We moved to St Andrews in 2015 from the south of England and are enjoying life living near the sea and such a beautiful town. I come from a background in fashion and design and love what Fife has to offer for the arts and Alan is an avid golfer with a passion for the garden. We love walking by the sea and inland in the hills and are delighted with the wildlife that surrounds our peaceful cottage. We keep honey bees in the garden and are keen to encourage both them and wild bees and try to plant with them in mind. Vegetables are a challenge with our rabbit population! When we do not have bed and breakfast guests the house is usually filled with family and friends who come to visit and play golf. We love meeting our varied British and international guests and hope to enhance their Scottish experience.
