About this property

Forgan Cottage - newly refurbished

  • Centrally located 5 minutes walk from the town centre, Forgan Cottage has the charm of an historic cottage with all modern comforts. The cottage was built circa 1896 by the Forgan family who in the late 1800s were one of the leading golf club manufacturers based in St Andrews.
    The cottage was modernised in 2012 and has recently undergone major refurbishment in 2022 with new basement utility area, new decor, furnishings and flooring in all the bedrooms, and new flooring throughout the rest of the cottage.
    The bright living/dining area looks out onto the back garden and the path along the Kinness Burn can be accessed through the rear garden gate.
    All bedrooms have superking size beds, and can all be converted to twin beds.
    The large centrally heated basement has been fully modernised with new units and flooring this year. There is a new washing machine, tumble dryer, additional integrated fridge and freezer, wine chiller fridge and specially designed space for your dog. There is also ample space to store bikes and golf clubs.

Wonderful cottage walking distance to town.

Forgan cottage was a perfect spot to stay while visiting St. Andrews. Tricia had everything we could need ready for us! The cottage was truly spectacular- from the outside patio to the fact that we could walk into town! Next time we visit we will definitely book the Forgan cottage.

Fantastic Time At Forgan Cottage

We had a fantastic time in St. Andrews and our stay at Forgan cottage. The Graham’s are excellent hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay a very memorable one. The cottage is in an excellent location (easy walking to Attractions and Pub’s) within the town of St. Andrews. It is very nicely decorated and very comfortable as it has been totally refurbished. We are looking forward to staying at Forgan cottage during our next visit to St. Andrews.

Such a charming cottage

We had a fantastic stay in Forgan Cottage! The beds were comfortable, the decor was charming, the TV room was snug and enjoyable too. Best of all was the location - just a 5-10 minute walk to virtually all of St. Andrew's, especially fun via Louden's Close and Lad's Brae - 2 little waling paths that have a very 'secret garden' kind of feel. We absolutely loved it. Great communication and help from our host Patricia too - thank you!!

Fabulous cottage in excellent location

The property was well furnished and immaculate. The location was fabulous for all that St Andrews has to offer. Communication with Patricia the host was very good and we were even advised when the cottage was available to allow us to check in early. Cottage was well stocked and even had some Scottish treats of shortbread, teacakes and tablet. Would definitely recommend this gem of a cottage.check in early. Lovely perso(shortbread,teack
