The family shower room has a large walk-in shower and is on the mezzanine level, half way up the stairs.

Perfect cottage, warm, clean and well equipped. Plenty of walks from the door for our four legged friends and a fabulous historic village with good local amenities a short walk away. It’s also very well placed for trips to other locations eg St Andrews’ beaches and the V&A at Dundee. We loved it so much I booked another stay for hubby’s birthday!

I enjoyed staying at Coachman’s Cottage. It’s spacious and comfortably furnished, with good central heating/hot water. It also has a log burner, which I didn’t use. There was no doormat at either door (I bought one to put inside the back door) which we used regularly, as the parking space is at the back. There are steps up to the rear patio/garden, across to the back door. Unfortunately, the outside light didn’t work here. I’d brought a torch, thankfully, as it was very dark from 5pm onwards. The cottage and surroundings were quiet and relaxing, and the estate is great for getting out in the fresh air and walking with or without dogs. We walked into the village each day for lunch or coffee, and the independent shops were great. I’d be very happy to stay at Coachman’s Cottage again.
