The perfect cottage

November 2019

Great venue for a family get-together. Fantastically well equipped and ideally situated. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

November 2023

Lovely stay at Kiness Cottage. The location is great and the home was in great shape! We will definitely stay here on our next trip to visit our daughter.

October 2019

We got married in St Andrews (having been students here) and the house was the perfect base for the bridal party. It was just what we were looking for – the modern extension is light and bright and was great for doing hair and make up on the morning of the wedding. All the rooms were really nice and the house felt fresh and sparkly clean. We’ll treasure great memories in this property. My 16 month old nephew also stayed and a cot and high chair was provided which was super helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

All 4 couples were delighted with everything, we had a great evening in the walled garden making full use of the barbeque and outdoor furnichure, the rooms were all perfect, everything clean an well equiped. Location was spot on and great for parking which isn’t easy in the area. All in all it was perfect for us and between us we’re probably not the easiest to please! We’d thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Thank you, made our week.

We travelled with 7 people to our son’s graduation. The location was ideal as we could reach everything on foot (university building, restaurants, beach, theatre). We also cooked a lot and found everything we needed for 7 people. The evenings in the living/dining room were cosy, as was the entire house. We would like to come back.
