Nestled in the heart of historic St. Andrews, this charming eighteenth-century sandstone villa offers a delightful retreat set amidst its own mature, fully enclosed garden. Steeped in the rich history of St. Andrews, this villa boasts original features that whisper tales of centuries gone by. Constructed with stone from the castle ruins, this home holds a fascinating secret – during renovations in the seventies, a cannonball dating back to the castle siege of 1546 was unearthed from the boundary wall. Now proudly displayed in the St. Andrews Museum, it serves as a captivating reminder of the villa’s storied past.

Beyond its historical allure, the villa exudes a sense of spaciousness and elegance, with tasteful furnishings and top-quality fittings throughout. Each corner reveals a blend of old-world charm and modern comfort, inviting you to unwind and create cherished memories with loved ones.

Perfect spot in St Andrews to stay in while visiting!

We comfortably slept 6 people across the three bedrooms. Bathrooms were large and in great order. Large kitchen with washing/drying was very helpful, plus a dining room for breakfast with the group. Our favorite part of Orchard Cottage was the beautiful garden that wraps the entire house. A lovely space to enjoy a coffee and read a book! Heating worked perfectly for chilly evenings. Will definitely book again!

Orchard Cottage was a beautiful location for our family vacation in St Andrews!

Everything is walking distance making it the perfect home base for our daily adventures. Steven left very clear instructions on how everything works so we were never left wondering about anything. Also, Steven checked in with us and was responsive when we had a question. We would definitely re-book Orchard Cottage if we visit St Andrews again!

The perfect place to relax and enjoy St Andrews.

This was our fourth stay at Orchard Cottage, and each time we arrive it's like coming home. It's is warm and very comfortable, and has everything you need. The location is perfect - just a few minutes walk to the Byre Theatre, then into town where the restaurants and shops are plentiful, and also just a short walk down to the seaside.

Beautiful cottage with everything we could possibly need.

Close to the centre of St Andrews so easy walking to shops and bars. Carport was useful as on street parking is difficult during the day. Beautiful cottage with everything we could possibly need. Great quality bedding and towels.

The cottage was a beautiful home.

The cottage was a beautiful home, set in the midst of a sweet private garden. The rooms were well laid out and the furnishings very comfortable. There were also special details, including beautiful artwork. All in all it was a super peaceful setting conveniently located a very short walk from the center and the cathedral. We really enjoyed it!

I’d stay there again and probably will.

There is plenty of room and it was warm in the winter. There is street parking which we used instead of a garage. All the things you need to stay for a few days are there. Very quiet as it is a free standing house, not connected to anything.

I wish we had booked for longer!

This is a charming and well located house for visiting St Andrews. It was quiet and we particularly liked the walled cottage garden. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped. Being able to park the car in a garage was a bonus. I wish we had booked for longer!
