I think the only issue would be the potholes in the farm lane which Sam and Mike were very aware of and hoping would be fixed before too long. Visiting as we did during a dry spell when the days are relatively long meant just driving slowly on the holey stretch!

Scooniehill Farmhouse is in the countryside on a hill just a short drive from St Andrews. We had a lovely view from our bedroom over to St Andrews and the sea. The house was full of interesting and quirky items. We liked the map of the UK with bee stickers showing the home towns of the guests (is there a world map somewhere?) The bedroom was well equipped and had a generous hospitality tray. Sam and Mike were friendly, helpful hosts. We had a delicious breakfast.

Nothing You have to have a car as it’s in the countryside.

Sam and Mike are wonderful guests, always eager to provide help and advice. Breakfast are excellent, with eggs so fresh they taste really delicious. The room was very comfortable and well equipped.

The road up to the property!

It was quiet, spacious, decorated to an extremely high standard, there was everything that you could possibly need. The bed, bed linen and pillows were very good quality, we slept well. Toiletries, tea/coffee facilities and snacks were also good quality. Absolutely nothing to fault here, we had a lovely weekend, very well looked after with delicious breakfasts. The attention to detail was second to non.

Rather a rough road off the main road.

Friendly with everything to hand - a really comfortable home from home.

Everything was perfect.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay in this corner of heaven, surrounded by golden fields and pastel colour flowers, waking up to a beautiful view of the sea and enjoying glorious weather. Sam and Mike are excellent hosts, with a genuine passion for hospitality and an artistic sensibility, which is clearly reflected in the beautifully furnished rooms, decorated with great attention to details. The made to order breakfast is truly delicious and includes an assorted variety of options. Their pancakes are unmissable and the Scottish breakfast that they serve is amazing. The rooms are very clean, fully equipped with fridge, tea/coffees facilities and very comfortable beds. Sam and Mike are very knowledgable about the area and provided me with useful info on the events that were taking place in the Fife region during my stay. I was there for wildlife photography but thanks to Sam & Mike I got to know about the local arts festival and it was great to explore the exhibitions and discover so many talented artists after a photoshoot in the nature. A stay in this farmhouse is highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a deeply relaxing time, close to nature, surrounded by inspiring, picturesque sceneries that stimulate creativity.

That we only stayed for 3 nights, wish it was longer!

Mike and Sam, just the most hospitable and friendly people. Always on hand to offer local advice and we even got a life in to town one day when we couldn’t get a taxi. The property is immaculate and the attention to detail is unreal, a proper home from home.

The location, the room and the breakfast were all amazing.

Locationwise it was a bit difficult to get there as there were no buses. It's about a 30 mins walk away from st andrews university, but very accessible by car, so make sure you plan ahead and take weather conditions into account!

The whole experience was amazing and made us feel right at home. Everything tidy and clean to an incredible degree, and every little detail had been looked at, including coffee and snacks in the room! What we were most surprised by was the hospitality of Sam and Mike. They were genuinely caring at everything they did, they were there at every moment, always with a smile and ready to help with anything! The breakfast was also impressive, incorporating local products of great quality and most importantly, it was delicious! We will definitely go back!
