Guests will find a real home from home in this warm and welcoming holiday cottage at any time of year. Inside this wing of the owners’ home and accessed by a steep gravel drive, the open plan living space is spacious and bright with cosy seating and a window seat offering panoramic views across the surrounding farm lands to St Andrews Bay, the Eden Estuary and St Andrews itself. The kitchen area with an Aga, as well as an electric cooker, is well-equipped and ideal for practising your cooking skills, or creating a special meal, with a dining table where everyone can sit together and plan the next day’s activities.
Lucklaw Steading dates back to the 18th century, former farm buildings which have been converted and renovated to a good standard; the cottage, which is all on one level, is a private wing of the main house. The Steading is set within 2 acres and there is much to explore on foot from your doorstep; woodland and hilltop walks will appeal to hikers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers alike. With all this fresh air, you will be looking forward to a good night’s sleep. Why not ease those tired limbs after a day out with a deep bubble bath, as well as the option of a shower in the four piece bathroom. The utility and boot room is shared with the owners and houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.
Ideally located for exploring this area of Fife, St Andrews can be reached within a 15-minute drive, making Lucklaw Steading Cottage perfect for if you are visiting students at the university or attending a graduation ceremony. As well as the spectacular castle and cathedral ruins, sandy beaches and pretty harbour, there is much to explore in this historic city, with galleries, cinema, quality places to eat and local and independent shops. St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the home of golf, with seven courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust, and there are many local courses within easy driving distance for guests wanting to enjoy golf in the area.
The traditional market town of Cupar, which sits on the banks of the River Eden, has much to offer and is fascinating to walk around, with plenty of places to eat, and a particularly good selection of independent shops. For families the area also has the Scottish Deer Centre, an aquarium at St Andrews and award-winning sandy beaches and forest walks at Tentsmuir, just a short drive away. Across the Tay Bridge, Dundee has lots to offer for a day out, including the V&A with its dramatic waterfront setting and the historic ship ’Discovery’, and is well worth a visit. The Olympia Leisure Centre has a swimming pool, which is great for entertaining the kids on wet days. The East Neuk of Fife has spectacular coastline with picturesque fishing villages built around old harbours and unspoilt beaches. Following the coastal path offers a scenic walk with plenty of places to stop off and visit. Beach 9 miles. Shop 3½ miles, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

A fantastic hide away in Scotland! What a fantastic and lovingly furnished and cared for cottage! Leena and Andrew are truly the perfect hosts, friendly, interested, bold, non-intrusive and very hospitable to us and our dogs. After the corona lockdown it was wonderful to stay here for 3 weeks in July and August. The view from the house and garden is wonderful. The cottage is warm, well maintained and fully furnished. As highly experienced vacationers in holiday homes, this is by far the best address we have ever come across. Everything has been thought of! The area is an absolute must for those seeking tranquility in this beautiful part of Scotland. The views and the landscapes are simply breathtaking. We really enjoyed ourselves here and would certainly love to come back! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

If you're after peace and quiet in a secluded spot within a wonderful landscape this is it.
If you're after peace and quiet in a secluded spot within a wonderful landscape this is it. We had horse-riders pass our windows, as did deer and rabbits. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and the wide range of local walks. Andrew and Leena think of everything, including extra facilities for our handicapped daughter. Her scones and jam too, are unmissable. We spent a joyous two weeks in total R & R

Probably the best holiday let we have ever experienced over many years of experience. The location is outstanding with views to the coast and St Andrews. The owners were very welcoming and provided us with a range of local foods. The quality of accommodation was spacious and of the highest order and there was a wide range of equipment provided. There were a number of local walks which could be taken directly from the cottage. The towns of St Andrews, Dundee, Cupar and the fishing villages of the East Neuk of Fife were all within short driving distances. There was also a wide range of restaurants and coffee shops in the area. Hope to return again.

We spent 10 days at the cottage with our young family and it is one of the best holidays we have ever had. The cottage is extremely comfortable, well-equipped and peaceful. The location not only affords fantastic views but is very well placed for exploring the local area, with St Andrews, Dundee, Cupar and masses of outdoor spots within easy reach. What really stands out is the thoughtfulness of the owners, Andrew and Leena, who were very welcoming and helpful while remaining unobtrusive - a tricky balance to pull off! Thank you both, we will be back.

Stunning cottage, stunning view.
Stunning cottage, stunning view. Nothing was too much for the owners, they assisted where needed but stayed away too. Great recommendation for a Bacon Sandwich given too! Everything you need is there, the attention to detail is fantastic, even providing binoculars to enjoy the views. Thank you Andrew and Lena for your hospitality, we enjoyed our stay immensely.

What a find.
What a find. This cottage is truly the best home from home we have ever stayed in. The Cottage was equipped to the highest standard Where the Hosts (Leena & Andrew) provided all of the equipment that we needed Bedding, Towels, and everything you could have thought about in the kitchen Including an AGA. The decor was clean, light and bright and had a lovely homely feel throughout. From the elevated position the views from the Property and outside are Stunning. There are quite a few walks from the Cottage which our Dog thoroughly enjoyed. The Location of the Cottage gives you great access to St Andrews, Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem, Cupar Dundee and Edinburgh as well as the beaches at St Andrews and Tentsmuir> To Sum it up We've stayed in properties across the U.K. and I don't think we've ever found anywhere that comes close to this gem, you can’t fail to have a good break here.

Beautiful surroundings with a gorgeous flower garden to sit in.
Beautiful surroundings with a gorgeous flower garden to sit in. Full of butterflies and bees. Quite stunning actually with the brightest colours imaginable. Our dog was made to feel very welcome as we were. Andrew and Leena are the perfect hosts. The week went very quickly. I loved the Aga, the comfortable sofa and armchairs, views from the window down to St. Andrew's bay, fresh floral displays in the kitchen and lounge. A home from home indeed!

We had a wonderful week at Lucklaw Steading Cottage. The cottage was very well equipped. The location between St Andrews and Dundee gave us plenty of opportunity to venture in many directions on foot, by car and by bus. It is also possible to follow walks from the front door of the cottage. We couldn't have asked for better weather which always helps.
