Tom and Karen bought Pinewood in 2011. We love living here and enjoy meeting lots of different and interesting people. We welcome groups who are golfing, cycling and walking and holiday makers from around the world. Every day is an adventure!
We are located on the outskirts of the village of St Michaels. Pinewood sits in a small holding next to the road so you should have no problem finding us. We are close to Tentsmuir Forest and Kinshaldy Beach which has a children's park and some great woodland walks. We are only 10 minutes drive from St Andrews, and in the other direction, Dundee. We offer plenty of parking in the grounds of the house.
