The South Lodge at Balcarres

Summary:
The property has been recently refurbished with tasteful furnishings and stylish country interiors. The finishings reflect a property steeped in history and design.
The lodge is split over 2 floors. The ground floor has an open-plan fully equipped kitchen, living, dining area with a wood-burning stove, and 1 W/C. The first floor has 1 master bedroom with an incredible free-standing copper bath that needs to be seen to be appreciated. There is a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Up to 2 guests can sleep comfortably in the bedroom consisting of 1 king bed.

The Space:
LIVING ROOM, DINING & KITCHEN
The living room consists of a comfy sofa and a luxurious art deco armchair. The wood-burning stove is there to provide you with a crackling fire after a long day exploring and enjoying all that the Scottish outdoors has to offer. The 43-inch flat-screen TV comes with Apple TV, Netflix, BBC iPlayer and Amazon Prime Video.
The kitchen area has all the necessary amenities to prepare a delectable, home-cooked meal. The kitchen includes an oven, a fridge, induction cooking hob, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, and cooking basics.
The dining table, which perfectly suits 2 people, is the perfect place to enjoy a light breakfast before beginning your day.
BEDROOM & BATHROOM
The stylishly decorated master bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, a freestanding rose copper bathtub that is perfect to enjoy a chilled glass of champagne after a long day, a chest of drawers and a linen armchair. The marble tiled bathroom is complete with an enclosed rain shower.
OUTDOOR AREA
Venture outside into the garden that leads directly to the woodlands where you can wander for hours in the beautiful countryside.
Foodies
The East Neuk boasts a burgeoning food scene, with highlights including the Bowhouse Market, the Kinneuchar Inn, David Lowry's fresh seafood, and the award-winning Ardross Farm Shop. Local towns and villages, including St Andrews, Elie, Crail and Anstruther, are home to a wide range of restaurants and traditional pubs.
Laundry and Extra Appliances:
The property is equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer, vacuum, iron, and ironing board for your convenience.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full, unrestricted access to the property and garden, including free WiFi and parking available for 2 cars.
Other things to note
*This property's internet connection is best suited for light browsing and social media but is not optimal for HD video calls or streaming.

The Neighborhood:
The Balcarres Estate around you is home to some of Scotland’s finest countryside. Walk through ancient forests; cross rolling hills with dramatic views across the Firth of Forth; or stravaig along the two miles of pristine beachfront at Largo Bay. For those passionate about their golf, the newest addition to Fife’s famous golfing coast is not to be missed: Balcarres’ world-class Dumbarnie Links recently hosted the 2021 Women’s Scottish Open.
The North Lodge is situated less than 15 minutes’ drive from the medieval town of St Andrews, seat of Scotland’s oldest university and site of romantic castle and cathedral ruins, internationally renowned golf courses, and a wide range of restaurants and traditional pubs.
Follow the song of the sea and discover the charming fishing villages strung along the coast of the East Neuk. St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail each have secrets of their own – but Elie, a mere ten-minute drive from North Lodge, is perhaps the most stunning of them all. Walk out to the iconic lighthouse and Lady’s Tower before rewarding yourself with fish and chips and a locally brewed ale at the legendary Ship Inn. Crail harbour is also worth a visit especially when the Reilly Shellfish crab shack is open.
Those fond of a dram will find plenty to like at the numerous nearby distilleries, with tours (and tastings) on offer at Eden Mill, Kingsbarns and Lindores Abbey, among others. Fife’s burgeoning independent food scene, meanwhile, includes highlights such as the Bowhouse farmer’s market, the spectacular Kinneuchar Inn – a short 6-minute drive away, but be sure to book – and the award-winning Ardross Farm Shop. All feature fresh seasonal produce from Balcarres.
