  • Within easy reach of the home of golf at St Andrews and the wonderful Fife Coastal Path
Property code: 78228

Brimming with history and promising an abundance of walks for you and your hound, the attractive village of Ceres is an ideal destination for your Scottish adventure. Your accommodation sleeps couples or small families of four and is situated just 9.5 miles from St Andrews with its world-class golfing opportunities and fascinating ruins. Sniff out the best walks in the area and venture down to the coast to splash in the sea, embracing a holiday with a difference.

Traditionally styled with wooden floorboards underfoot and rustic furniture, the cottage is a restful retreat for you and your pup. Snuggle down on the sofas under the cosy throw with Fido at your feet and a mug of hot cocoa clasped between your hands, watching a film or simply enjoying the ambience of the wood burner. There’s a kitchen/diner fitted with ample worktop space and handy appliances for cooking all your favourite meals to enjoy around the table. On balmy evenings pour a wee dram of whisky and stargaze from the comfort of the garden whilst your waggy-tailed friend sniffs for scents around the lawn. Two bedrooms complete this single-level property along with a bathroom.

The glorious coastline of Fife is a top dog destination for embracing sandy paws, and you will soon fall in love with West Sands Beach (10.5 miles); film buffs may even recognise it from the opening scenes of ‘Chariots of Fire’. Tentsmuir Forest (14 miles) is a treat with its woodland strolls and famous Kinshaldy Beach, or head to the dense forest surrounding Benarty Hill, 20.5 miles away, and leave no stick unfetched as you ascend the pine tree-strewn slope. The views are spellbinding and offer a majestic backdrop for tucking into a well-deserved picnic.

Baltilly Cottage is a terrific place for a restful break. Comfortable and warm (a lovely woodburner!), with a sunny garden that must be nice for summer evenings, its a great base for exploring Fife. St Andrews is 15 minutes away and its close to the pretty villages on the coastline too. Ceres, a few minutes walk away, has all basic amenities (the nRead moreearby cafe is especially welcoming). I loved my week here and plan to return as soon as I next have a break! Hide

This is a lovely hideaway cottage but close to the centre of Ceres and a good jumping off point to explore North East Fife the Fife Pilgrim Way and the coastal path. The owners are nearby and very thoughtful and helpful.

The location of this characterful cottage is ideal, centrally located for exploring Fife, only 15 minutes from St Andrews. Also with easy reach of the village with a good general store, butcher and dog friendly cafe. The cottage is warm, comfortable and homely and a great place to relax.

Lovely wee cottage in a quiet location. Clean throughout comfy bed. Easy walking to local cafe and pub, I had mobility issues so found accessing the local amenities difficult but not impossible. Loved the log fire.

Our family had a fabulous week in the cottage. It was a great base to explore Fife and it was very close to St.Andrews which we loved. The house was full of character and very homely and warm. Beautiful setting and very friendly and incredibly helpful owners and neighbours. Lovely village with amenities close by.

A pleasant comfortable cottage in an attractive village with a handy Spar shop. It is a great location for exploring Fife, with the coast, woodland walks, gardens and historic sites not more than 25 minutes away.

My daughter and I had a really enjoyable, restful time at this lovely, rustic cottage. Very comfortable beds and great wood burning fire for cosy nights in. Large garden for dog to run around in was great. Owners Jane and Mark easily contactable if required and made us feel very welcome. Look forward to visiting again. Isabel and Mandy x
