No 6 Pitlethie Steading
Resort overview

Sleeps 4. No 6 Pitlethie Steading is a luxury holiday home, beautifully furnished throughout offering bright, airy and modern living areas and 2 very comfortable bedrooms. The property has a beautiful corner setting with its own large garden which enjoys lovely views over farmland and quiet countryside - an ideal place for relaxing with a good book in one hand and a glass of wine in the with other! This relaxing holiday home sits on the edge of the beautiful, Tentsmuir Nature Reserve (which covers 1300 acres) and is only five miles from the famous city of St Andrews - the Home of Golf. The area holds much to interest the historian or sightseer, as well as those with more active interests, particularly golfers seeking to savour the challenges to be found at the cradle of golf. The property is perfectly situated for exploring the picturesque area between the Tay and Forth Estuaries, including the many fishing villages and beaches round the East Neuk of Fife.

Tenstmuir Forest is just 3 miles away. The adjoining Kinshaldy Beach has a well maintained picnic area with BBQ facilities. The Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve, centred around the forest, has a remarkable range of wild-life and is best know for its seals and bird life living on and around the mudflats. There are many paths and cycle tracks throughout this wonderful forest and foreshore.St Andrews has two large sandy beaches, the East Sands sitting beside the small harbour, just down the hill from the Cathedral and the much longer, West Sands, which run alongside the golf links and which formed the location for scenes in the film, 'Chariots of Fire'. Both beaches are very safe and clean. The West Sands, in particular, has extensive parking facilities running the length of the beach, sitting between the Old Course and the dunes which border the beach itself. To really enjoy all that the East of Fife has to offer, a car is the best means of transport, though Leuchars station, which is only about a mile from the property, sits on the main east coast railway line. Taxis generally await the arrival of most trains. Regular buses run through the village to Dundee and to St Andrews.

Fife is not just about golf! It has a very old history and its geography, surrounded on three sides by water, has made it of some importance throughout the centuries. Falkland Palace, in the middle of the county, was once the home of the Scottish Kings and St Andrews Cathedral was, in its day, the most important religious centre in the country. The old fishing villages round the south eastern coast retain much of their original charm and are well worth a visit.
