Happywood

This substantial villa occupies part of a 65-acre country estate near Peat Inn, ten minutes from St Andrews. Built to luxury standards, Happywood sleeps ten across five bedrooms and five bathrooms, making it suited to multi-family gatherings or groups of friends marking an occasion. The whole property is yours alone, with an enclosed garden and a hot tub on site. One well-behaved pet is welcome.

Inside, the villa is fully equipped for self-catering: the kitchen lets you prepare everything from simple breakfasts to full meals, and essentials including electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all covered. A cot and highchair are available if needed. The house is non-smoking throughout.

Fife's coastline—with several award-winning beaches—is within easy reach, as are the region's castles and family attractions. The combination of private countryside space and proximity to St Andrews makes this an appealing base whether you want to settle in for the week or venture out to explore.
