Forgan Cottage - newly refurbished

Centrally located 5 minutes walk from the town centre, Forgan Cottage has the charm of an historic cottage with all modern comforts. The cottage was built circa 1896 by the Forgan family who in the late 1800s were one of the leading golf club manufacturers based in St Andrews.
The cottage was modernised in 2012 and has recently undergone major refurbishment in 2022 with new basement utility area, new decor, furnishings and flooring in all the bedrooms, and new flooring throughout the rest of the cottage.
The bright living/dining area looks out onto the back garden and the path along the Kinness Burn can be accessed through the rear garden gate.
All bedrooms have superking size beds, and can all be converted to twin beds.
The large centrally heated basement has been fully modernised with new units and flooring this year. There is a new washing machine, tumble dryer, additional integrated fridge and freezer, wine chiller fridge and specially designed space for your dog. There is also ample space to store bikes and golf clubs.

Such a charming cottage

We had a fantastic stay in Forgan Cottage! The beds were comfortable, the decor was charming, the TV room was snug and enjoyable too. Best of all was the location - just a 5-10 minute walk to virtually all of St. Andrew's, especially fun via Louden's Close and Lad's Brae - 2 little waling paths that have a very 'secret garden' kind of feel. We absolutely loved it. Great communication and help from our host Patricia too - thank you!!

Forgan cottage was a perfect spot to stay while visiting St. Andrews. Tricia had everything we could need ready for us! The cottage was truly spectacular- from the outside patio to the fact that we could walk into town! Next time we visit we will definitely book the Forgan cottage.

Great property!

Forgan Cottage provided quite an enjoyable stay. The property owner Tricia was very organized and communicated everything well ahead of time. The cottage was clean, comfortable, roomy and functional. The location was convenient to shopping, dining and pubs as well as golf links. Shuttle service and bus station nearby. Thanks again for a great visit! We’ll be back.

Clean, spacious, conveniently located

This cottage was very clean and well equipped, and the washer/dryer was a big help since we were five days into our trip. A bit of a hike to town and even further to the links, but close to the botanical garden and the local shops and restaurants on south street.

A Fantastic Home in the Heart of St. Andrews

A great home for family stays or for golf trips. The house is just a few steps away from the the middle of town and quick access to golf and all that St.Andrews has to offer. Very clean and orderly, and a great back patio for bbq’s or a afternoon cocktail. Tricia is quick to respond and a gracious host.

Stay in St Andrews

Forgan Cottage was a great place to stay for the four of us on our golf trip to St Andrews. Facilities were clean and well cared for. Location is excellent - if you want to walk you are within 15 minutes of just about everything of significance in St Andrews. While no onsite parking - there is ample free parking nearby. Patricia was a great host - always communicated clearly and promptly during the booking and stay. Beds were comfortable and rooms well furnished. Forgan will nicely support 3 couples. We were four separate individuals and it work out nice for beds available. Would gladly come back to Forgan Cottage in the future.
