About this property

Modern Cottage, superb views, near St Andrews

The cottage is ideally situated in Lucklawhill, between St Andrews and Dundee, approximately 7 miles from each. The front of the house offering stunning panoramic views over the Firth of Tay and St Andrews Bay; the other side providing access to quiet woodland and country walks.
Full spacious property available comprising two large double bedrooms, modern open lounge area, dining room, well furnished kitchen, shower room and WC. Two further beds available in loft conversion if required.
North East Fife offers a great variety of pursuits for holiday makers and visitors. For golfers worldwide, St Andrews is the Home of Golf – a place they must visit at some time in their life. However, the seven public courses of St Andrews represent only a few of the many excellent courses to be found within a short ‘drive’.
Apart from golf, the ancient town of St Andrews is steeped in history, having the oldest university in Scotland, and its large medieval cathedral dating back to the 12th century.
For others, the attraction is in the miles of unspoilt beaches, woodlands and peaceful countryside , where they can fish, hike, cycle or generally just explore, freely and uninterrupted.
New Lulgate is ideally situated near the top of Lucklawhill, between St Andrews and Dundee, approximately 7 miles from each. The front of the house offering stunning panoramic views over the Firth of Tay and St Andrews Bay; the other side providing access to quiet woodland and country walks.
Although attached to the main property, the cottage sits in its own private and spacious gardens. It is completely self-contained and comfortably furnished, with all the necessities required for a self-catering holiday.
Accommodation consists of 2 large double bedrooms – each with two single beds. Each room has built in wardrobes and plenty of storage space. If really required there are two further single beds in an upstairs loft conversion - via a Ramsey ladder for the more agile!
There is a large open lounge area with gas fireplace, opening out to the conservatory with its superb views. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. There is also a separate dining room, and an area has been set out as a possible workplace for those who cannot ‘leave their work at home’. Wifi is accessible. The large shower room is well-fitted with a modern suite comprising double shower cubicle, W.C., sink and bidet, and another W.C. is also available.
Guests have full access to the cottage and the surrounding gardens.

Beautiful location.

We had a lovely week staying in your beautiful property. Gorgeous scenery from lounge as well as from the conservatory. Would recommend this as a good base for the area. Close to St Andrew's and Dundee as well as the pretty harbours along the south Fife coast.

Fantastic wee break!

We really enjoyed our stay, the property has gorgeous views and is in a great location for visiting the surrounding area. We went to St Andrews and further down the coast to the beautiful village of Crail. Gordon and Marion were excellent hosts. They went the extra mile getting us groceries on arrival and were very friendly.Thank you for a fab stay. The Smeaton family!

What a great place! I knew I was going to like this cottage, but I wasn’t prepared for just how nice the views are. Cows in a field just below the property, then farms, then the River Tay in the distance and Dundee, etc. Of the many VRBO (and other) properties I’ve stayed in over the years, Gordon was the best host I’ve encountered. Communication was always quick, and he’d left me a variety of provisions (milk, eggs, fruit, bread, etc.) ahead of my stay. He and I chatted a few times, and he had great suggestions about things to do in the area. He’s friendly and available, but not intrusive — exactly what a VRBO host should be.Absolutely nothing to complain about here. Great proximity to St Andrews, and an outstanding property. Highly, highly recommended. I’ll be back, no question.

Beautiful views, fantastic hosts

The property was quiet, secluded and very cosy. It had everything we needed plus a few extra treats we didn't expect. The hosts were lovely. Gordon greeted us and Marion wished my partner a happy birthday then Gordon showed us around and had a lovely chat. We had issues with our vehicle on the day of leaving and Gordon was very accommodating and treated us to an interesting discussion where we got to hear stories of his life. 5 stars for everything, we will definitely be staying again and we can't wait.

Comfortable home, beautiful view, gracious hosts

The home was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well equipped. We appreciated having a few things for breakfast. Quiet area with spectacular views. Convenient location for visiting St. Andrews and nearby areas. We hiked on the nearby path. Hosts were welcoming and kind. They made sure we had what we needed and answered our questions about the area. We enjoyed visiting with them. We were absolutely thrilled that Gordon took the time to share his insider information about St. Andrews Golf Club. We would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular Scotland countryside residence

OMG....From the moment we walked through the front door it felt like our home away from home. The views are to die for and the peace and tranquility is unmatched. The hosts have seen that everthing you could need is already there. A full kitchen, huge TV, gas fireplace, central heating, remodeled master bathroom, a seasonal patio overlooking the valley, comfortable beds, wi-fi and much more are just a few of the nice touches. Our hosts even provided some staple foods (bread, butter, eggs, cheese, bottle of wine), just to get us started. We didnt want to leave on the last day but certainly would someday want to return. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all in Scotland this is it. Its also within miles of shops, restaurants, and about 6 miles away from St Andrews old course, amongst others for the golfing enthusiasts. Dont go to this area without giving this rental a chance. Its very fairly priced for the quality and style and your hosts are two of the nicest people you will ever come across.

Lovely welcome from Gordon and the welcome pack was phenomenal. The kitchen was also very well stocked which was greatly appreciated. We had our dog with us and although the garden wasn't fully enclosed it was a really good large space for our dog to explore. The views from the garden room are just amazing - lovely to sit here with a morning coffee.

Very friendly host. Very welcoming with lovely things to eat. Beautiful view. We loved the house although it was a little bit old and broken in a few parts. It could be cleaner with the spider webs and so on. We loved it any way.

PERFECT PEACEFUL GETAWAY.

Excellent property with all you need for a peaceful break.Lovely views and great facilities.Communication with owners is great and we had all the details needed to easily find the place and make ourself at home for the couple days.So quiet and just enough out the way to feel away from it all but not miles into the hills.We were also greated with a bottle of wine along with milk cheese and breads, that was very kind of the owners to do.Would recommend this place to friends and family, and definitely book again..
