Kinness Cottage

St. Andrews

Overview

Description Facilities Location Additional Info

Kinness Cottage is a stunning, renovated modern home, that still maintains a cosy, traditional feel, just a few minutes’ walk to South Street, one of the main streets in St Andrews.

You enter the property through a beautiful mature, walled front garden with a manicured lawn, equipped with a fire pit/BBQ, outdoor dining area and Croquet.

Found on the ground floor, within the original boundaries of the cottage, are two bedrooms; one double with an en-suite shower room, and another twin bedroom. There is also a master shower room.

Just along the hall, in an impressive bright and spacious extension consisting of an open plan living, diner and kitchen. The original exterior wall has been impeccably maintained. Despite the stone walls, floors and high ceiling, this room is very toasty in the colder months, equipped with underfloor heating throughout and a log burning stove nestled in the corner. The floor to ceiling doors spanning almost the entire length of the lounge open entirely on to the patio dining area.

The house is gorgeous and think this is the fifth time we have stayed here we live it. Well equiped kitchen beds amazingly comfy and the living area is lovely. The location is superb only a few minutes into town amd ten minutes walk to the old course.

Perfect for families and golfers.

We stayed for a family vacation and golfing. All the amenities were within walking distance. House was clean a lovely space to be together as a large group. The huge sliding doors into the garden was perfect for our grandson to play outside . Each adult couple had their own bathroom. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stat in Kinness Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable & warm. The wood burning stove was fab & made the place extra cosy. Kitchen was well equipped with high end quality crockery & utensils. We travelled from Glasgow to spend New Year there with family- was the perfect setting. Hosts very responsive also. Would definitely recommend & will hopefully return.

Superb property in premium location for all that St. Andrews offers. Property management responsive and attentive, Fairmont Hotel access appreciated. Property recently redone with accents of Scotland very pleasing. Clean and well heated for even picky guests. Highly recommended for up to 8 people and should be your first choice for that size group!!!
