About this cottage rental
Kirkside Cottage is located in the historic village of Upper Largo in the picturesque East Neuk of Fife, 10 miles from the historic town of St Andrews famed for its golf and university.
Nestled in next to the historic parish church the cottage is a single storey bungalow with all rooms on the same floor and no internal steps. It is pet friendly with two dogs allowed free of charge, sleeps 4 in comfort and is finished in a modern contemporary style featuring all the equipment you will need for a comfortable holiday. There are great views of Largo Law, the highest hill in the area, which dominates Upper Largo, from the rear of the property. Bring your walking boots and climb the Law, the views are spectacular from the top, if you make it!
The village is steeped in history, close by is the historic Largo House (now sadly a ruin), once occupied by Sir Andrew Wood, famed for seeing off English raiders in the Firth of Forth during the reign of James IV. Walk up the hill out of the village, past the school and cemetery and look back to the fields behind the house to see if you can trace the canal Sir Andrew built to allow him to sail to the church, the focal point of the village on a Sunday.
The village of Upper Largo has the popular and hospitable Upper Largo Hotel, which serves great value meals at lunch and dinner 7 days a week, the hotel also has a small bar if you only want a drink. The hotel is within a 2 minute walk of the cottage.
Further afield the nearest supermarket is 3 miles away in Leven and there are a wide variety of eating places within easy striking distance, ranging from Michelin starred restaurants to award winning fish and chip shops as well as multiple quality farm shops and markets including the Bowhouse market.
Simon and Becca look forward to welcoming you to Kirkside Cottage where we are sure you will have a wonderful stay.

Such a lovely comfortable little cottage. Parking outside in bay was easy, as was the checking in process (key box). Cottage was really comfortable and spacious. Lovely extra touches like fresh flowers and the fabulous generous welcome basket were very much appreciated :-) Tv in main bedroom was great to have as an extra. Shower was nice and powerful. Kitchen very well equipped.
Great location for walks to lower largo beach and Largo Law, and just a short walk to the lovely Lower Largo Hotel for food or drinks. Really easy drives to coast / central Fife etc.
Thanks for a great stay!
