About this property

A charming single-storey cottage nestled on the grounds of the National Trust for Scotland’s Hill of Tarvit Mansion, East Cottage is the perfect choice for a tranquil family holiday to the region of Fife. Originally built for the estate workers and gardeners, this Edwardian dwelling is set within its own enclosed garden near to the estate's original stable block, offering historic excitement around every corner. Be welcomed into this traditional home from home after a day outdoors and settle within the sitting room, where two sofas rest alongside a warming woodburning stove, perfect for a winter's eve with loved ones. Come together around the dining table within the kitchen/diner, where you’ll find a fitted kitchen holding all the appliances needed to rustle up home cooked meals. The single-storey layout of the cottage lends itself well to those with limited mobility, with all three bedrooms resting on the ground floor; choose from either two delightful double bedrooms or the equally attractive single room, all served by the family bathroom, which includes a bath and an overhead shower. Enjoy a family holiday to Fife in the wonderfully scenic setting of East Cottage at Hill of Tarvit Mansion. This property can be booked with Refs. 1060390, 1060391, 1060392, together sleeping up to 18 guests.

The town of Cupar rests in the parish of Fife in Scotland, lying between the city of Dundee and the town of Glenrothes.

Explore the local green areas like Duffus Park with its bowling club and skatepark, as well as Tarvit Pond and the banks of the River Eden, making a lovely holiday destination.
