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.

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.

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!!

Excellent Property
We really enjoyed our time at the Forgan Cottage. Patricia was an excellent host who was very responsive from booking all the way through check out. The property is very clean and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. Although the garden area looks great, we were not able to enjoy it because of the weather. The property is very conveniently located and easy to find. Once in St Andrews, you rarely require a car since South, Market and North Streets are all within 5-10 minute walks. There you will find many coffee shops, restaurants and bars. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who is considering a visit to St Andrews.

Stunning accommodation in St Andrews
I stayed here recently for a business golf trip to St Andrews. The communication with the owner in advance of our stay was first class. She provided us with all the information we needed to check in smoothly and was quick to respond to a few questions I had. The cottage is absolutely stunning, the rooms are huge and extremely comfortable. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The huge converted basement is ideal for storage, and the garden is the perfect outdoor space to relax. The cottage is only 10 mins walk to the Old Course and the centre of town. I would highly recommend this accommodation if you are looking for a place in St Andrews. We will definitely be back. ★★★★★

Fantastic Time At Forgan Cottage
We had a fantastic time in St. Andrews and our stay at Forgan cottage. The Graham’s are excellent hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay a very memorable one. The cottage is in an excellent location (easy walking to Attractions and Pub’s) within the town of St. Andrews. It is very nicely decorated and very comfortable as it has been totally refurbished. We are looking forward to staying at Forgan cottage during our next visit to St. Andrews.

Return to St Andrews
We really enjoyed our stay at Forgan Cottage. The house was very comfortable and beds wonderful. Kitchen was small but still very functional. A lovely back garden beautifully planted, so pretty. Location was good for the town but like everywhere in st Andrew’s parking is a challenge. The owner was always available when we needed her. Would like to return.
