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.

Cottage is in centre of village. By the stream. Walking distance to Meldrum's Hotel for a lovely lunch or dinner. We were gifted a bottle of wine and a huge basket of logs to start off our stay. Very generous and much appreciated. Very comfortable beds. Well appointed bathroom. Central heating made it very cosy. It was perfect.

This cottage is in an ideal location- close enough to a lovely village to be within walking distance of pubs and shops, but tucked back a bit so that it is very quiet and secure. St. Andrews, Dundee, and Perth are a short drive away. The cottage is very sweet and cosy and the hosts are lovely.

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.
