SITUATION
Ailnach and Rose Cottage are set in an idyllic semi-rural situation on the edge of the sought after village of Craigrothie to the south of Cupar in Fife. Craigrothie has a primary school, village hall and a bus service with regular connections to St Andrews, Cupar and Kirkcaldy. The thriving village of Ceres is a short distance to the east and provides a good range of local shops, services and amenities together with a primary school. A wider offering is on hand just a 5 minute drive to the north in Cupar, Fife’s bustling country market town, whilst a short distance to the east lies the ancient and historic University town of St Andrews known worldwide as the “Home of Golf” with its wonderful mix of shops, restaurants and facilities. To the north are the cities of Dundee and Perth which are both well within comfortable driving distance and provide for all key city amenities. Edinburgh is about a 45 minute drive to the south.
Surrounding Craigrothie is some outstanding Fife countryside which comprises a wonderful mix of fertile farmland, woodland, hill, stunning coastline and river. The area offers home to an array of wildlife and for the outdoor enthusiast provides a wide range of recreational pursuits including riding, cycling, walking and sailing and golf with many highly rated course within easy reach including the courses at Crail, Kingsbarns, St Andrews Bay, Elie, Leven, Lundin Links, Ladybank and the numerous fine course in and around St Andrews with the Old Course regularly hosting the British Open – the next visit to St Andrews is scheduled for this summer for the event’s 150th Anniversary. Ailnach and Rose Cottage are well placed for accessing the various pretty fishing villages of Fife’s East Neuk and in terms of days out the wide open spaces of the Lomond Hills are not far away along with a number of popular National Trust for Scotland properties including the nearby Hill of Tarvit, Kellie Castle and Falkland Palace. Fife’s beautiful and varied coastline includes several good sandy beaches such as those at Kingbarns, Tentsmuir, Crail, Elie and St Andrews. There are railway stations at Cupar, Ladybank, Leuchars, Markinch and Kirkcaldy with Edinburgh airport about 45 minutes to the south. The regional airport at Dundee offers a selection of short haul flights.
