The Barracks @ East Neuk Orchards
The Barracks is on our farm in Arncroach. It's a stone building, semi-detached with the other holiday cottage next door. It's got a red pantile roof. You get your own garden and patio. The view from the front is over fields down to the sea.
It sleeps eight. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means it's comfortable and well-equipped. The history is interesting. The ground floor is old, from before 1750. It was extended up later. It was used to billet officers during the war. There's an open fire in the living room. Some of the fittings, like the fireplace upstairs and the toilet fittings, were rescued from old houses nearby. It's a warm, solid sort of place.
The ceilings are a normal height but the doorways can be a bit low in places. Just mind your head.
You're welcome to walk around the farm grounds, but wear proper boots as there aren't paths. It's quiet here. For a proper walk, Kellie Castle and its gardens are about a mile and a half away. They have a tea room. The local reservoir, Gillingshill, is good for watching birds.
The coast is about five miles. Pittenweem is a fishing village, four miles away. You can watch the boats come in and buy fish. Anstruther is a bit further along. The Fife Coastal Path connects all the old villages and coves if you like walking by the sea.
St Andrews is a twenty-minute drive. It's a historic town with shops, cafes, and the golf. The beach is sandy.
Facilities: it has the things you'd need. Washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, TV. Bedding and towels are included. Parking is right outside. You can bring two dogs. We provide a cot and highchair.
Useful links for planning: National Trust for Scotland - Kellie Castle and St Andrews Links for golf.
