About this house rental

Braid Cottage was originally created from old farm buildings in the early 1980's. Sitting in a peaceful courtyard setting it has been renovated offering modern and up to date facilities including underfloor heating and wifi while retaining a homely and cosy environment. Only a few miles from the picturesque town of St Andrews it is surrounded by arable farmland, there is also access from St Andrews to coastal walking and beautiful beaches and of course golf. The property offers off road parking (not suitable for commercial work vans or lorries) open gardens and the closest village shop is only 0.5 miles away.
On ground level Braid Cottage has an open plan kitchen and dining room with Fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine etc. The dining room seats 8. A spacious sitting room with an open fire and television, a master bedroom with shower en suite. Upstairs a further 3 double bedrooms with zip and link beds, all beds can be made into double or twin beds. and a family bathroom with over bath shower. At the front of the cottage there is an area to sit and enjoy the pretty courtyard, there is also access to all the garden areas.

Braid Cottage was terrific. Perfect for our group of 7! The host, Hilary, was the best and her homemade sourdough bread, shortbread and strawberry preserves was amazing! Hopefully, we will get a chance to stay here again!

What a fantastic, cosy holiday cottage this is! There are four spacious, super-comfortable bedrooms, a very well-designed and equipped kitchen, two beautiful bathrooms and a relaxing living area with an open fire. The standard of decor and attention to detail are superb. Hilary the owner is a pleasure to deal with and made us feel so welcome, even our dog! She left us a welcome pack of homemade shortbread and jam, eggs from her hens, and a bottle of red wine. The location is quiet, being in the countryside about 10 minutes drive from both St Andrews and Cupar. We cannot recommend this holiday getaway highly enough and hope to return there soon. Thank you Hilary!
