Strathairly Cottage is a charming rural property, which dates from the 1750s when it was formerly the dower house to the Strathairly Estate. The lands of Strathairly are understood to have formed a Knights Templar encampment during medieval times. The house was extended to the north in 1911 in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style to create the distinctive architectural style that exists today with the feature turret and crow stepped elevations.
Please note that the cottage is located at the far end of a 600m gravel track. We regularly drive down it in our Jazz but it does occasionally have a few potholes (which we repair on a regular basis) so please get in touch if you have any concerns or questions re the track.

Summary: We stayed for a week in this lovely cottage. We were greeted by the hosts and treated to a lovely welcome hamper. The cottage was comfortable and spotless. Everything you could need for a week away from home was there. The cottage is located on the coast, with an easy walk directly to the, mostly deserted, beach. We toured the area, visiting many of the local fishing villages. Including Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem and St Andrews. A brilliant week. Finally, the back garden is beautiful. We were lucky to have sunshine all week. The garden is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, or a glass of fuzz at the end of the day. Looking forward to retuning soon. Thank you Ross and Helen

Summary: The cottage is in a lovely location ideally placed to access all of the Fife coast and its attractions. It is so quiet yet close to the beach. We truly loved our stay and Helen and Ross could not have been better hosts. It has all the amenities you’d expect and a few extra touches. We are leaving recharged and looking forward to a return visit. Margot and Freddy (dogs) couldn’t have been happier with the enclosed garden and walks available to them.

Summary: The most relaxing trip, so quiet and secluded yet a short walk along a sandy beach to a local village with a general store and a few pubs. Would highly recommend. My partner and I took our aging dog and went on a few trips further along the coast, St Andrews only 20 minutes away and the cottage was fully stocked with everything you would need not to mention the fabulous welcome hamper. Ross & Helen are fabulous hosts and ensured we had everything we needed

Summary: After long days of study at St. Andrews, this cottage was the perfect place to unwind. The beach walks are lovely, and the area was spectacular in the late summer weather. Our dog was warmly welcomed.
