“This historic country house, set within impressive gardens, struck me as particularly well-suited to families and those traveling with dogs. The focus on local produce and personalized service, alongside unique accommodations, suggests a genuine commitment to guest experience. I think its slightly removed location provides a tranquil base while still allowing convenient access to St Andrews.”
