Boarhills Cottage | Peaceful 2-Bedroom Cottage 4 miles along the coast from St. Andrews.

2 Bedroom Cottage in Boarhills, St Andrews

Nestled between St Andrews (4 miles) & Kingsbarns (2.5miles) ; a vintage cottage is tucked away in a quiet hamlet near the sea. Boasting 2 bedrooms with
king-size beds (second bedroom can alternatively be made up for you as a twin), woodburning stove, countryside views and a large sunny garden. Step out of your front door onto the famous Fife Coastal Path and you will find miles of coastline, hidden coves and secret beaches to walk along. The perfect base for exploring St Andrews, East Neuk and beyond. Pet-free, smoke-free and family friendly; a warm welcome awaits you!
The space:
Step back in time.... A quirky Mid-Century holiday home in a sleepy bygone farming hamlet.... You will find two relaxing bedrooms - both with hotel quality beds, pure cotton linens and towels. An arty sitting room with woodburning stove and logs (plus free unlimited SUPERFAST wifi, smart tv, BBC, Netflix). A sunny old-fashioned kitchen with separate dining room. And best of all: beautiful views from the windows!
Only a half mile ramble along a farm track to a hidden beach... Dabble in the sea, explore rock pools and climb awesome rock formations. Or enjoy hiking in either direction of the spectacular Fife Coastal Path past the most famous golf courses in the world!
Ideally positioned to explore all the vibrancy St Andrews town has to offer aswell as the hustle and bustle of the quaint string of East Neuk fishing villages (Kingsbarns, Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans, Elie) - either by car or hourly bus.
Relax afterwards in the bright garden filled with flowers, birdsong, sun loungers and a hammock. For evenings too; a BBQ and a firepit with uninterrupted sunshine all the way till sunset!!
Guest access:
You can offload your car on the roadside below the cottage..... Free longterm on-street parking is about a one minutes walk away in the centre of the hamlet.
Our semi-detached cottage is in an elevated position..... There is a flight of 10 steps up from the road, a shared path through narrow gates and another set of steps to get your luggage to the front door (see last three photos).
Other things to note:
The shower has sloping headroom on one side and the bath is 3/4 size.
There are no electric charging points for electric vehicles nearby. The closest ones are 4miles away in St Andrews. We advise overseas guests to hire a petrol or diesel car for their stay in Scotland.
The home is adherent to holiday letting regulations including having interlinked smoke alarms. And now has a newly installed eco-friendly heat pump, battery and solar panels.

Summary: We’ve stayed in several VRBO, and this property ranked highest for host support. Miranda made us very welcome and was quick to answer all our questions. We traveled from the U.S. and this was our first time driving ourselves around the U.K. We were nervous about staying in a small hamlet that seemed to be far from a city, but we were wrong. The location was fantastic and quite simple to navigate. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We especially enjoyed taking walks along the coast. We even braved the track along the Fife Coastal Path all the way into St. Andrews, and we are new to hiking. We certainly plan to return for future visits!
