Property information

East Cottage is 5 mins drive to St Andrews and boasts a wood burning stove-fired hot tub. The 2 bedroom cottage has a spacious living/kitchen area with bifold doors out to the large dog-friendly garden. One bathroom with doubled-ended bath and shower. Comfortably sleeps 4 in two bedrooms. Free parking for 2 cars. Suitable for families, holiday-makers and golfers alike. 5/10 mins drive into St Andrews. Free Wifi in the property. The property has it's own entrance on the ground floor and ample on-street free parking directly outside. The accommodation layouts are as follows: Ground Floor - 1 superking bedroom with storage, 1 twin room that can be made up as a double or twins. Bathroom. Living area/kitchen has bifold doors out to the garden as well as a stable door out to the garden. The outhouse is in the garden and has a 3 seat electric Lazyboy sofa. The TV has Netflix and a PS4. **Please note if the weather is particularly harsh and has been raining constantly, this outhouse will be out of action as the water table creeps up to the floor level** Hot Tub - please note there is an extra charge if you wish to use the wood-fired hot tub - please see the Add Ons section to purchase this extra. There is a lot of preparation involved and we provide a hot tub package which includes robes, wood, hot tub filling (90 mins) and fire setup. The hot tub will take around 2/3 hours to reach full temperature and does get very hot, so please be very careful. Guests will have full access to the entire property (with the exception of hot tub if not booked). No rooms will be off limits and all contents within the cottage including the outhouse are there for our guests use including wifi, the TV and the cooking implements. Smoking is not permitted within the property. I expect all guests to respect the property and our neighbours. Dogs are welcome however an additional dog charge will be applied.
