Modern Cottage, superb views, near St Andrews

The cottage is ideally situated in Lucklawhill, between St Andrews and Dundee, approximately 7 miles from each. The front of the house offering stunning panoramic views over the Firth of Tay and St Andrews Bay; the other side providing access to quiet woodland and country walks.
Full spacious property available comprising two large double bedrooms, modern open lounge area, dining room, well furnished kitchen, shower room and WC. Two further beds available in loft conversion if required.
North East Fife offers a great variety of pursuits for holiday makers and visitors. For golfers worldwide, St Andrews is the Home of Golf – a place they must visit at some time in their life. However, the seven public courses of St Andrews represent only a few of the many excellent courses to be found within a short ‘drive’.
Apart from golf, the ancient town of St Andrews is steeped in history, having the oldest university in Scotland, and its large medieval cathedral dating back to the 12th century.
For others, the attraction is in the miles of unspoilt beaches, woodlands and peaceful countryside , where they can fish, hike, cycle or generally just explore, freely and uninterrupted.
New Lulgate is ideally situated near the top of Lucklawhill, between St Andrews and Dundee, approximately 7 miles from each. The front of the house offering stunning panoramic views over the Firth of Tay and St Andrews Bay; the other side providing access to quiet woodland and country walks.
Although attached to the main property, the cottage sits in its own private and spacious gardens. It is completely self-contained and comfortably furnished, with all the necessities required for a self-catering holiday.
Accommodation consists of 2 large double bedrooms – each with two single beds. Each room has built in wardrobes and plenty of storage space. If really required there are two further single beds in an upstairs loft conversion - via a Ramsey ladder for the more agile!
There is a large open lounge area with gas fireplace, opening out to the conservatory with its superb views. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. There is also a separate dining room, and an area has been set out as a possible workplace for those who cannot ‘leave their work at home’. Wifi is accessible. The large shower room is well-fitted with a modern suite comprising double shower cubicle, W.C., sink and bidet, and another W.C. is also available.
Guests have full access to the cottage and the surrounding gardens.

Spectacular Scotland countryside residence
OMG....From the moment we walked through the front door it felt like our home away from home. The views are to die for and the peace and tranquility is unmatched. The hosts have seen that everthing you could need is already there. A full kitchen, huge TV, gas fireplace, central heating, remodeled master bathroom, a seasonal patio overlooking the valley, comfortable beds, wi-fi and much more are just a few of the nice touches. Our hosts even provided some staple foods (bread, butter, eggs, cheese, bottle of wine), just to get us started. We didnt want to leave on the last day but certainly would someday want to return. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all in Scotland this is it. Its also within miles of shops, restaurants, and about 6 miles away from St Andrews old course, amongst others for the golfing enthusiasts. Dont go to this area without giving this rental a chance. Its very fairly priced for the quality and style and your hosts are two of the nicest people you will ever come across.

We had a lovely stay here, the hosts were lovely and very helpful and friendly. Property has lovely views and location is very handy for St Andrews and Cupar where we spent a lot of time doing lots of different things and visiting the many attractions around the area. The only thing we would say is that the outside garden area was not suitable/sate for our granddaughter due to steep incline she could very easily have gone over a high drop. That said we were out most days and not home to use the space much and it would not deter us from booking again. We would definitely consider going back again

Amazing experience!
A lovely property with a stunning view! All sorts of experiences from 30 minutes to 2 hours away. We enjoyed golf, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Saint Andrews, Dunnottar Castle and more. Fully equipped kitchen made at home meals easy with grocery nearby. Outdoor fire pit was warm and welcoming at night. Gordon is a gracious and helpful host … the his “pet” pheasant very cool to see so close up! Highly recommend this rental to all.

Wonderful!!
We had the absolute best stay here! Gorgeous views! Comfortable home with everything you need! They even stocked essential groceries so we didn’t have to rush to the grocery store. It was so nice and peaceful to stay here, cook, and enjoy the beauty of St Andrew’s after a long day on the golf course. Highly recommend and plan to return on day! Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Wonderful week
We spent a great week in this lovely house. Communication from the owners was superb and they were welcoming and considerate - living next door they were on hand and supportive without ever intruding on our time or privacy. Wonderful selection of items in the kitchen and fridge to welcome us on arrival. Extraordinary views from the property. Good access to the local towns and area, and walks out of the door. The roads nearby are minor and require a little care, but nothing unusual. Brilliant space in the house, the only difficulty being the access to the loft space which is tricky and would not suit all guests. But it was great for us and we would love to return!

Beautiful views, fantastic hosts
The property was quiet, secluded and very cosy. It had everything we needed plus a few extra treats we didn't expect. The hosts were lovely. Gordon greeted us and Marion wished my partner a happy birthday then Gordon showed us around and had a lovely chat. We had issues with our vehicle on the day of leaving and Gordon was very accommodating and treated us to an interesting discussion where we got to hear stories of his life. 5 stars for everything, we will definitely be staying again and we can't wait.

Idyllic Winter Getaway
An underrated property that offers breathtaking views and a cosy convenient getaway in the wintertime. We enjoyed the panoramic vistas while we sipped our coffees in the morning, and a cup of hot chocolate around the firepit with the sunset. I almost hesitate to write a review because this stay was such a hidden gem it is torture to spill the beans!! Will certainly be back!

Lovely Country Cottage
The cottage is a split level house with plenty of room to relax and unwind. There is a very comfortable living area on the lower level with an enclosed patio attached. There is also a separate dining room and a small dining table in the kitchen. The views of the countryside below are absolutely beautiful! There is also an outside patio area to relax on weather permitting. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and stocked with cooking utensils if you want to prepare your own meals. Our lovely hosts, Gordon and Marion were as friendly and helpful as can be. The fridge was stocked with butter, cheese, milk, a nice loaf of hearty bread, and a bottle of wine! St. Andrews and Dundee are a short drive away and Edinburgh is a 45 minute train ride from the station only 1.5 miles from the cottage. Dinner at the nearby St. Michael's Inn is a must. We will certainly stay in this beautiful place next time we are in the area. Thank you again Gordon and Marion for your hospitality!
