About this property
Duck Cottage, a pet-friendly home-from-home, minutes from the coast
Duck Cottage is a traditional stone built cottage, internally modernised and tastefully decorated to create a warm, charming base close to the restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions of Anstruther. St Andrews and the other coastal villages are only a few minutes drive, with Edinburgh just over an hour away by car. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic hideaway, outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, families looking for a rural retreat, and golfers looking to mark their cards at any one of the many premier courses, including the famous Old Course at St Andrews.
The cottage caters for the occasional Scottish rainy day as well, with free Wifi, an extensive music, film and literary library available to fill the odd moment, and a large HD TV with Freeview HD channels. A well equipped kitchen encourages gourmets to experiment with the wonderful local produce. Unlike many holiday homes, Duck Cottage welcomes well-behaved pets at no extra charge - I want your furry family members to have as good a break away as you!

My works keeps me overseas, so when I'm not here, Duck Cottage provides a happy based for couples and small families to enjoy this peaceful and picturesque corner of Scotland
Why they chose this property
I hope you find Duck Cottage a homely and comfortable place to stay. If you prefer the less personal, antiseptic, corporate holiday let, then Duck Cottage probably isn't for you! Kilrenny is very quiet too, meaning you have a proper break away from it all, interrupted perhaps only by the Kirk's bell chiming on the hour - not through the night though!
What makes this property unique
The price you pay includes everything at Duck Cottage - utlities, wifi internet, linen, towels, and no extra charges for well-behaved pets.
