Rustic Country Cottage on Eight Acres, Four Miles from St Andrews | Sleeps 4
Tucked away in the heart of the East Neuk countryside, Mill Cottage is a cosy, rustic retreat just four miles from the buzz of St Andrews. Set in a peaceful, rural location on eight acres of land, this charming two-bedroom cottage offers a true escape from the everyday — perfect for anyone looking to switch off and enjoy a slower pace.
The cottage has all the character you would expect from a traditional rural property, from its stone walls and wood-burning stove to the stable door leading out to your own garden space. It sleeps up to 4 guests across two bedrooms, with a bathroom and separate WC.
The Space
Offering 60 m² of accommodation, this is not a modern apartment — it is a simple, homely space with old-school charm that invites you to curl up with a book, light the fire and take in the sounds of nature.
Enter by a hallway which gives access to the living room and both bedrooms. The living room has a beautiful wood-burning stove, a TV and CD player with a handful of DVDs and CDs for you to use, and a dining table seating four guests. A door leads through to the kitchen.
