Forgan Cottage - newly refurbished

Centrally located 5 minutes walk from the town centre, Forgan Cottage has the charm of an historic cottage with all modern comforts. The cottage was built circa 1896 by the Forgan family who in the late 1800s were one of the leading golf club manufacturers based in St Andrews.
The cottage was modernised in 2012 and has recently undergone major refurbishment in 2022 with new basement utility area, new decor, furnishings and flooring in all the bedrooms, and new flooring throughout the rest of the cottage.
The bright living/dining area looks out onto the back garden and the path along the Kinness Burn can be accessed through the rear garden gate.
All bedrooms have superking size beds, and can all be converted to twin beds.
The large centrally heated basement has been fully modernised with new units and flooring this year. There is a new washing machine, tumble dryer, additional integrated fridge and freezer, wine chiller fridge and specially designed space for your dog. There is also ample space to store bikes and golf clubs.

Golfing holiday in St Andrews

We loved the property. Perfect for our group of 4 adults who were on a golfing holiday. The walk to the courses in St Andrews were reasonable and we were close to all the shops and restaurants on Market and North Street. Adequate parking and seamless checkin/checkout process. Would strongly recommend

Great location and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable beds. Lovely outdoor space with nice garden furniture. Street parking not too bad considering how close it is to the town centre. Refurbished basement is a very useful space. Nice modern bathroom with very powerful shower. Only negative for us was the kitchen being so small and having to go outside to access the basement/ freezer. However, it is a very old/ historic cottage and the owner has definitely made the absolute most of the space available.
