Baillie Scott Cottage is named after Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, the architect who designed 'Sandford Cottage' for the Valentines family in 1902. The cottage is spacious and has lovely views of the Fife countryside from all windows and is graded five star by Visit Scotland.

Downstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a king size bed, which can be split into twin beds, and one with a double bed. Both bedrooms are en-suite, one with a bath and one with a walk-in shower, both are fitted with Trevi rainwater showers.

The comfy beds have sumptuous duvets and pillows and the bedlinen is crisp white Egyptian cotton. Microfibre duvets and pillows can be supplied if required.

Upstairs you'll find a spacious open plan living space with oak beams and posts, 2 x 2 seater sofas, a comfy chair and a dining table and 4 chairs. There is also a flat screen TV and an iPod dock. The very well-equipped kitchen has an induction hob, electric oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and coffee pod machine. Downstairs in the utility room you'll find a washing machine and a freezer.

Free Superfast WiFi is available throughout your stay.

We have stayed in a smaller property here before. This time there were four of us. The two bedroom property is spacious with beautiful views and you can watch the red squirrels. The owners are friendly and provide you with everything you could possibly want.

Very comfortable property with helpful and friendly owners. The only reason for not giving a 5 for comfort is that better lighting for reading in the living area would help, as would handrails on the steps leading to the property. Both of these relate to our relatively advanced age, and we would be happy to stay there again! Overall this is a very nice property in a good location, close to Dundee, Perth, St Andrews and the East Neuk of Fife

We used the cottage as a base for a catch up with our Australian friends. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we needed and wanted. It is ideally located for exploring Dundee and St Andrews and the East Neuk of Fife. Evelyn was a super host and any messages were replied to almost immediately. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would seriously consider booking it again. ( Needs a stopper for champagne) .

We have stayed at Sandford many times and it never disappoints. All of the apartments are well equipped ( we have stayed in them all) and very comfortable. We enjoyed the log burning stove in the evenings in this chilly summer. It was great to see red the squirrels in the garden again. Our grandchildren particularly enjoyed the garden and the tree house. Ralph and Evelyn are excellent hosts.

Sandford has found a permanent place in my heart and memory. I wish I had discovered it far sooner. Such is it's peace and tranquility that every morning bird wakens the day full of song and thereby so do I.

This wasn’t our first visit, and hopefully won’t be our last. We love the location, looks, quality, comfort, the attention to detail and thoughtfulness that Evelyn and Ralph have put into everything. The apartments are solid, clean and well provisioned.

There are few places that will make you feel more welcome.

This is our second stay at Sandford. We love the location and the beautiful Arts & Crafts aesthetic of Baillie Scott Cottage. The Cottage was warm, comfortable and peaceful and it was wonderful to be surrounded by nature- we spotted a woodpecker and red squirrel from the kitchen window!

I had never booked a cottage myself before (I had stayed in cottages when other family members booked them in the past). It is a very nice cottage and very comfortable.
The furnature suits the cottage.
I really appreciated the welcome basket. as it was so good to have some bread, butter and milk when we arrived. -More than enough to sort out the following morning's breakfast.
The location is very convenient for driving into Dundee and around the Tay Bridge area.

An exquisite experience in unique accommodation. Baillie Scott cottage blends pastoral tranquility and modernity seamlessly.

We loved its proximity to quaint villages, the sea-side including St.Andrews, and the City of Dundee.

We look forward to returning.

To put it in a nutshell, Baillie Cottage is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The accommodation furnishings and layout have been done to a really high standard. The views from all the the windows of the sourrounding country side, and of sandford house itself, are just amazing. Ralph and Evelyn are such wonderful hosts who do their utmost to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Can't wait to come back !

Excellent accommodation roomy, comfortable and of a high quality. Despite it being cold outside our cottage was warm and cosy. The welcome basket of food and drink was most thoughtful. The internet connection was good and worked well for us. Our young visitors, grandchildren, enjoyed the tree house and garden space.

Everything about our stay at Sandfo country cottages was perfect. We stayed at Baillie Scott which was well equipped and had a luxury finish. It was lovely and warm with a wood burning stove, comfortable beds and modern bathrooms
Our host, Evelyn, was very warm and welcoming and we were provided with an excellent welcome basket
A wonderful stay. We will be back.

Has a wonderful long weekend stay to celebrate my fathers 80th birthday. We hired all the properties and made use of the amazing BBQ hut also.

Little touches like a welcome hamper, lovely fresh cotton towels made our stay even more wonderful.

I have made enquiries about another stay so I’ll definitely be back.

We have stayed at Sandford house several times now. It feels like a home from home. Evelyn and Ralph are lovely hosts, it is obvious they invest a great deal of time and effort into making sure your stay in their properties is superb.
Will be visiting again next year. Would certainly recommend Sandford house as an excellent base for exploring.

The apartment was everything we had hoped for, stylish, clean, spacious, light & airy and tranquil with elevated views over the countryside and courtyard garden. The woodland area at the back was great for watching the squirrels and birds. The bonus for us was staying in a house designed by Baillie Scott, which has been lovingly, sensitively and thoughtfully restored by the owners. Everything is provided for a comfortable home from home and all furniture, fixtures and fittings are to the highest standard. The weather was kind enough for us to enjoy sunny breakfasts in the private outside dining area. Parking was convenient but placed so as not to spoil the views to, of and from the house. On arrival We were welcomed by Evelyn, the owner, who showed us around and had also left a very generous welcome pack in the kitchen.
Sandford Cottages are centrally situated for visiting important towns, cities and attractions in the area.
I can’t think of anything that could have made our stay more enjoyable, except to ask if it could be transported to wherever we decide to go next?
Thank you for a memorable stay!

The cottage was in excellent condition and was spacious and felt very homely. The kitchen and bathroom were well appointed and well stocked with all the essentials. The bedding and towels were v good. It was a joy watching the squirrel in the lgardens from the lounge. We really enjoyed the welcome basket which was v good, The only negative from our point of view as we are now not as young as we were were the 3 lots of steps from the car park especially when arriving and departing with our luggage it would have been good if the was pointed out in the online details. But we had a wonderful weeks stay. Brian and Doris Fort

The property was superbly built using wood from trees in the grounds. Bedrooms both ensuite and a good size with very comfortable beds. The living area upstairs was spacious with wonderful views. The welcome hamper was good although it would have been helpful to have more in the cupboards eg cooking oil as we were self catering. The proprietor was extremely helpful and very welcoming.

As expected property was immaculate, hosts as always very welcoming and accommodating. The welcome basket is always well stocked and well received. The red squirrel entertained us. Can’t wait for our return trip next year.

The cottage was everything we expected from the on line photographs. Superbly comfortable, Evelyn and Ralph were fabulous hosts, making an exception in kindly allowing our dog to stay. The setting and location were superb, the best recycling system we’ve come across in all our our cottage holidays. All round absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend Sanford Country Cottages.

We stayed in Baillie Scott cottage for a week and had a wonderful holiday. The cottage was immaculate and we very much appreciated all of the effort and information provided related to making it Covid safe. It was a lovely space with everything we needed. Plenty of parking and lovely outside areas - we saw red squirrels and a great spotted woodpecker. Evelyn and Ralph were extremely friendly and provided good recommendations for restaurants. A real treat to stay in such a beautiful Arts and Crafts house.

The combination of delightful hosts and the excellent accommodation which we can confidently recommend to anyone was a pleasure to stay at.We had a lovely time at Sandford cottages in quality accommodation which was immaculately clean ,well equipped ,fantastic speed broadband with comfy beds with good bathrooms etc.
The added bonus of a warm welcome from the owners and a generous posh hamper added to the whole experience .On a daily basis we could watch a red squirrel and a range of birds including a woodpecker from our property and could enjoy the garden and the lovely views.

Our stay was perfect in every way. It was the second time we’d been with a gap of several years between, so our previous experience stayed with us. Our second visit did not disappoint. In fact it exceeded our expectations. The house, the holiday cottages, the architecture, the facilities and the extraordinary setting - were perfect. It is highly likely we will return.

This was our third stay in this beautiful property. Baillie Scott is spotlessly clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished and equipped. Evelyn and Ralph, the hosts, are friendly and helpful, and they provided a wonderful welcome hamper on arrival. Situated in the perfect location for visiting Dundee and the villages of the East Neuk or walking the Coastal Path. The train to Edinburgh takes just over an hour from Leuchars Station which is only a five minute drive away.
This is the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in. We will return.

I chose Sanford Country cottages purely from the information and photos on their website and I have to say this was all a reflection of our actual experience.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and well provided, a couple of minor points would be that a pair of kitchen scissors would be useful and a magnifying mirror, whether fixed in the bathroom or free-standing would help those of us who no longer have 2020 vision !

It proved to be a good base to explore the local area and seeing some red squirrels was the icing on the cake for me. It could have been the same squirrel on several occasions though !

From first arrival and the warm greeting, welcome pack of essentials and the cleanliness of this ideal accommodation, we have felt 'at home' here in the Baillie Scott Cottage. Lovely place to stay with everything you could need for a self catering stay. A few hundred meters from the main road and easy routes to Edinburgh, Dundee and St Andrews, makes this a perfect center for all activities. Great local walks on the door-step and a very short hop by car to the local village shops for those necessities. Fully recommended for your short break or longer stay. We will have stayed 3 months by the time we leave, during house hunting, purchase, move etc. and it has been a total pleasure. Complete freedom to come and go and in our opinion, probably unbeatable.

We had such a lovely stay at Baillie Scott Cottage. It was so peaceful and beautiful and it had everything you could possibly need for a baby/ toddler. The beds were so comfy and it was spotlessly clean. And we loved the welcome basket with things for breakfast - we really appreciated it as we arrived quite late!

We loved our stay at the cottages, and were so impressed with the interior. We were a bit nervous about going away during the pandemic but as soon as we arrived we could tell the cottage was cleaned to an extremely high standard. The setting is beautiful and our kids loved spotting all the birds and red squirrels. We would definitely recommend and would love to return one day.

We were upgraded to the Coach House which has been beautifully converted into the most attractive and comfortable accommodation, with much thought and attention to detail. Unquestionably five star, and immaculately clean.
We loved the situation of Sandford Country Cottages, and there are many places to visit nearby - Tentsmuir, St Andrews, the East Neuk villages, the V&A at Dundee just over the bridge. There is also a good choice of very good places to eat.
We walked a section of the Fife Coastal Path between Newport and Balmerino towards a dazzling sunset over the Tay.
Evelyn and Ralph were welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back with friends, who unfortunately couldn't travel with us this time because of Covid rules.

This was our second stay at Baillie Scott, and I’m certain we will return.

We had a wonderful week's holiday at Sandford Country Cottages, staying in Baillie Scott. Evelyn and Ralph are superb hosts and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage was perfect - stylish, luxurious, spacious, and extremely clean. There was lots to do in and around Fife with our two young children and we wouldn't hesitate to return. The kids loved the tree house in the garden, and the adults loved the new alpine style BBQ hut, where we enjoyed cooking, and eating inside the hut, a Tomahawk steak bought from a local farm shop. Thanks again, we hope to return!

We have stayed at Baillie Scott once before, and thoroughly looked forward to visiting again as we knew that we could expect every comfort and kindness during our stay. For us the location is perfect, as Sandford House is just outside Dundee where we were visiting our daughter daily. Evelyn and Ralph share with you a very gracious house that is full of creature comforts, utterly peaceful and very stress-free. This was our first stay away from home since the pandemic unfolded, and I wasn't surprised to find that the protocols in place to make these holiday homes safe for visitors are meticulous and thoughtful. We will be coming again and have already booked for next month.

We spent a month trying to find accommodation for a family weekend in east Scotland, eighteen adults, six children from ten households. This logistical problem was easily solved by Evelyn, our host at Sandford Country Cottages.
We rented four cottages, beds all round, enjoyed family meals by rearranging the furniture, crockery and glasses, and generally made it our home for three days. It was wonderful.
As I have only once stayed in a 5 Star hotel, I am not best placed to rate Baillie Scott Cottage, but I would think 4.8 would be appropriate. The kitchens in the cottages are excellent , so we cooked for ourselves, and this probably saved around £1,800 over a similar Hotel experience.
Parking is plentiful, no country roads to navigate, easy access to Dundee and North East Fife, plenty of space for children, and plenty of space to avoid them!

Very comfortable and had absolutely everything provided. A good location for exploring the area with lovely country views.
A very friendly welcome. The hamper was a pleasant surprise and very much appreciated. Thank you.

The whole experience was very enjoyable. Evelyn and Ralph were very welcoming and helpful in every way. The accommodation is first class, comfortable and interesting, and private if you wish. The location is near enough to many places of interest and yet quite rural. I would recommend the cottages to anyone and we certainly intend to return.

For visits to Dundee and the surrounding Fife countryside and coast, the location of the cottage was ideal. We also ventured north into Angus and there are many places to visit within a reasonable area. The Fife coast is great for walking and for anyone with an interest in nature and wildlife - birds, butterflies, dolphins and seals were all seen.
The house is set in nice grounds with picnic tables and gardens to be enjoyed. Part of a large house with an interesting history, the conversion to holiday cottages had clearly been carried out with knowledge, skill and care.
Our cottage, Baillie Scott was very tasteful but at the same time homely and relaxing. It was well equipped and nicely decorated and very clean on arrival. There was a welcome pack with a selection of essentials and a few luxuries - we had also ordered a veg box and a fruit box which were very useful. We chose to 'eat in' and found the Balgove Larder near St Andrews very useful.
We would be very happy to return to Sandford in the future.

A welcoming, bright, clutterfree hallway with feature timber staircase sets the tone for this spacious, relaxing, holiday home.
The quiet location is very convenient for exploring St Andrews, Dundee (Jute museum recommended) and only an hour or so from Edinburgh (Park and Ride advised). We also had some lovely coastal walks including East Neuk villages -Ruby Bay (Elie) to Anstruther (return on hourly bus possible), St Andrews Beach and Links (+ Himalayas Course for £3 Adult is good family fun) and Tentsmuir beach and forest - if you venture far enough towards 'The Point' then you may even see some seals.
Evelyn's personalised briefing bought instant warmth to the let - far better than an impersonal keysafe!

The Baillie Scott cottage was really great. Our family was consistent of 2 adults and 2 children.
We were greeted by one of the owners, Ralph, on arrival at the cottages. He showed us around the cottage and even offered to help with our bags. On the following day we also meet Evelyn. They are both so friendly and wonderful hosts.
The cottage itself was out of this world. So beautiful, but at the same time, has a great home feel. My 7 year old daughter loved having her own bathroom and my 2 year boy also enjoyed the bedroom, as well as his cot that was provided.
The beds were really comfy and allowed us to have an amazing sleep every night. The living/dining room and kitchen were great for a family to have meals together. The iPod in the living room was also great for just having relaxing times there. The property was really clean and very well set up. I would recommend everyone looking to stay at the properties, you will be well looked after by the owners and will enjoy every moment at Sandford country cottages. Because of the warm temperatures, we didn't have the joy of starting a fire up, but it was amazing to have it all set up and extra wood next to it.

Thank you again to Evelyn and Ralph for the great stay, and sorry again for my son's handprints on the terrace windows, hahaha.

We found Sandford Country Cottages to be in a very peaceful setting. Our cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and was very spacious. The cottages are in a great location for Dundee, St. Andrews and the East Coast of Scotland. The house and cottages are an interesting piece of Arts and Crafts history and Evelyn, the owner, was happy to talk about their renovation, to show us what they have done in the part of the property which is their own house and to talk about what she knows of the history of the place. All in all, a good place to stay.

Going back to Baillie Scott cottage was such a pleasure, the warm welcome on arrival sets the tone for the rest of our stay. The peace and quiet is just what the doctor ordered for those searching relief from the daily grind of work. We were privileged to see a red squirrel on our first morning and the birds around the feeders provide more light relief. We left feeling relaxed and energised and can't wait o get back to Scotland and in particular Sandford House.

This is by far one of the best self catering properties that we’ve stayed in. The cottage itself is beautiful; decorated and furnished so tastefully, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise, not the usual pint of milk and biscuit! The views of the countryside and the other buildings are lovely and there is private and shared outdoor space. We found it a great base to explore Fife with lots of diverse things to do and see within easy travelling distance. Evelyn was so welcoming and accommodating and it was this and the attention to detail and extra touches that really makes this a self catering cottage above the rest! We would highly recommend.

Sandford Country Cottages were ideal in terms of location and accommodation.... Evelyn and her husband were perfect hosts .. they were there whenever needed...were happy to advise and just chat... but left us to get on with enjoying our time in the area and in our apartment. These Cottages are perfect.

My husband and I were most impressed with every aspect of our stay and most of all by our welcoming hosts.The conversion of this estate has to be seen to be believed.
The cottage was pristine and every detail had been considered right down to the little bird feeders outside our balcony window at breakfast.Just lovely.

Sandford House is a wonderful Arts and Crafts house just south of the Tay. Ralph and Evelyn has re-created the house from its more recent history as a hotel that then closed and became derelict. The cottages are very clean and comfortable, beautifully furnished and with many thoughtful touches including a welcome basket for breakfast and much more. The house is in a lovely country location but also close to the main road to and from the Tay Bridge so easily accessible to Dundee, St Andrew's and the Fife Coast (given its a country location, the use of a car is very advantageous, but we easily got a taxi one evening to a restaurant in Newport on Tay and an occasional bus passes the end of the drive). Ralph and Evelyn are very welcoming hosts and are very knowledgeable about the area. They were quite happy for family to visit us for lunch in the cottage one day. Nothing seems to be too much trouble to make their guests comfortable. Sitting with the doors open over breakfast and watching the birds feeding, including a woodpecker, was a lovely start to each day. My wife even saw a red squirrel in the garden one day. We have already booked to return!

Just back from our 3rd stay at Sandford. A wonderful refuge in glorious countryside, yet only 15 minutes away from a buzzing town and city. Sandford is a beautifully restored building, and you can see the care and passion that has gone into the restoration. The cottages are spotless and spacious, very well equipped with everything you might need, the beds are very comfortable and the showers are fantastic. Evelyn and Ralph are very welcoming and are great hosts - not hovering over you, but are around if you need anything. Friends went with us this time, and instantly felt right at home. We loved our 3rd visit...looking forward to booking our 4th!

Regular visitors to Scotland, always staying in self-catering accommodation.
Baillie Scott Cottage was best ever holiday home. Highest standard in terms of building, space and facilities.
Evelyn & Ralph were excellent hosts throughout our stay. Appreciated guided tour of the refurbished Sandford House.
Location ideal for visiting Fife and beyond, plus rail links nearby to Aberdeen and Edinburgh.
We will be back.

This was our second stay at Baillie Scott cottage and we can't wait to return.The location is excellent, just 20 minutes away from our son at St.Andrews and a host of other places of interest. The tranquil environment lends itself to a relaxing stay, (just what we needed). The Customer Service is exceptional and everyone is so accommodating. Sandford House is a gem, Evelyn and Ralph are true custodians of architectural heritage and their commitment and enthusiasm is infectious. I would without reservation, recommend Sandford Country Cottages.

We have recently returned from our 2nd visit to Sandford Country Cottages where, this time, we stayed in Baillie Scott cottage. Beautiful craftsmanship, spotlessly clean, welcoming and very comfortable. We wanted for nothing whilst there - everything we might have needed was there on hand. There was lovely welcome basket upon our arrival, with bread, butter, milk etc...even a lovely bottle of wine. We saw the River Tay and the lights of Dundee through the trees on one side, whilst the balcony doors were south facing with a view over golden fields.
The location is great - 15 minutes from St Andrews or Dundee, and there is lots to see and do in Fife and the surrounding areas. Quaint harbours, castles, beaches, lovely walks, botanic gardens, great places to eat...
The owners of Sandford Cottages have created a fantastic place to stay and are very proud of their achievement - and rightly so. The quality of work, and the tasteful, thoughtful way in which all the cottages are furnished is fantastic. Lovely, helpful hosts Evelyn and Ralph have even shown us around their own wing at Sandford, which is a stunning home.

As mentioned, we have visited Sandford twice now, staying in Valentine and Baillie Scott. There are 5 cottages. Our only problem is now choosing which one we would like to stay in next time. And there WILL be a next time.

This was my first trip across the pond with my husband and Sandford Country Cottages made it so magical for us. Set in the countryside, we were able to relax after a day of exploring. Evelyn had the cottage ready with a greeting gift when we arrived. She has information on the history of Sandford Cottages and lots of info on things to do in Scotland. Sandford Cottages is centrally located and was a perfect place for us to have our base. We had a 5 day break in our stay and were able to return to the Cottage and leave our excess luggage at Baillie Scott while we explored Ireland.

Walks in the fields behind Baillie Scott were amazing! One night we watched the sunset from up high. Any questions we had were answered by Evelyn promptly. You feel like family when staying at Sandford Country Cottages, I feel like I have a home to come to when I return to Scotland! Thank you Evelyn and Ralph

The Sandford Country Cottages are a very nice place to spend one's vacation. The buildings are really nicely refurbished with a great dedication to details. In "our" cottage there were two bedrooms on the ground floor, each with a private bathroom. A small but fully resourced kitchen was found on the upper floor and was kept open to the large living room. The roof beams were kept as well visible as were the supporting wooden posts. In the family room there is a dining table in one corner and two convenient sofas plus another chairn in the center. This loungs suite is located to be able to look at the fire in the woodburner if needed during cool evenings. However, the entire cottage is also equipped with a very well working central heating. From the big windows close to the dining table you've got a nice view at your own terrace, which provides a further table and chairs to have lunch or dinner outside. It goes without saying that the cottage is equipped with a lcd Tv set, a stereo set and free WiFi. The cottages are surrounded by trees, fields and meadows, however, by car one can reach Newport-on-Tay and Dundee within a few minutes.

We spent a week in Baillie Cottage which looked really inviting from photographs on line. It was charming and luxurious and in such pleasant surroundings, in part of a beautifully designed building. No thought is spared - everything you could possibly need for self-catering is there including a welcome basket of provisions. We highly recommend Sandford Cottages and will definitely be returning.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this place. We had such a lovely 3 night stay at the Baillie Scott cottage with our 2 young kids. Evelyn kindly showed us around when we arrived and provided a very generous welcome pack. The stair gate was very handy with young kids and the kids loved running around outside in the garden. We loved everything from the views, the comfy beds, the spacious interior and its location - it was close to St Andrew's and Cairnie Fruit farm which are great days out as well as Dundee for shopping. We hope to be back soon.

A stunning property in a fabulous location. On arrival we were greeted by the owners who couldn't be more welcoming.
The accommodation is fantastic, beautifully restored, full of character and charm yet with all the modern touches to make it a Perfect Retreat.
Spacious,bright and very comfortable, plenty of room for us all - a family of 4.
Evelyn and Ralph were the perfect hosts and have done the most amazing restoration on this property and it was a joy to be there.
We will definitely be regular visitors.

We chose to stay at Baillie Scott Cottage while visiting our son at St Andrews. Sandford Cottages are close to Dundee and St Andrews and a short drive from Wormit, and Newport where there are some good restaurants and coop which bakes fresh bread daily.

The cottage is really very well kitted out, warm and comfortable with a wood burning stove in the upstairs sitting room and plenty of hot water. The bedrooms are downstairs and all windows look out onto beautiful countryside. The kitchen is excellent and Evelyn left us a basket of supplies (bread, butter, milk, cereal, coffee, tea, wine home made jam etc) so we were able to make breakfast on the first morning without doing a shop.

I would like to have stayed longer and we plan to go back again in May. Evelyn and her husband have done a great job of restoring their arts and crafts house and will show anyone round who is interested. We are looking forward to many more visits. I can't imagine a better place to stay.

My 89 year old dad and two friends (from the Netherlands) stayed in the cottage for 5 days when they were visiting us to attend our wedding in Newport on Tay. They found the cottage very comfortable and clean. They really appreciated the woodland setting of the building, which is in rural Fife but close enough to St Andrews, Dundee and Edinburgh if you're interested in a more city experience. The cottage has beautiful views across the rolling country side. The nights around the cottage are very quiet apart from the odd night creature rummiging in the underground and shouting out for its pal. If you are a keen stargazer then this place has the ideal setting - high up and pitch dark skies. Plenty scope for long walks along the river Tay. And last but not least, Evelyn and Ralph are the most warm and helpful hosts you can imagine. The cottage is not cheap but certainly worth it!!

We spent a long weekend at the Baillie Cottage. Although it was only the two of us the cottage easily accommodates 2 families. The cottage is beautifully converted with a great open living space upstairs and a terrace with bbq outside. The cottage is set in idyllic surroundings perfect for those looking to get away from it all. Evelyn was really welcoming and friendly and was always on hand when we needed her.

We had a wonderful stay in early Feb, so the weather was terrible, but the cottage with its wood burning stove, comfortable and well appointed seating, helped us while away the winter day. We had everything we needed to prepare meals and simply enjoyed our brief 'home away from home.' It couldn't have been a nicer way to spend the weekend.

Beautiful spot, lovely property, high-spec finish and very comfortable. The owners were helpful and friendly, and with no fuss happily accommodated our 2-year-old (cot, stair gate, high chair), who also had a great time. Highly recommended - we hope to be back.

Everything just worked from the kitchen equipment to the central locationof the property. Hesitate to recommend it in case it gets too popular and we can't get back!

We can't recommend this cottage highly enough. Everything was perfect. Beautiful accommodation, attention to detail in everything. The perfect hosts in Evelyn & Ralph, who have made a fantastic job of the renovations (they even gave us a tour of their beautiful Arts and Crafts house). Fantastic place, lovely people, we will definitely be back.

I had a wonderful stay with my wife in the Baillie Scott Cottage. Evelyn gave us a warm welcome and showed us around. The Cottage has been finished to an extremely high standard with top quality fittings and fixtures. Both the bedrooms were en-suite, one with a free standing shower and the other with a shower over the bath. Luxury towels are provided along with hand soap in the en-suite and the shower was like a deluge - fantastic.
The Log Burner in the Living Room was a nice homely touch and adds to the country cottage feel. There has been no expense spared converting the Sandford Hotel into Luxury Cottages so well done to Evelyn and her husband for bringing the Sandford back to life.
Great Cottage - Great location!
Thanks for a great stay.

We so enjoyed the sanford cottages, what a perfect spot in the country, yet close to town. Evelyn, the owner, did above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. We wanted to stay longer. Thank you again!

Evelyn and Ralph were the perfect hosts from the moment we arrived. They were incredibly helpful and thoughtful but not in any way intrusive. Their house is stunning and well worth a visit! The location of the cottage is a good base for exploring the area and heading up to Dundee or South to Edinburgh. We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday and would definitely like to return in the near future. A perfect way to unwind in a peaceful setting!

The place was very neat and the location was just perfect. Very comfortable rooms and well appointed too. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers and everything else worked very well. Evelyn and Ralph were incredibly helpful with showing us around town, getting us acclimated to the place and all that. The internet connection was sporadic and slow and this is one thing that could use some improvement..!!

The facilities and the overall presentation are outstanding. The cottage reflects the high standard of the owners, whose warmth and welcome contributed to a most enjoyable stay. Nothing was a problem. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and a delight to work in. The bed linen and bathrooms were of the highest standard.

The location was ideal for both St Andrews and Dundee. We shall certainly return when in the area.

We loved our stay at Sanford House! It was just a beautiful place to stay and was extremely well equipped for anything you could think of. The owners were so warm and welcoming and felt like family. We have relatives in the area, and will stay any time we get the chance to go back! It is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and feel pampered by your surroundings.

My friend and I have just spent four days at Baillie Cottage, it was perfect. Evelyn and Ralph were the perfect hosts and we were delighted to be shown round their home and on other on going work on two other cottages, huge task but the pleasure and joy of seeing it all coming together shone from them both. To hear their ideas and plans for the future was so nice, quite in awe of them both.

Baillie Cottage is finished to a very high standard and so comfortable to stay in. A beautiful hamper to greet us was so thoughtful, fresh bread, home made jam, lovely coffee and a very welcome bottle of wine.
Lovely little coutyard entrance to the cottages which will be beautiful in a few weeks time with all the flowers coming through.

We will certainly be going back again.

Where do I begin?! A wonderful Art Deco house in a secluded location. Baillie Scott cottage is separate from the main house, beautifully furnished and very well appointed, the welcome basket was an unexpected bonus with a selection lovely 'essentials'!
I had great stay & will definitely be going back.

We booked a stay at Baillie Scott Cottage to visit universities and meet up with family. It was an excellent choice, we were sad to leave and are planning a return! Ralph and Evelyn are the most hospitable and welcoming people, helping you to make the most of your visit. The care, quality and attention to detail in the cottages shines through. The location is fantastic, quite and peaceful but near the roads leading to the Tay bridge/Dundee and to the South, St Andrews and the fishing villages of East Neuk of Fife. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We really enjoyed staying in Ballie Scott Cottage, it actually exceeded expectation! The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We felt like we had privacy yet also easy access to help from Evelyn if required. Care has obviously been taken to ensure guests are happy and comfortable. We really appreciated the basket of provisions and all the information contained in the folder.
We do expect to return as we have close family in the area and Sandford offers a great solution. My only hope for next time is that there is a fence around the two small cliff drops (to the side of Ballie Scott and by the parking going down to the pond) as this just makes me a little nervous with a small child.

Thanks for the great review Katrina and Dan. It was lovely having you stay with us and we're glad you enjoyed your holiday. The fence around the patio area is one of the next things in the to do list so we should have this up in the next week or so. Hope to see you all again. Ralph and Evelyn

Everything about our stay at Baillie Scott Cottage was outstanding. A beautiful cottage, tastefully decorated to a very high standard yet maintaining a homely feel. What a very generous welcome basket from Evelyn & Ralph. We will be back.
