Rufflets - Burnside West Cottage

St Andrews draws golfers, students and history-seekers year-round. Rufflets - Burnside West Cottage sits within the grounds of a four-star hotel, giving guests the independence of self-catering with the option of restaurant meals and evening drinks just across the way. The cottage is entirely on one level, making it straightforward for those with mobility concerns or families with young children.

The property sleeps four across two bedrooms: a king-size bed in one room with its own shower room, and two single beds in the other. A family bathroom with bath and shower serves both. The open-plan living space has a kitchen equipped for cooking proper meals—oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine are all there—alongside a sitting area with Freeview TV. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered. Two parking spaces sit on the grounds, and there's a small front garden with seating. One well-behaved pet is welcome. The cottage is no-smoking throughout.

From here, the town centre and its golf courses, university buildings, cafes and independent shops are within easy reach. The hotel restaurant is a ten-second walk away if cooking is not in the mood. Bikes and e-bikes are available to borrow. If you're travelling with another family or group, Burnside East and Kinness Lodge are nearby on the same grounds and can be booked together.
