Lucklaw Steading dates back to the 18th century, former farm buildings which have been converted and renovated to a good standard; the cottage, which is all on one level, is a private wing of the main house. The Steading is set within 2 acres and there is much to explore on foot from your doorstep; woodland and hilltop walks will appeal to hikers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers alike. With all this fresh air, you will be looking forward to a good night’s sleep. Why not ease those tired limbs after a day out with a deep bubble bath, as well as the option of a shower in the four piece bathroom. The utility and boot room is shared with the owners and houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Ideally located for exploring this area of Fife, St Andrews can be reached within a 15-minute drive, making Lucklaw Steading Cottage perfect for if you are visiting students at the university or attending a graduation ceremony. As well as the spectacular castle and cathedral ruins, sandy beaches and pretty harbour, there is much to explore in this historic city, with galleries, cinema, quality places to eat and local and independent shops. St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the home of golf, with seven courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust, and there are many local courses within easy driving distance for guests wanting to enjoy golf in the area.

The traditional market town of Cupar, which sits on the banks of the River Eden, has much to offer and is fascinating to walk around, with plenty of places to eat, and a particularly good selection of independent shops. For families the area also has the Scottish Deer Centre, an aquarium at St Andrews and award-winning sandy beaches and forest walks at Tentsmuir, just a short drive away. Across the Tay Bridge, Dundee has lots to offer for a day out, including the V&A with its dramatic waterfront setting and the historic ship ’Discovery’, and is well worth a visit. The Olympia Leisure Centre has a swimming pool, which is great for entertaining the kids on wet days. The East Neuk of Fife has spectacular coastline with picturesque fishing villages built around old harbours and unspoilt beaches. Following the coastal path offers a scenic walk with plenty of places to stop off and visit. Beach 9 miles. Shop 3½ miles, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

I can’t recommend this lovely house enough! The owners took every care and attention to make our stay very comfortable. They sent us a lovely email before our stay and dropped by to settle us in. The house has wonderful views and is a good proximity to St Andrews (though without the higher rental prices charged centrally). The owners left us a lovely welcome pack with yummy scones and jam and coffee. The house is spacious and has some outdoor space and great for walking. We didn’t want to leave!

This a very spacious, clean and well equipped cottage. The views from every window are lovely, particularly the view down to St Andrews, and if you have a dog the walks right from the door are fantastic. Lucklaw hill is a lovely gentle climb which rewards you with great views. Behind the house is a large field where our dog loved playing with her ball. It is so quiet and peaceful you can't help but relax. Don't have any concerns about the proximity of the hosts because you won't know they are there and they are very welcoming. We have stayed in many holiday cottages,very few we would book again but this is definitely one we will return to.
