Property code: OC-88420

With panoramic countryside views and inclusive open-plan living, this contemporary lodge offers friends or family, along with one or two canine companions, the perfect base for exploring the coast and country of Fife. Set within a working farm, wander around the grounds, meet the animals, and picnic in Willies Wood.

Experience modern living in this charming lodge. Wood-clad on the outside, the interiors are anything but rustic. Bright and airy, light floods in from floor-to-ceiling windows that captivate the eye thanks to the gorgeous countryside beyond. Relax on the sofas in front of the gas fire that your furry friends are sure to love too, or gather around the dining table for a family meal accompanied by views to die for. There is a fully fitted modern kitchen along with an island with a breakfast bar. Three inviting bedrooms await (two zip-and-link twins and a double); whether you sleep in a bed or a basket, a good night's sleep will be had by all in this quiet rural location. Outside, cook up some of Fido's favourite sausages on the gas BBQ and as dusk arrives, settle down on the enclosed decked area for some al fresco dining against the magnificent backdrop of rolling hills and wooded valleys. There’s also a children’s play area and a sunken trampoline on-site.

Picturesque walks begin at your door, or you can pay a visit to the farm’s woodland, which is full of interesting sights, sounds and smells for Rover to investigate. Located less than a mile away, down the farm track, there's a pub and a well-stocked local shop for any last-minute essentials. The beautiful university city of St Andrews, home of UK golf, is less than 10 miles west and for a dog-friendly day out a the seaside, visit West Sands Beach (7.5 miles), where four-legged friends are welcome to bound around on this sweeping shoreline year-round.

The lodge is cosy, clean, comfortable, plenty of hot water and well equipped with stunning views from every window. A great base to explore Fife. Stephen was very helpful.

A fantastic place, the view from the deck out onto St Andrews is amazing and one we will miss seeing. Its really close to Tentsmuir beach which is a great place to spend a day. The eco lodges are built solidly and keep the heat in! The facilities are great, beds are nice and comfy and the bathrooms/showers are big. The supplied cooking equipment meRead moreans you can cook whatever you want without having to bring your own stuff. If you want a nice quiet place to spend a week, this is the place to go. Hide
