Fantastic house!

We loved our stay at the Factor House in St Andrews. The house was on an amazing farm. Very quick drive to town or a nice walk. The hosts were wonderful and communicative. I highly recommend!!

The perfect family getaway in beautiful St Andrews.

We all absolutely loved our stay from start to finish. Seemless booking/check in. The welcome package was an absolute treat for the Balgove Larder. Such a joy to watch the pheasants and deer in the garden. We will certainly be back. Thank you so much for everything - Faultless 10/10

Stunning House

Wonderful house, perfect for our family in preparation for our daughter's wedding. Kitchen is excellent, lots of extra room in the utility for kit/boots etc. it is about 1000metres from road on a dirt track so a little care needed but that aside no issues. The welcome pack was also very good and a real treat so many thanks.

Loved our stay at the Factor's House

I highly recommend the Factor's House when traveling with family and friends. We had 10 (5 couples) in our group. The home and property are beautiful, spacious, and clean and only minutes from the Old Course, St. Andrews and other nearby towns and villages. When we arrived we were welcomed with fresh meats and eggs from the nearby (and equally awesome) Balgove Larder. Checking in and out instructions were simple and clear.

Remote and quiet

A lovely house with large rooms. The house was always warm and the kitchen was the heart of the place. Good facilities in general. The lounge furniture could do with updating, we all found the settees uncomfortable. There was lots of wildlife however, very large spiders and lots of flies. The track up to the house was bumpy and full of potholes. It’s remote location made the place beautiful and quiet, nothing to disturb you at night. It is close to St Andrews, just 6 mins drive or a pleasant walk. Overall it was excellent with some room for improvement.

Mrs

Lovely property with plenty of space for a large family celebration. Apart from a kitchen sink broken by previous occupant all facilities worked well. But I think the state of the road leading to the property needs updating. Very potholed causing a few back problems. Also as the majority of our party were older taking the rubbish to the gate was not possible without wheelie bins.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Jun, 2023
Thank you for this review. Once again apologies for the broken sink but this was only discovered on the departure of the previous guest and there was no time to have a replacement fitted. A new sink is now in place. The access road is an estate track and described as such. It serves a number of estate properties. It needs to be driven with care but having driven it myself, following your comments, I did not find it to be "potholed". The Estate are determined to avoid being part of the relentless advance of wheelie bins in the rural landscape. Kind regards David Fife Cottages

Fife Cottages Makes Our Stay in St. Andrews Exceptional

Stayed 5 days and 4 nights at Factor’s House. Exceptionally well maintained and was a great layout for us. We were a party of 6, 3 Dads with their sons who just graduated. Although we were just 6, the house easily would handle 10. The kitchen is great for morning pre-golf breakfasts. Living room was A for an end of evening Scotch. With three bathrooms, two of which had great showers, getting ready in the morning was easy. The water was always hot!! Great room beside the kitchen for storing the clubs and for beers in the second fridge. Although we drove most times, the walk into town was very doable. There is a walking path at the end of the entry drive that goes straight to town. Overall exceptional experience and I know where we will be staying next time in St. Andrews!

Lovely country house located near St Andrews

We spent a fantastic Christmas at this beautiful country house. It is well decorated, a cosy sitting room with a fireplace, spacious, well-equipped kitchen, nice touches including bread, milk and lovely treats from the nearby farm shop. Fife Cottage and the housekeeper both provided quick communication. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Lovely old traditional property on the outskirts of St Andrews

Very charming property with plenty of room to spread out. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Loved the well equipped pretty kitchen with the warm aga. The property is at the end of a very long driveway and is very quiet and secluded yet literally a 4 minute drive into town. We appreciated the nice welcoming touches left for us on arrival. Communication was great. We would recommend this property.

This is a wonderful home away from home. The property is stunning and we will be back!

The Factor's House is a perfect location for those traveling to St Andrews. The bedrooms are spacious and well appointed; the living area is cozy and inviting ;and the heat works!! I would recommend this property to anyone coming, either as a family or a group of friends. Every step of the process was easy and the property manager was available within minutes for the answer to any question.
