Coulthard Lodge

The large open plan kitchen / diner / lounge provides a spacious family area with floor to ceiling windows that frame the uninterrupted views across the countryside towards St Andrews and the bay beyond. Large patio doors lead onto the decking that offers alfresco dining and BBQ facilities. The kitchen is equipped with all the crockery, pans, utensils and facilities you will need for an enjoyable stay. The lodge offers spacious living and well apportioned bedrooms tastefully decorated to offer the country cottage feel in a contemporary space. All bedroom linen and towels are provided although we do request that guests bring their own beach towels. Guests are welcome to explore our community woodlands, roam around the farm to visit the ponies, pygmy goats and sheep and take in all the wildlife and nature that Cuplahills has to offer. Kids can play safely and freely on the private play park which is located alongside the cabins and includes swings, a slide, play fort, push-me-pull-you and large sunken trampoline. Dogs are accepted in the each lodge with a weekly price of £30 each, however shorter stays can benefit from reduced rates upon request. This lodge has no access ramp, so those with mobility issues should consider our other three properties Our lodges offer a country cottage feel that remains cosy no matter what time of year. With light streaming into the lodge from every direction there is always an opportunity to enjoy the countryside location whilst enjoying amazing views across our farm and beyond to St Andrews Bay. The lodge is uniquely yours for the duration of your stay with no intrusion from anybody else. A fully equipped kitchen / diner / lounge with direct access onto a private deck overlooking St Andrews is all yours to enjoy. Three bedrooms that sleep up to six guests, two bathrooms incorporating two showers and a bath ensure that there is plenty space for everyone. Outside there is a flat grassed area where kids can run around and burn off energy in complete safety. A BBQ site is available behind each lodge. The play park which is located directly opposite the holiday lodges is available for all guests to share and provides a great source of endless entertainment for the kids. The lodges are located at the heart of Cuplahills Farm. We have an amazing array of woodland walks, and farm tracks that provide access to everyone across our family farm and beyond. Guests are encouraged to make the most of their stay at the lodges and wander through the farm visiting the goats, sheep and horses. There are many circular walks all of which will provide the opportunity to get close to nature, see farming close at hand and enjoy spectacular 360 degree views. Upon arrival you will be able to let yourself into the lodge as the door will be open and the key in the lock or hanging up inside. Every effort will be made to visit you shortly after arrival to welcome you and answer any questions so that you can start to enjoy the facilities and stunning view without disturbance. If there are any issues during our stay help will be available from Stephen or Amanda who live in the farmhouse just a few hundred metres along the road. Contact details are readily available in the welcome pack. If you have any concerns, need to report any missing items or would simply like to some information and advice about where to eat, places to visit or information about the farm please get in touch any time. Whilst staying at Cuplahills Farm you will feel like you are miles form anywhere; surrounded by rolling fields, coniferous woodlands, bird song and farm animals there are few better places to relax. Despite this tranquillity, St Andrews Country Lodges are located just 15 minutes form the historic university town of St Andrews and the bright lights of Dundee. Your only neighbours are those guest that may be staying in one of the other three lodges and the friendly goats, sheep and horses in the surrounding paddocks. The area is incredibly safe with no through traffic. We take pride in offering an array of woodland walks and farm tracks along which guests ad the local community of Balmullo regularly use to explore the farm either on foot or bicycle. As we are located 1 mile up a farm track in the country it is strongly advised that guests staying with us have their own transport available. Our farm tracks are in good order, but consideration should be given to the fact that these are country roads and as such very low clearance sports cars would not be advised. We are fortunate to have excellent access to local buses just a mile down the farm track in the village of Balmullo. Buses regularly travel to St Andrews, Dundee and Cupar. There are plenty of local taxi services in the area that know our location well and offer convenient transport back and forth from town if you wish to enjoy a few drinks. The main East Coast railway station of Leuchars is located just 2 miles away. This line provides easy access to Edinburgh in under 1hour with very convenient and cheap car parking available at the station. During harvest time there will be a few days when large farm machines including combine harvesters, balers and tractors with grain trailers will be in the fields and on the farm tracks. These days are very limited, but provide an amazing opportunity to see these awesome machines in action close at hand. We kindly ask that guests remain vigilant and considerate during these times so as to remain safe and to prevent disruption of work flow.
