi. Stayed for a week of golf and was very central to our needs. Host was available when needed but no interference. Recommendations for food were excellent! Highly recommend.

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.

Thank you for a beautiful stay!. Myself and 2 friends were celebrating turning 40. The house was stunning, and beautifully cared for. Everything we needed was at hand and if we had needed anything Emily was just a door knock away which was great to know. This little gem makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere taking some much needed time away.

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.

Had a great stay here, everything was here that I needed, my dogs were also very well catered for. I had to change the plans a couple of times and Anne was very responsive and very helpful. Would 100% recommend this little apartment, it was small but perfectly formed with a quaint little courtyard. Love it.

An unexpected three month stay as repairs were done in my own home. The cottage was perfect for what I needed and helped me feel at home in an otherwise stressful time. Both hosts were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Beautiful interior and garden - it was clear that it had been a labour of love. I would highly recommend a stay here :)

Laura’s place was wonderful. She was also an accommodating host, which we really appreciated. The place was beautiful and completely spotless. We really recommend ❤️

From initial contact, through arrival, stay and departure, everything was ideal. Libby's warm welcome, the cleanliness, comfort, facilities and general atmosphere were all quiteoutstanding.

This was a perfect quiet getaway with a beautiful view, and nice/convenient kitchen and laundry amenities. Bed had a heating mattress which was nice too. It got a bit cold even with radiators, but maybe we were using them wrong… Google Maps routed us incorrectly and getting there at night it was hard to follow Jill’s given instructions, but the instructions were clear. Overall very happy with the place and its amazing value! Look forward to staying again!

It was a lovely place to stay. We hope to be back soon!

We had a fantastic stay here! The cottage is lovely and immaculate! Rhona was really proactive with communication and gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants and cafes. The location is beautiful! Just a few steps to a lovely and peaceful beach and 10 minutes walk into town. We hope to be back!

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

Clean, warm and beautiful furnished. Only issue was parking. A few spaces available otherwise it is street parking.

Lovely cottage and surroundings. Homemade bread on arrival was a nice touch. Read in earlier reviews about deer on the lawn. It's true! Would highly recommend.

Great communication from the host. The setting is stunning and the cottage itself is beautifully presented. Very clean with everything we needed for a few days stay. A fantastic home away from home. Thank you.

Painter's cottage is a lovely space, thoughtfully designed and great attention to detail. It's close to the town centre and has all the facilities on the doorstep. It is very private, up the lane and through the gates.

A great place to stay and looks as shown in photos Host was responsive and helpful. We didn’t realise it was 2 story but it was no burger to us but the steps are steep. There is no clothes dryer but we managed. Overall we would recommend others to stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Fishponds cottage. The hosts were super helpful at providing information about how to find the cottage along with helpful tips about walks in the area and how to spot wildlife. There was an abundance of birds and squirrels visiting the garden. The cottage was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need for our stay. Inside, the cottage was tastefully decorated but our favourite feature was the beautiful back garden. We were blessed with great weather and it was the perfect place for having a BBQ and for an Easter egg hunt which the kids loved. A lovely, peaceful stay and we can't wait to visit again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tracey's rural cottage. It was spotlessly clean, warm, modern, and had beautiful views.
