Hot Toddy Hideaway

Set on a hillside with breathtaking views and direct access to open countryside walks, this beautifully converted stone steading is a tranquil base for couples or solo travellers looking to explore the beauty of rural Fife. Just 2 miles away, the welcoming town of Newburgh boasts local shops, cafe, pub and the fascinating Lindores Abbey Distillery – a must-visit for whisky enthusiasts.

Nature lovers can head to the Scottish Deer Centre (7 miles) to get up close to native wildlife and take peaceful walks through the parkland. History fans will appreciate a visit to Falkland Palace (8 miles), a stunning Renaissance building with royal connections and beautifully kept gardens.

If you're in the mood for a day by the sea, the medieval town of St Andrews (18 miles) is well worth the trip, and for those seeking coastal charm, the East Neuk of Fife offers a string of quaint fishing villages, hidden coves, and the scenic Fife Coastal Path. Enter this romantic retreat where comfort meets contemporary design.

On arrival, a handy cloakroom just off the entrance lobby sets the tone for a thoughtfully designed stay. Step through into the sleek open-plan kitchen, fully equipped with everything you could need, and all framed by breathtaking views across the valley.

A striking beech breakfast bar leads up into the elevated lounge and dining area, where modern finishes meet cosy comfort. Gather around the dining table for memorable meals or sink into the corner sofa by the wood burner.

A window seat invites you to curl up with a book or simply soak in the countryside views. Watch your favourite films on the Smart TV/DVD or throw open the beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows onto the enclosed private courtyard.

Upstairs, a light-filled open-plan master suite promises indulgent nights. A super-king-size zip-and-link bed (which can be arranged as twins on request) is crowned with a bespoke tweed headboard, complemented by a Smart TV, fitted wardrobe and dressing table.
