1 / 24Bruntshiels Byre
Ceres, Fife
A five star byre conversion for six near Ceres in Fife with an Aga, a sunroom, a mezzanine lounge with balcony and a spacious enclosed garden, two dogs welcome.
An Aga anchors the kitchen at Bruntshiels Byre, and the rest of the conversion keeps up with it: a five star, three bathroom byre for six in the countryside outside Ceres, dog friendly with two dogs welcome and a spacious enclosed garden to hand them. St Andrews is up the road, but the byre makes staying in feel like the plan.
The rooms keep coming. A lounge with a wood burner, a sunroom with floor to ceiling glass onto the garden, a dining space off the kitchen, and up the stairs a mezzanine second lounge with its own burner and a balcony over the garden and the fields. Two king size bedrooms and a twin that links into a third share the three bath and shower rooms, so nobody queues. The dog beds go by the Aga, obviously.
It suits two couples, or a family who like their comfort properly done and travel with dogs that expect the same. The garden gives them ground and a secure boundary, the lanes around the byre give the gentle morning circuit, and Ceres, a conservation village that hosts Scotland's oldest highland games, is the sort of place a dog gets known in by Wednesday.
St Andrews and the West Sands are 6 miles away, the East Neuk fishing villages and the Fife Coastal Path a little further, and Tentsmuir's forest backed sand makes the big dog outing. Between beach, coast path and farm lanes, the week runs out before the walks do.
