About this property

Beautifully situated amidst rolling farmland


The ambiance of Bowhouse is beautifully captured in one of its five star reviews :-

"Lovely location with a homely feel
We arrived late at night and didn't really get to see the house until the following morning, when we were very pleasantly surprised by the charming location - horses coming up to chat over the garden walls - the wonderful views from almost every window, and the general homey-ness of the house.
It has clearly been a much loved home and remains a haven, with unexpected nooks, a warm, sun filled conservatory and lovely large open rooms. It was an absolute pleasure to spend a week there, big enough to accommodate our extended family and guests with ease, and a lovely entertaining space also. We enjoyed early morning in the conservatory just as much as late night chats, and the facilities overall entirely met our needs (definitely got value from the dishwasher too!). The children were delighted by a selection of interesting toys and games, and the adults tucked into a wonderfully random collection of books .It is a charming, tucked away location where there is a pervasive sense of peace and quiet which was a very much needed respite".
Bowhouse is a charming 300 year-old farmhouse set in beautiful Scottish countryside. An ideal family accommodation, it’s been tastefully modernised, yet still manages to retain its original character. The rooms are bright, well decorated with many homely touches and tasteful furnishing. All rooms, especially the sun lounge, offer wonderful panoramic views. The large stone walled garden is well maintained with lawns and shrubs and there is secure storage for sports equipment.

Accommodation comprises:

Ground Floor: Lounge with open fire, dining room, library, sun lounge, breakfast kitchen, utility room, bathroom with bidet and shower over bath. There is an electric cooker, oil-fired heating, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and microwave oven. Television, DVD, CD player and Wifi is also installed.

First Floor: One double and two twin bedrooms, spacious shower room.
Bed linen and towels are supplied to guests.

Bowhouse is a wonderful base for exploring the beautiful East Neuk of Fife, with its beaches and quaint fishing villages. There are plenty of golf courses too - St Andrews is about 25 miles away – and sports activities to enjoy. The farmhouse is within easy reach of Edinburgh, the Trossachs, and Stirling. Yet despite Bowhouse’s rural location, it’s less than three miles from the dual carriageway leading to the Scottish motorway system.

Cleanliness has always been a prime consideration with Bowhouse, and that is even more so in the days of covid 19. The house is meticulously cleaned by the local housekeeper between all visits, and the best practices are observed. The ratings given for cleanliness in the guests reviews speak for themselves, emphasising the excellent standard achieved.

Whether you’re looking for a sporting, cultural or relaxing holiday, Bowhouse can help make your stay in Scotland one to remember.

Beautiful and restful
300 year old stone farmhouse in the countryside. Beautiful location in rolling hills with horses crazing. The house is very comfortable with everything we needed, large rooms and a lovely sunroom to enjoy the view with the morning sun.

Fantastic for a family get together
Bowhouse is a beautiful old farmhouse set in a stunning location, it has a lovely energy about it, the house itself is a gem, with lots of little extras, I am an avid reader and love old books so l was very pleased with the collection of books on hand, also a nice selection of games for the kids. The garden is very well maintained and the dogs loved it. All in all, we had a very nice break and would love to visit again sometime when the weather is warmer and we could enjoy the garden and surrounding area at its best.

All good. Just great to be set away from the noise of city living. Bowhouse Farm is very welcoming and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a 4 night break away. We would gladly book again to stay here, without a thought of doubt. Thank you for having us

Lovely secluded house
We had a lovely weekend in this property it had everything you could need also quiet and secluded. The house was nice and warm for our arrival which was lovely as it is winter time! Lots of information for travellers on things to see and do if so desired. Would definitely return to Bowhouse.

Exceptional property and location
My family and I had a wonderful stay in Lochgelly. Beautiful older home full of charm which is well stocked. The home is much larger than we expected with plenty of room for the six of us to stretch out. Also, the location is absolutely stunning with the horses nearby and the rolling countryside. We enjoyed it so much we added an additional night. Highly recommended and look forward to our next stay. Philip

Fabulous location, tired property.
We had a lovely family holiday in a beautiful setting. The house is big and spacious but poorly maintained. The floors are very uneven. The upstairs shower didn’t drain away properly and downstairs shower was a spray. The sitting room furniture is uncomfortable, very old and very low making it difficult to rise from. We didn’t let any of this detract from having a great holiday but it would stop us renting again unless the property was upgraded.
