Lady Bluebell is our ground floor apartment with 3 double en-suite bedrooms. It is named after Lady Bluebell Walker who owned Sandford along with her husband Sir William Walker from 1930 - 1960.

It is situated on the North West corner of the building and has a large private terrace outside. It is designed with a mixture of contemprary and antique furniture with lovely tweed Moon fabrics. The open plan living area is very spacious and has a wood burning stove to keep you cosy on the Winter nights.

The newly fitted kitchen has a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, induction hob, electric oven, microwave, coffee machine and their is a another fridge/freezer in the hall cupboard.

The living area has a large leather settee and armchairs and has a 40" Freeview TV + DVD player. There is also a Bluetooth speaker which uses Bluetooth to play music through a phone or iPad.

The apartment has three bedrooms - bedroom one has a superking bed which can be split into twin beds and has an en-suite wet room. Bedroom two has a double bed and and en-suite shower room and bedroom three has a king size bed which can be split into twin beds and an en-suite bathroom. All en-suites are fully tiled and fitted with power showers.

The comfy beds have sumptuous duvets and pillows and the bedlinen is crisp white Egyptian cotton.

The entrance hall is spacious and has storage for coats, golf clubs and suitcases.

As this apartment is on the ground floor it is suitable for someone with mobility problems and we also accept one small, well-behaved dog in Lady Bluebell.

The accommodation at Lady Bluebell was of the highest standard. The bed was extremely comfortable and the view from the bedroom windows were amazing. The welcome pack was a great idea and had lovely things in it. The kitchen was very well appointed and had everything that we needed. The grounds were so quiet and peaceful and the squirrels were great fun to watch. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I booked this property, alongside another, to take my friends away for my 60th birthday celebrations. The hosts were welcoming and informative. The accommodation is fantastic: super comfortable beds and linens, lovely bathrooms, well equipped kitchen.
The location is rural and beautiful, we watched red squirrels in the garden. Outdoor areas with furniture, if the weather is good enough. Only 3-4 miles from the nearest villages and 15 minutes into Dundee.
The only tiny thing is we found the lounge area a little bit cramped for 6 adults in the evening. But it did not dampen the party!

We have stayed here four times now, what better recommendation is that!
The accommodation is perfectly appointed in a beautiful setting, with the benefit of regular sightings of the resident red squirrels, we even saw a baby kit on this occasion. All very clean, nicely furnished and equipped with everything we needed.
Sandford is very handy for Leuchars train station and a day trip to Edinburgh. £1 to park at the station for the whole day, and only an hour on the train.
St Andrews is a ten minute drive, and all the lovely villages of the East Neuk are easily reached.

3 bedrooms ensuite, one completely barrier free. (The entrance from the parking place to the house is not barrier free.)
The kitchen cum dining and lounge make up a spacious area for everyone to use.
Fully equipped kitchen for those who want to cook. Extra fridge- freezer. 2 Barbecues, one gas, one charcoal. Two terraces.
This apartment is in a charming location: quiet, not far from shops, one hour from Aberdeen or Edinburgh and airports. Dundee, just across the Tay Bridge, is only 10 minutes away by car.

Christmas at Sandford was great. Lady Bluebell is one of the best cottages - and they are all excellent! The Christmas carols in the arts and crafts house were a highlight. Evelyn and Ralph are wonderful hosts. Already booked our next visit.

This was a wonderful find for visiting relatives in Wormit.
We stayed one week and had our grandson to stay and his mum and dad to visit.
Wonderful location with sightings of red squirrel, a woodpecker and an owl at night.
Very well presented apartment, well run by lovely friendly owners.
A welcome pack was provided which included essentials to keep us going until we got to a shop in the local village.

All in all a wonderful place to find and we would have no hesitation in using these holiday lets again

Our 4th time at SCC and another very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We know Fife and love the area, there are plenty of places to visit and eat, too many to list all but St Andrews, Anstruther and the other East Fife coastal villages are a must. The View and the Boat Brae provide excellent food, (worth the money eating experiences). The Balgove Barn is also worth a visit. Great food, service and value can be found in an old traditional harbour pub in Tayport called Cobbies Inn, it does appear basic but its well worth a visit but you need to book. Our thanks to Evelyn, Ralph and their team who look after everybody who attends this special holiday complex.

This cottage had such a lovely mix of modern and traditional décor. The kitchen had been recently renovated and opened up into a lovely dining and living space which contained some more traditional furniture that made you feel like you were in a cabin! We loved how each cottage had a wood burning fire, gives us even more of a reason to come back and stay in the cottages during winter too. The space has also been updated since the pictures on the website were taken and it is honestly even more stunning than they show! This cottage had everything you could've needed for your stay. The balcony was a lovely space to escape on to that looked over a quarry too. Nothing negative to say, cannot wait to come 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.

Finally we were able to return to Sandford Cottages after two years of Australian Covid travel restrictions. It was so great to be back in Lady Bluebell! We have spent many happy times at Sandford which we discovered when our son was a student at St Andrews. Lady Bluebell is our favourite. We love the terrace where we have enjoyed barbecues in the warmer weather. We have also had many cosy evenings with the wood burner to keep us warm in the colder weather. This place gets better each time we visit. There is now a Coach House to stay in plus a barbecue hut which I can’t wait to try out. Also there are now red squirrels. This time we only had three nights but we are looking forward to returning and staying for longer next time. Evelyn and Ralph are excellent hosts. It was good to see that Newport is thriving as a little town. There is a great coop for provisions, also a butcher, baker, and deli plus excellent fish and chips. Can’t wait to return!

We have stayed in all of the apartments at Sandford but this is probably our favourite. It has doors that open onto a patio with table and chairs and access to the garden. It is always a delight to watch the red squirrels in the garden early morning. The apartment is well equipped, very clean and very comfortable. Thanks again, Evelyn and Ralph!

This was our third visit to Sandford and our first time in Lady Bluebell Apartment. We loved staying here, the accommodation was great. We particularly enjoyed meals around the table with the beautiful views of the garden - the birds and red squirrels - and out to the River Tay. The patio gives you direct access to the garden and was a nice place to sit out and even eat when the weather allowed. Sandford was a good base for family trips to St Andrew’s, Tentsmuir beach and forest and other places. Evelyn was as friendly and helpful a host as ever. We hope to be back again!

We spent 3 nights at Lady Bluebell. The apartment, host and welcome basket were lovely. The apartment is in easy distance of Tentsmuir beach, St Andrews and also mins from Newport with a great deli and nice restaurants. So a good location to explore from if you have a car as immediate surrounds were limited for country walks..Definitely recommend.

Ideal property for family with children /dogs as it’s furnished for robust use.
Due to a change in our circumstances only my husband and I ,along with our wee dog ended up staying there, although area around was beautiful and the cottage was well set up , we found it too communal for our needs , as we like to have more privacy and not hear and see our neighbours on holiday .

I stayed in here with my Best Men before my wedding and they also stayed the night of the wedding. It was a perfect location for us to hang out and relax and get ready for the big day and as everything is of a high spec it offered a lot of great places for some excellent getting ready photos too.

There is a lovely outdoor dining space with views across the countryside too. Would highly recommend staying here!

Back for our 4th visit to Sandford, this time we stayed in Lady Bluebell, which is such a lovely apartment. 3 spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and lovely en-suite bathrooms. Large open plan living/dining/kitchen with a bay window looking on to the garden, and bifold doors giving access to a private terrace. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with pretty much everything you would need, and is so cosy and comfortable that you might not want to leave.
The back garden is a lovely space with the views out to the River Tay vying for attention with the many birds and squirrels in the trees. The BBQ hut is fantastic, so roomy and comfortable - just a great place to spend an evening. Gas and charcoal BBQ's are available to use if you wanted to cook on the terrace. Evelyn and Ralph are very helpful and friendly - nothing is too much trouble for these marvellous hosts.
Sandford is a great base to explore from. The whole of Fife is just beautiful for walking, cycling, exploring. From here it is easy to access boat trips, train trips, museums...and that's before you head over the bridge to Dundee.

All in all, another wonderful stay at Sandford. I'm sure it won't be too long before we book our 5th visit.

We were a party of 3 couples who had a perfect stay at Lady Bluebell. The cottage was gorgeous, with plenty amenities and extremely comfortable. The location was ideal, very peaceful but close enough to nearby Wormit, Dundee and a short drive to St Andrews. Beautiful grounds/garden.

We knew of Sandford because it came highly recommended from friends and we had stayed there for just one night a few years ago. However staying there for a whole week enabled us to appreciate it even more; especially the warm welcome and "nothing is too much bother" attitude of the owners, Evelyn and Ralph. Each of the 3 bedrooms had an ensuite bathroom which standalone shower, wet room or bath with shower over. All bedrooms were spacious.

The open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area had great views over to the Firth of Tay and the hills beyond, and was well equipped. The decor and furniture was a really nice mix of traditional and contemporary with some really nice older items which fitted the overall arts and crafts style of Sandford.

The grounds are attractive with plenty of picnic tables and a tree house which was much enjoyed by our 3 year old grandson.

Thanks Evelyn and Ralph for another great stay at Sandford - our sixth we think. You have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making the apartments Covid safe. We certainly felt safe. The apartments are as comfortable as ever and the grounds were ideal for our young grandson to play in safely. We have already booked to come again and look forward to using the bbq cabin in winter!

Spent several nights at Lady Bluebell. The hosts, Ralph and Evelyn are a delight as is the accommodation. Great care has been taken to address the risks of Covid 19 and we felt reassured and very safe during our visit.

This is our 3rd time staying here. We love visiting Sanford homes! We travel with two children and the homes are always equipped with the items you need for a baby and child friendly. The location is absolutely beautiful in the countryside. Our children enjoy running around in the field beside the home. Evelyn and Ralph are both very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

We booked two adjoining apartments which were perfect for our group of 5 couples for a long weekend.
There was a lovely welcome basket with essentials plus a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. We were very comfortable and the log burner added to the relaxing ambience on a cold November night. We had everything in the kitchen that we needed for rustling up a Sunday dinner for 10 with plenty extra crockery, cutlery, and glasses.
This was our 2nd visit and I'm sure we will all return in the future.

We can’t recommend this accommodation highly enough. Accommodation completed to a very high specification, very clean and friendly welcome. Well worthy of its 5 star rating. This is by far the best accommodation we have stayed at with our little dog in the UK. Ralph and Evelyn were very helpful and always had time to chat even although they seemed very busy. We are already planning another visit next year.

We had 6 very relaxing days at Sandford staying in Lady Bluebell. The cottage was absolutely delightful, very well equipped, cosy, clean and comfortable very much home from home. Set in beautiful countryside with great golf, walking, shopping & restaurants nearby. Evelyn & Ralph have worked extremely hard to renovate Sanford and it shows in the very tasteful fixtures, furniture & beautiful William Morris wall coverings. We will be back and thank you for making us feel so welcome and the delicious welcome pack.

We were travelling from Canada and used Sandford Cottages as out home base for four days while we explored the East Neil. Evelyn and Ralph are quintessential hosts. Lady Bluebell was spacious and quiet, clean and welcoming (including a basket of essentials). It was fascinating to tour the house and understand the renovations over the years. We were accompanied by my guide dog and he met all the local Pups. We highly recommend this wonderfully appointed setting!

I have marked this as excellent because I felt it was very well deserved. The attention to detail was so good even down to a pair of binoculars to watch the birds in their abundance. Bird feeders in plenty to encourage them. The apartment was spacious, Clean and warm with a wood burner if you wanted the luxury of a fire as well as central heating. Parking is plenty and convenient being right by the apartment. Should you fancy it there is plenty of interesting bits in the grounds including a hobbit house. The owners have provided leaflets of the many attractions around as well. They are also on hand for any help required , warm friendly but without being intrusive.

Lady Bluebell is truly five star accommodation and not only met our expectations but exceeded them by a very long margin. The location is extremely tranquil and being situated in an elevated position the views are wonderful. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and with each bedroom boasting it’s very own en-suite there was never a queue for the bathroom. This was our first visit to Sandford Country Cottages and it certainly won’t be the last as we have already booked for next year.
Evelyn and Ralph are the most welcoming and accommodating owners and nothing is too much trouble and they too deserve a five star rating without a doubt. A quality welcome hamper is provided on arrival which was a lovely touch.

Staying at Lady Bluebell was the most relaxing experience from start to finish, Evelyn and Ralph were most welcoming, it was great to see all their hard work from television programs, accommodation was 5 star , watching all the birds in garden was a great treat, we can’t recommend “The Sandford experience “ enough!
Thank you so much.

Starting with a very warm welcome from Evelyn, we spent 2 weeks in the very nice Lady Bluebell apartment and enjoyed it very much. The location with nearby St. Andrews, Dundee or Carnoustie is excellent to explore the golf courses and all the other places of interest in the region.

My wife and I found this perfect location for our golden wedding family celebration weekend with our three sons and their families plus Seumas our dog. Our group of eleven people stayed in both Lady Bluebell and Valentines cottage where we all had superb facilities and these cottages provided extremely comfortable ans spacious accommodation for everyone in the party.
Evelyn and Ralph are the perfect hosts, welcoming and friendly and did everything which we could have hoped for to make this special celebration a very happy and memorable one indeed.
Evelyn and Ralph have gone to tremendous efforts to re-create the arts and crafts building which Sandford House had been designed to be from the start. Their efforts have to be greatly envied and admired - sincere thanks and congratulations from a very grateful Reid family - we cannot thank them enough.
Having stayed in the East Neuk at various houses and locations over the last thirty-eight years from the time when our oldest son was only one year old we can honestly say that Sandford Country Cottages are certainly the best-appointed, comfortable and in a most beautiful setting that we have ever stayed in. We will most certainly be returning to Sandford very soon.

This was our third stay at Lady Bluebell, though we have also stayed at Bailey Scot and the Giddy Limit. All lovely but Lady Bluebell has the advantage of a lovely ground floor outdoor area for bbqs and dining. Being from Australia we do like to bbq! and there is a particularly good gas Weber. The occasion was summer term half term and we do also have a son at St Andrews who likes to bring his friends over for dinner, so Lady Bluebell works very well. The cottage is beautiful. Evelyn and Ralph have thought if everything. It is the most relaxing spot and the time always goes much too fast. We willl return soon!

Thanks to Evelyn and Ralph we had the most wonderful 4 days to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. We rented 3 of the cottages and all were of the same high standard and were great for the family and friends that came.
It made his birthday. The location was fabulous and the scenery just wonderful.

Thank you so much for making it a special occasion.

We first heard about Sandford House after watching the BBC programme Restoration Home and it was one of those moments where I just felt I HAD to stay there and immerse myself in the Arts and Crafts style that was being so sympathetically and so delicately restored to the house, following its various uses and eventual abandonment. It did not disappoint, and all the details the programme had picked up on were there, from the hand-made swan window catches, to the leaded windows, to the arts and crafts furniture. Evelyn's styling of each of the cottages balances both the old with the modern perfectly; smart TV, DVD player, dishwasher, washing machine, Tassimo coffee maker, comfortable leather sofas etc sit alongside solid oak furniture, antique style bathrooms, and stunning artwork on the walls. The cottage was IMMACULATE and the welcome gift was a wonderful surprise - but the place was also kitted out with much more than the bare basics you usually get on self-catering holidays. The cupboards were stocked with sauces and spices, a complimentary box of coffee pods, and full range of cooking implements. Sandford House itself is stunning (ask Evelyn for a tour), and a great base to visit Dundee, St Andrews and all the neighbouring villages (we were lucky to be there during the Pittenweem arts festival - a MUST). We couldn't praise this little gem more, and we hope that we will be lucky enough to be returning soon. We arrived as guests but left feeling like friends. Thank you so much Evelyn, it was worth every penny :) xx

We had a wonderful stay in the Lady Bluebell, Valentine's cottage and Giddy Limit. Evelyn is a wonderful host - she was very attentive to my various requests and incredibly friendly. She and her partner do a great job of being available for questions and being very friendly but also leaving you to your own devices. The views are incredible and we were blessed with good weather. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a family Christmas for 12 of us between the two apartments - Giddy Limit and Lady Bluebell. Evelyn and Ralph were so thoughtful and friendly throughout the planning stages and visit, helping us to meet the needs of our group aged 13 - 83 and even providing a lovely dog bed for Coco! Under their guidance, we enjoyed morning runs down the footpath to the lake, visits to Dundee and St Andrews, a meal at The View and the midnight service at Wormit Church on Christmas Eve! Everything about the apartments felt luxurious and we were even more impressed when we watched the DVD showing how they had restored Sandford House themselves! Thanks again to the hosts for making us feel so welcome

Lady Bluebell is a beautiful and spacious cottage. Immaculate and comfortable beds and sofas - a Real home from home. Well stocked kitchen with lots of utensils and white goods and the little extras you’d have at home and always wish you’d taken with you!
We’d highly recommend staying there and enjoying the most relaxing setting and amazing views being only a few minutes drive to St Andrews or Dundee.

We stayed in the Lady Bluebell cottage when staying with a larger group. The first thing we noticed on our arrival was the lovely bay window with the gorgeous views! The grounds around the cottages are beautiful and all link to a very picturesque courtyard. We hired a hot tub to use over the weekend - Evelyn was very accommodating with this - and it was a great little extra to have during our stay. The apartments were gorgeous, modern and fully equipped with everything you could need - we loved our little basket of goodies! Each apartment had an en suite bathroom which was perfect for us with us all getting ready to go out together at the same time! It's not far at all to get to St Andrews where we went for a day trip and enjoyed a walk along the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Sandford Country Cottages and will be sure to return. Thanks to Evelyn and Ralph for a wonderful stay and being so welcoming!

This is the third visit for us, we keep coming back because the accommodation is superb as is the customer service. This year we stayed in Lady Bluebell and we were not at all surprised to find it at the same beautiful standard as Valentines Cottage. I have no doubt we will book for next year too. Lots of things to do locally and Eden Mill distillery is well worth a visit - the gin tour was particularly good (get a taxi!! - four full measures of gin on the tour).

The apartment is perfect for our family (lots of space, comfortable beds and good showers), and has a bonus of a fantastic view of the river in the distance. Generous and thoughtful hosts help make this the perfect holiday location. We look forward to a return visit soon.

Sandford's Lady Bluebell was a beautiful cottage, with lovely modern decor which still maintained a country cottage feel.
Fantastic accommodation for a family(which we needed with 4 kids) and we will definitely be back.
Handy for many activities in both Dundee and St.Andrews.
Lovely touch supplying a hamper style basket with some home essentials, among other things.
Owner/ Manageress was also very friendly and helpful.
For a local type of getaway it was perfect for us coming from Glasgow.
Lovely place which I would highly recommend.

Really well appointed cottage in quiet location with lovely views great terrace for outside meals etc if the weather had been better. Super layout inside and very comfortable and clean so felt like coming home each day. Evelyn and Ralph very friendly and helpful. Such a good location for exploring east coast and centre of southern Scotland. You can have short trips or longer ones with ease so very relaxing. We certainly hope to return we enjoyed ourselves so much!

We stayed with our two labradors in Lady Bluebell Cottage. The restoration has been done to a high standard and the cottage was very well equipped. The views were stunning and the location was a short distance from St Andrews and Dundee.

A fantastic long weekend for our wedding anniversary with dog in tow. Lovely welcome from Evelyn with a very nice welcome basket in the cottage. Beautiful cottage with views of the countryside, a real home from home. A huge thank you to Evelyn and Ralph for kindly driving us to the Peat Inn and arranging a taxi home for us. Will definitely be looking to visit again.

The Sandford is out this world. The cottage was very clean and had all the amenities you would expect as well as a very cosy feel to it it was very spacious. Very peaceful and rural location without being cut off. Loved our stay.

We almost always rent a holiday home rather than use a hotel. We've stayed in some really lovely places, both in the Uk and abroad. We're fairly choosy about what we're looking for, and so far it has always worked out well. That said, Sandford House really is exceptional. There was absolutely nothing we'd change, or that we think could be improved. Super living space, good sized bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds and excellent showers. The hosts were generous both with their time and hospitality. We were also delighted with the surprise view of the river from the living room!

We are originally from the area, and the apartment was also great for us hosting family and friends. How easy it was to get into Dundee, or St Andrews was actually a really nice surprise. It was quicker for us to get to central Dundee from there than our old house on the other side of the river.

We very much look forward to returning.

Lovely accommodation - beds were extremely comfy. A really nice welcome as well. Very handy for "being a tourist." You even managed to provide good weather for us. Hope to go back some day.

Evelyn greeted us and showed us how everything worked. The hamper was well filled with artisan essentials, and we quickly discovered a farm shop to replenish our supplies. We loved our stay here. Internet not very good, but who needs it when you are on vacation? Outstanding!

We've just returned (very reluctantly) from a wonderful stay in Lady Bluebell at Sandford Country Cottages. The facilities in the property and the quality of accommodation was of the highest standard - welcomed by Evelyn and Ralph when we arrived, and with a wonderful welcome pack filled with homemade and locally produced goodies, as well as the necessities like tea and coffee. The surroundings of the cottages are picture perfect, perched high on a hill beside tall trees, it is such a relaxing, beautiful setting.

The location of the cottages are great: near to St Andrews (c. 10miles) as well as the lovely coastal town of Newport. Well connected to motorway system and across the river from Dundee. We spent a lovely week travelling around the area, sampling everything good on offer from fresh strawberries from the nearby farm to beach walks in the lovely Tentsmuir Forest.

We had an amazing week away and would highly recommend the cottages and location to anyone travelling to the area. We're already looking to see when we can go back!

The cottage is immaculate in a superb setting with every home comfort provided. The owners have gone above and beyond with the standard of finish and the attention to detail. We couldn't have asked for a better place to have a relaxing break.

We had the privilege of staying in the Lady Bluebell holiday cottage at Sandford House from 1 March 2016 - 7 May 2016 during an extremely protracted house move. It has been perfection. Exceptional luxury and total comfort in a rural, historic retreat with magnificent hosts. The owners / proprietors, Ralph and Evelyn are two of the kindest, most generous, accommodating, thoughtful, hard-working, considerate and dedicated people we have ever had the privilege to meet. We now consider them our family friends. The attention to detail in the accommodations is consummate. The cleanliness standard is immaculate. The quality of the environment is impeccable. Exquisite quality linen, towels, mattresses, fixtures, fittings, fitments and provisions. The 5-star tourist board rating is hard-earned and totally deserved in this instance. Ralph and Evelyn have sensitively adapted and improved the accommodations of this very fine arts and crafts property, which is a sizeable and extremely attractive country house to be a rural idyll - a retreat, protected for generations to come. Ralph, Evelyn and Sandford House deserve to succeed, and we are pleased to provide our unqualified recommendation with our thanks.

We felt at home from the minute we opened the door. Very comfortable and good quality furnishings. The log burner was a bonus on a chilly dark winter's day.

Stayed here with two other work colleagues for a week. The accommodation and location was stunning and the welcome we got was second to none. Was that impressed that I would love to return with the family for a break. Can't recommend highly enough.

I booked a three bedroom apartment for a family break and had an excellent time here. The standard and quality of the apartment was excellent and the owners, who live across the courtyard, were always very helpful and accommodating. It's also is a lovely quiet spot, ideal for country walks, and yet easy commuting distance to St Andrews and Dundee both just a few minutes’ drive away.
