The Giddy Limit is our first floor apartment with 3 en-suite bedrooms.

It is situated on the North West corner of the building and has its own balcony overlooking the garden with views over towards the River Tay. It is designed with a mixture of contemporary 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.
Designed with oak posts and beams, and a solid oak floor - it really is The Giddy Limit!
The fully equipped kitchen has a full size dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, induction hob, electric oven, microwave and coffee machine.

The living area has an antique Bergere suite recently recovered in Moon fabric and has a 40" Freeview TV + DVD player. There is a Sonos sound system and free superfast WiFi.

The apartment has three bedrooms - bedroom one has a king size bed which can be split into twin beds and has an en-suite bathroom with a ppwer shower. Bedroom two also has a king size bed which can be split into twin beds and has an en-suite shower room and bedroom three has a double bed and an en-suite shower room. 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 apartment has its own entrance and is accessed through the courtyard.

Fantastic stay

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 balcony with furniture, if the weather is good enough. Only 3-4 miles from the nearest villages and 15 minutes into Dundee.
A welcoming basket of essentials was so nice.

A very enjoyable stay in a first floor apartment .each of the three bedrooms has an en suite and there is a spacious sitting/ kitchen diner. This is well equipped with modern fittings. The apartment is well presented and there is plenty of hot water with excellent central heating so we we were warm in cold weather. We had a very warm welcome from the owners .

Stayed Friday to Monday with guests for my daughters wedding at the Rhynd, Leuchars.
Met on arrival by Evelyn and Ralph who made us feel very welcome. Cottages are very
spacious and immaculately clean. Rooms were also spotless and beds very comfortable.
Welcome packs were also a nice touch. Hosts left us to explore and were never intrusive but always
available for assistance when required. Grounds surrounding the cottages were lovely and views stunning.

Thanks for a great weekend and we hope to be back.

This cottage was booked as part of a larger group and slept 6 people very comfortably. We loved the open kitchen/ living space with high ceilings and velux windows letting in so much light. The balcony was a particular favourite of the group staying here as it looked out on to this large grassy area with trees that housed a few red squirrels, which was great fun watching. Again, each bedroom was decorated to a very high standard, was clean and had an en-suite in each. The location of the cottages are fab too as they have local countryside walks you can go on, whilst being close to the cities too (St Andrews ~20 minute drive, Dundee ~10 minute drive). The beautiful weather we had whilst staying obviously made a good impression but honestly I think this cottage would be just as great to stay in in more 'traditional' Scottish weather too. Would highly recommend.

It was our second time at Sandford Country Cottages and we rarely come back to the same place twice. The apartment was a dream. Very clean, everything we needed was provided and we especially loved the wood fire!
I can recommend it with younger kids as well as there is plenty to discover - including squirrel and bird watching.
It's also close to St. Andrews and Dundee!

This is the second time we have stayed at Sandford Country Cottages. We stayed in Baille Scott about 6 years ago and in the Giddy Limit for this trip. We found the accommodation to be superb. Beautifully clean and well equipped. I loved that we had a different view from each window in the Giddy Limit. The beds were extremely comfortable and there’s plenty of space for 6 people. Parking is easy. This whole place is an absolute delight and a gem. We hired the indoor BBQ, which was absolutely brilliant and everyone had a great time, something very different! Thank you to Evelyn and Raph for their welcome, attention to detail and contributing to a fantastic week away for us all. Icing on the cake was seeing the red squirrel!!

I recently made a return visit to the Giddy Limit, this time for a party of five over a holiday weekend. We had a fantastic stay. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. There is ample seating and a great dining table. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with good showers. Sandford is such a peaceful place. You really feel that you are away from everything and there are great views from the Giddy Limit. I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.

We stayed in Giddy Limit which was very comfortable and well serviced. We hired all cottages for a large gathering and this was perfect as Coach House easily accommodated us.
The welcome packs are amazing!
We had a lovely welcome from Evelyn and Ralph who could not do enough to help us during our stay.

This stay was a welcome return to Sandford but our first time in the Giddy Limit. It did not disappoint! As always the accommodation was of a very high standard. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome basket and Scottish toiletries. The views from all the windows were exceptional. We particularly enjoyed watching a group of bullfinches who visited the tree outside the kitchen window. Evelyn and Ralph are great hosts who make you feel very welcome. Sandford is situated in a great location for walking the Fife Coastal Path, exploring the beautiful Fife countryside and visiting St. Andrews and Dundee. We hope to return in the near future and wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else.

We were four teachers from around Scotland who gathered to share the cottage. Each of us had our own space and were amazed at the comfort and style of the cottage. Everything had been though through and there was nothing we would change. The outdoor space was just perfect and having the BBQ hut made it even more special.

This was our third time at Sandford CC, our first stay was in the cosy Red Squirrel last year, in June this year we stayed in Lady Bluebell for three weeks while other family members were in the Coach House, during this September we had another 10 nights staying in the Giddy Limit, all are fitted out to a high standard with everything you need to ensure your stay is fabulous. Evelyn and Ralph are keen to ensure every need is met, our stays were enhanced by wonderful weather and the many easy to drive to places and locations. The View Restaurant again provided an excellent meal and the Sunday Afternoon Tea is well presented and filling. The Steak Barn near St Andrews is also worth a visit. Evelyn, Ralph thanks again for another great break and look forward to staying again and seeing you and all Fife can provide next year

We're a family of 5 who stayed at the Giddy Limit it early September. Evelyn was very friendly and welcoming and the apartment was outstanding. We had a wonderful peaceful stay watching red squirrels and various birds visit feeders and even deer on a couple of occasions. The apartment is perfectly located for beautiful walks along the coastline, visits to small fishing villages and art galleries in Dundee. We would also recommend Loco Rita, a vegan restaurant in Dundee. Overall, a lovely apartment and location for a well-earned rest.

Fabulous place to stay. Very tranquil and importantly owners on hand and very helpful. Accommodation very good, very clean, and everything on tap. A most generous welcome pack on arrival. Very good eateries around in Wormit and Newport and of course St Andrews. 20min away by car.
Amazed how the owners have taken this old hotel on board to make their home and 6 large modern apartments. Will certainly return.

We have now stayed in all the apartments and they are all lovely. The Giddy Limit has a private balcony overlooking the grounds. Ralph and Evelyn are perfect hosts. We will be back!

The beds were very comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Evelyn & Ralph are the perfect hosts. We can not recommend this accommodation highly enough. The setting is perfect with easy access to the surrounding areas. We can not wait to go back.

Great location for our university research north of the central belt with our daughter Evie. Lovely house, lovely apartment, Evelyn and Ralph couldn't do more for their guests to feel welcome. The cottages/apartments are beautiful and fully appointed with the provision of a welcome pack of groceries and other household supplies an unexpected but nevertheless welcome addition.
We've had a lovely, relaxing stay and fully recommend this self catering option.

We would highly recommend Sandford Country Cottages and The Giddy Limit. It was a beautiful apartment, spacious and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views were lovely and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony enjoying the sunshine and watching the birds in the garden. Evelyn and Ralph were extremely welcoming and helpful. It was a nice, peaceful setting but only a short journey to visit St Andrew's, Dundee or other surrounding towns. We will hopefully be back soon!

This cottage was so comfortable and the host provided everything we needed to feel like we had a home away from home. The bed linens were high quality and very soft. The king size bed in 2 of the bedrooms were actually twin beds put together. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed cooking and enjoying the view while eating-in each evening. The view from the kitchen and living room is very long range and beautiful with the sea visible in several windows. The birds and trees surrounding the cottage provide a private and relaxing environment. We enjoyed the stay very much!
Thank you

We arrived in a large group, 3 families all with children. We were greeted by Ralph and Evelyn and were left to explore our cottages. The cottages are all close together which is perfect for a large group but still needing their own space. The grounds and views are amazing with lots of wildlife visible from the windows or in the gardens. The children enjoyed the outside space. The location is close to lots of places to visit and we could have stayed another week in order to see everything!

One of the cottages has a large patio and Evelyn and Ralph provided a BBQ (and moved it to the patio) for us to use. Nothing was too much trouble. I have recommended Sandford Country Cottages to friends and family and we will definitely be back to stay again.

Second stay as an annual get together with another 5 couples, 6 people shared Giddy Limit and 6 downstairs in Lady Bluebell. We all got together in Lady Bluebell and there was sufficient space and seating to accomodate.
There is so much attention to detail with every utensil and all the crockery we needed to cook and serve meals for us all.
We found Evelyn and Ralph to be welcoming and helpful,everything was immaculate.........just perfect. We will be back for sure.

What a stunning location and absolutely gorgeous accomodation.
The apartment was very well equipped and had everything you need. The welcome pack was ideal.
The hosts were so friendly and on hand and clearly put their heart and soul into their business.
Hoping to return in the near future.

This is our second time staying here family of 2 adults and 3 children. We had the most amazing time again! The properties have been so beautifully restored and the owners Evelyn and Ralph are such lovely people, so friendly helpful and informative about the area. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need, so comfortable and cosy. The area all around is just great in all directions, so much to see and do and lovely places to eat if you are foodies like us! We will be back for sure!

We have just returned from an excellent break at New Year where we stayed in the property called th Giddy Limit a Sandford. We had an excellent stay there and found the property to be in first class condition, it was immaculate and very cosy a home from home. The owners Evelyn and Geoff were amazing they were very helpful and we found that nothing was too much trouble to them and they dealt with anything we asked immediately also their knowledge of the area eg eating places and even the butchers where we got a marvellous steak pie for our New Year celebrations was second to none. All in all we had a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend this property. We were there in a large party there were 20 of us and we used the other properties too which were also of a very high standard a good place for a family celebration.

The Giddy Limit is a lovely self-catering apartment. Beautifully furnished and equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Nice toiletries and a lovely welcome basket provided. WiFi was excellent. Set in a lovely location and just a few miles from excellent restaurants. We highly recommend Sandford Country Cottages.

We stayed at the property as part of a larger group and found the apartments to be in excellent condition. The welcome basket provided was a lovely touch and the hosts were very helpful if and when we had any specific queries. The location was very handy for getting to St Andrews and we would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who is looking for high quality accommodation in this area.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at ‘The Giddy Limit’. Evelyn was so welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. The ‘Welcome Pack’ was most appreciated and contained everything we coul need for our first night there (crusty loaf, butter, milk, coffee pods, biscuits and wine). Accommodation was first class, large spacious rooms and full of light with complimentary toiletries in every ensuite bathroom.

We were fascinated by the history of Sandford House and Evelyn kindly arranged a tour of the public rooms of the main house (her home). In the reception area there is information available on the history of the house including photos of how it has changed over the years.

There is a selection of games and puzzles available for guests to use which were most appreciated.

Sandford House sits amidst beautiful countryside and the views around it are stunning. There is easy access to Tayport, Dundee, and St Andrews - where we spent a lot of time walking through the town and enjoying the things it had to offer. We can recommend the Cinema (not a large cinema but it does have 3 screens); Nardini’s and Jannettas Gelateria for ice cream (delicious); Tailend for amazing fish and chips; The Cathedral, the Castle, University and the Preservation Trust Museum House for history and ambience; the Aquarium and Botanic Gardens - the list could go on and on for there is so much to see and do in the area and Sanford House provides a quality, warm, relaxing base to return to each evening.

We would highly recommend it to anyone considering a visit to the area.

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.

A group of us stayed in the Giddy Limit over a weekend and had a fabulous time! The apartments are immaculate and were fantastically equipped for your stay with a lovely basket of goodies on arrival. The little balcony area was such a lovely peaceful place to have a morning coffee and just enjoy the fresh air. Great location with not too far to go for local amenities and day trips as well. Thanks Evelyn and Ralph for a wonderful stay!

Thank you for the review. However we were disappointed to only receive 4/5 for Service, Condition and Value. The apartment sleeps 6 people but you arrived with a total of 11 people and expected them to be able to sleep on the floor and the sofas! We had already relented and put in two extra beds to accommodate 2 extra children, which turned out to be 3 children. We pride ourselves on being helpful, as you can see from our other reviews. The apartment was spotless when you arrived, but was incredibly dirty when you left, so dirty that it took our cleaner 3 times longer to clean it than normal, and someone had been smoking in the small bedroom with the window open! I had to fill 10 bin bags of rubbish that had been left all over the apartment, including all the packaging from your shopping trips. Most of our guests are very happy to leave our apartments the way they find them, perhaps I did not make this clear on your arrival that this was what was expected.

Outstanding

This was our second stay at Sandford Country Cottages, and our first time at The Giddy Limit. The purpose of our trip was to spend half term with our younger son near St Andrews where our older son is at University. Sandford Country Cottages are in a beautiful spot with views over the surrounding countryside and in a good position for visiting Dundee and St Andrews. The Giddy Limit is a first floor three bedroom apartment which is really comfortable and kitted out well with a lovely kitchen and sitting room opening out onto a furnished balcony.

Evelyn and Ralph are great hosts. We arrived after a chaotic day having got caught up in the BA mess at Heathrow. Our flight had been cancelled and we travelled up by train to Edinburgh only just arriving in time to pick up our hire car. Ralph offered to come and get us from Edinburgh which was not necessary in the end but an incredibly generous ge

We had a peaceful 5 day stay in The Giddy Limit. The apartment was beautifully clean with quality fittings and the welcome basket of food was perfect. The history of the house is interesting and the conversion to holiday cottages very successful. Evelyn was a friendly and helpful host, unobtrusive but very happy to provide any information or information required. There are interesting walks nearby along the Fife Coastal Path.

My friends of 4 and myself stayed at the Giddy Limit at Sandford Country Cottages for four nights and had wonderful time under the perfect conditions.
The house was beautifully decorated and well furnished so we felt as if we were at home, even better than our home!
Everlyn was available all the time and provided us with useful information around the area when needed.
I would definately stay again at the Sandford Country Cottages next time I visit Scotland.
Thank you.
