The village also has its own primary school, with secondary schooling in St. Andrews and Anstruther. In addition, a short ten minute walk from the village is a blue flag awarded beach. Every year the Dunhill Championship comes to the Old Course at St. Andrews as well as numerous ladies & junior championships which continue throughout the year. The area around Kingsbarns is also blessed with many other superb championship courses including Kingsbarns itself, used as part of the Dunhill Championship and for qualifying for the Open itself.

St. Andrews is also world famous for its university, now famed as the meeting place of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Tourists are drawn to this part of Scotland not only for the golf but for the many picturesque quaint fishing villages and harbours located in the East Neuk of Fife. Notably Elie, Anstruther and Crail which are also regarded as some of the favoured spots in the area.

The business has been run by our clients for the last 7 years. Our clients are experienced hoteliers and caterers originally from Edinburgh. They successfully ran a number of high-quality guest house/B&B establishments and latterly a 20 bedroomed hotel in Edinburgh and have taken their skills to professionalise, upgrade and renovate this business over the last 7 years. The current owners are now approaching their retirement and wish to sell in order to fulfil this.

The business is run by a husband and wife team with the assistance of part time members of staff. It is strongly felt that this business would suit a couple or a partnership team/family as well as a chef proprietor who may wish to establish their credentials in one of the true “honeypot” locations in Scotland.

Equally the business trades exceptionally well in its current format as a hotel and house.

The business and subjects are offered on a freehold basis.
