Private Beach Access - Dumbarnie Golf - Beautiful 2 B/Rm Cottage - Pet Friendly

The Old Stables at Strathairly Cottage offers luxury self-catering accommodation, sleeping 4 adults in a secluded coastal spot just outside the village of Upper Largo, gateway to the East Neuk of Fife. Fabulous enclosed gardens and access to beach.
Situated in a peaceful coastal spot within walking distance of the villages of Lower Largo and Upper Largo and with direct access to Largo Beach across an adjacent field, The Old Stables offers flexible accommodation for up to 4 adults over 2 floors. The cottage is located at the end of a long private drive within approximately 2.5 acres of the owner’s gardens and is surrounded by arable farmland with no traffic to disturb the tranquillity.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a large dining kitchen, living room with wood burner and patio doors to private patio and enclosed south facing garden looking towards the coast. In addition, there is a utility room with washer and dryer and downstairs toilet on the ground floor. On the upper floor there is a master room with king size bed and en-suite shower room. The second double bedroom can be configured as a twin room or double with king size bed. On the landing there is a family bathroom with over bath shower.
Additionally there is storage for push bikes.
Outside there is ample parking to the front of the property. To the rear there is a patio area with dining table and large fully enclosed south facing garden laid primarily to lawn – perfect for children and/or dogs – which looks towards the Firth of Forth. From the property there is direct access across the adjacent field to the Fife Coastal Path/Cycle Path and the stunning secluded beach which is a short walk of about 400m from the Cottage. From the Fife Coastal Path the village of Lower Largo is within easy walking distance and the other villages of the East Neuk can be accessed by foot or on bicycle.
15 minutes from St Andrews and within easy reach of over 20 golf courses, this means The Old Stables is a perfect spot for a golfing holiday - the new Dumbarnie Links Course is only 5 mins away.
Local restaurants include various Michelin Star options (The Cellar, Peat Inn, Craig Millar etc)The Dory Bistro, many fine local pubs/restaurants and the award-winning Anstruther Fish & Chip Restaurant (awesome).

The lovely quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk such as Pittenweem (with its renowned arts festival), Anstruther, St. Monans and Crail, several good beaches at Elie and St. Andrews and the vast open spaces of the Lomond Hills are all within easy reach. In terms of visitor attractions, the area is well served by a number of National Trust for Scotland properties including Kellie Castle, Falkland Palace and Mansion Hill of Tarvit and there are some excellent restaurants and bars nearby.
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.
