About this property

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.

Stunning accommodation in St Andrews

I stayed here recently for a business golf trip to St Andrews. The communication with the owner in advance of our stay was first class. She provided us with all the information we needed to check in smoothly and was quick to respond to a few questions I had. The cottage is absolutely stunning, the rooms are huge and extremely comfortable. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The huge converted basement is ideal for storage, and the garden is the perfect outdoor space to relax. The cottage is only 10 mins walk to the Old Course and the centre of town. I would highly recommend this accommodation if you are looking for a place in St Andrews. We will definitely be back. ★★★★★

Forgan cottage was perfect for our golf trip. The house is exactly as described if not better. The garden area is a particularly nice space. Really really well equipped with everything you need while on holiday. The sun even came out! Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Graham

We bought the cottage because our son and daughter both studied at St Andrews University and the town is a lovely place for either a day trip or a few nights stay as it is not too far from where we live in Glasgow.

Why they chose this property

My son and I looked at several properties but Forgan Cottage had a nice atmosphere and we could see it had potential to be a fabulous holiday home and place for him to stay when he was studying.
It is only a very short walk from the town centre but also has plenty of free parking outside. It is centrally located for either the West or East sands which was important as we have 3 dogs.

What makes this property unique

We have fully refurbished the cottage and it is extremely comfortable either in summer or winter. New central heating and continuous hot water make it a cosy place to stay even in the depths of winter. The garden at the back which has just been newly landscaped in 2019 looks onto the Kinness Burn which is a lovely feature in the summer.
We love spending time in the cottage as it has an extremely relaxing feel to it.
