Situated within 1.3 km of Kingsbarns Beach and 8.4 km of St Andrews Bay in St Andrews, Off Grid Travel at Cambo Estate features accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the sea and garden.

The Bothy is a great place to relax away from a busy city and enjoy the Scottish countryside and Fife. There were a lot of lovely and thoughtful touches inside the property (like hot water bottles, a hammock and chairs, extra throws and blankets as it can get cold in Fife as well as portable lights and torches and even marshmallows to roast on the fire). Although the Bothy was quite small every inch of it was maximised by having a lot of clever storage spaces incorporated into the furniture. You can tell that most things inside the Bothy were bespoke, like the blinds and furniture, and a lot of thought and care was put into choosing them. What was also great was that we were offered the option to purchase a handmade hamper of local goods by the St Andrews Hamper Co that was delivered to the Bothy prior to our arrival. Overall, it was a great place to visit and we’ve had a lovely time there.

    Easy to walk into the town and parks. Very well lite up at night. within easy walking distance of my family. East and west sand both easily accessible on foot. Good bus service to Dundee. had a good walk along the brae with family and children collecting conkers. The walls in the flat have a host of very interesting photo's of the old St Andrews. Lots of reading material, and plenty of fun games for any children that stay.

    Breakfast was very good. The staff were attentive and very polite. The bathrobes and towels were fluffy. The gym was fantastically equipped and a a nice space overall. Despite a lot of families with small children staying in the hotel, our corridor was very quiet. The view from our room was spectacular. We came for peace and quiet in pleasant surroundings and we definitely got our wish.

    The location was great, it was peaceful and a short drive into St Andrews. It was great to have our own space and the kids toys in the living room went down very well with my children.
