Luxury Hayshed Cottage with hot tub near St Andrews

Balass Hayshed Cottage provides a romantic setting for couples who enjoy a little luxury. With outlooks over our Mediterranean feel courtyard garden and access to a hot tub for the exclusive use of Hayshed guests. The tub is regularly cleaned between guest visits and the chemical balance of the tub is monitored. We have aimed to provide total comfort with all you could want to ensure a great holiday. We have White Company bedlinen, towels and bathrobes and the most comfortable of beds with a thick mattress topper described as “like sleeping on clouds”. We have feather duvets and pillows.
There is additional sleeping accommodation in the loft area of the property with a similarly super-comfortable bed.
The property is a 12 - 20 minute drive from St Andrews and there you have access to the lovely university town with its many golf courses, beautiful beaches and wonderful restaurants. We are 5 minutes from the local railway station and an hour’s train journey from Edinburgh. Dundee is a 25 minute drive with the new V and A Museum amongst many other attractions. There is also access to Royal Deeside about an hour away by car . The countryside featured in The Crown and Outlander can be reached easily.
Many guests use this as a centralised base to reach additional golf courses including Gleneagles and Carnoustie.
The property has wifi but we live in the country and we do not have fibre broadband. The signal has been boosted as much as possible but guests will not get the reception that they can expect urban settings.

Cupar Break
We had a lovely few days in this property and the weather was stunning too. We made good use of the hot tub, the bbq and the walled garden great for relaxing. About a mile or so out of Cupar so not suitable to walk into. Very central to visit local things though we went to the East coast Crail, Anstruther etc and also went the other way to Fawlkand and Auchtrrmucty. All in all very good x

Amazing place to stay!!
When we arrived the accommodation was in perfect condition. With it being easy to find, in the countryside but still not to far from the centre of Cupar. Was so quiet and enjoyable and to add the cottage was so cosy which made the experience even better. Would love to come back here as everything was just like we wanted our little break to be x

Heavenly hideaway
It’s was exactly as described on the app . Sue is a wonderful host who gave a superb check in guide and answered requests promptly . Although a shared courtyard it’s design still gave lots of privacy for our stay . I would highly recommend this accommodation to friends and family . I would love to visit again

Lovely Cottage
The Hayshed Cottage was a lovely small cottage in an idyllic countryside setting just outside Cupar. Everything was very clean and the linens of high quality. Despite its wee size, we prepared several dinners in the kitchen. The newly upgraded WiFi was amazing! The main bed was truly lovely but just know that it's on the small side. Be advised you may be sharing the courtyard with guests staying at the adjoining cottage. We had a lovely stay and would recommend the cottage to others.

Beautiful cottage and courtyard
The courtyard that the hot tub is really lovely and the pictures do not do it justice. The cottage was lovely and comfortable and great for myself and 17 year old son. The owner was very welcoming and we hopefully will visit again. The service that VBRO provides is lacking and poor communication re what the fees would be in the event of changing dates, which we needed to do. The owner communicated well but VBRO did not.

Long weekend
We had a wonderful relaxing break at the Hayshed Cottage! Susan met us on arrival and explained everything we needed to know. The cottage is very cute and spotlessly clean! I particularly liked the high quality towels and bedding and the availability of extra towels for the hot tub. We weren’t blessed with good weather due to the time of year and would love to visit again in the warmer months. Would definitely recommend a stay here!!

Wonderful Hostess and Accommodations
Our stay was built around attending The Open Championship at a location near St. Andrews and we made the right choice in staying here. Susan was very accommodating to insure our needs were met, going above our expectations on a number of occasions. We highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to enjoy a peaceful, country setting.

Beautiful oasis for a relaxing break
Myself and a friend escaped our busy families for a few days to this beautiful place. This is a sleek but cosy haybarn conversion. It's compact, but roomy enough for a couple or, like us, 2 friends. It has a real luxury feel to it. My friend loved the romance of the loft bed and the softest sheets she's ever slept on. We both spent hours in the hot tub every day in the beautiful courtyard, admiring the scented roses and watching the garden birds come and go to their nests. Cupar is 3 minutes drive up the road and St Andrews less than 20. Plenty of options to eat out and walk. We especially enjoyed the swing seat overlooking the fields, where we couldn't stop laughing at how affronted the sheep looked at us swinging there. 5 stars for this lovely place, definitely recommend.

Comfortable and peaceful stay
This lodge is in a lovely quiet area just right outside Cupar. It is down the end of a short single track road which was initially difficult to find but Sue helped us find our way! Sue was there to welcome us on arrival and show us around the cottage. It was a very comfortable stay. The only small issue we had was the toilet flush broke but as soon as we told Sue she was on it to get it fixed as soon as possible. Overall this is a great stay if you're looking for a relaxing time and handy that it is only a 15 min drive into St.Andrews. Would definitely come back again to stay.

A nice cottage near to Cupar
We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was close enough to Cupar so getting into town was easy but also far enough to be a beautiful location. It was a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Very enjoyable
When we arrived we weren't sure where to go as we hadn't received any instructions. However Lynda was there shortly after we arrived and was very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay, the place was exactly as advertised and the use of space was excellent. We enjoyed the hot tub and even when it was stormy outside the location of the hot tub was sheltered and private. We had a small child with us and felt like the place was suitable for us. Thanks for having us.

This cottage is absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. It was such a beautiful setting and so peaceful and quiet. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you will need including a dishwasher. The owner was so lovely and close by so if you need help with anything she is there. The hot tub was great and right outside the bedroom door. The seating area in the courtyard was lovely and a little sun trap too. We definitely hope to return soon.
