About this property
The Beehouse, Secret Rural Gem close to St Andrews golf courses and beaches
The Beehouse is a beautifully presented three bedroom house located just a short drive from the historic burgh of St Andrews, famous for its world class golf courses and stunning beaches. The property forms part of a recently converted steading building adjacent to the owners' home; with three double bedrooms (one downstairs) and three bathrooms it is ideal for families, golfers and couples alike. The house was completed in August 2012 and retains many original features including a quirky backdrop to the woodburning stove in the living room; recessed stone 'beeboles' where old-fashioned straw beehives were over-wintered. The Beehouse enjoys breathtaking south-facing views across arable farmland and woodland and is in a very peaceful private location. There is a patio area accessed from the open plan living/dining/kitchen area and an area of garden for use of guests. Well behaved pets are welcome by arrangement with the owners and at a nominal fee of £25 per pet.

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Logan
Guy & Elizabeth Logan are owners of The Beehouse, and live in Dairsie Manse which is just adjacent with our two sons; Tom and Bruce, our Labrador Tess and cat Milo . We bought Dairsie Manse in 2003 and fully renovated the 200 year old Georgian property to form a wonderful family home. In 2012 we developed the steading building which was a set of 'outbuildings' used to service the Manse in its day; coach house, wash room, stables, cattle stalls & hayloft. The Beehouse forms part of this conversion. Guy is from Fife, Elizabeth is a newcomer (of 20 years) from London, Sydney & USA. Both boys were born here.
Why they chose this property
We bought our property here for the excellent quality of life, beautiful views & peace & tranquility as well as close proximity to St Andrews & the sea.
What makes this property unique
A holiday at The Beehouse will give you a super luxurious base from which to discover the wonders of St Andrews and Fife & beyond. Come and cosy up by the wood burner in the colder months or enjoy the stunning view from sunny south facing patio. You can wander around our beautiful garden & meet the chickens, our dog & cat.
