- Modern and luxurious shepherds huts with exclusive-use barbecues
For a peaceful Kingdom of Fife countryside break with a large dollop of luxury and lots of stylish, designer-y touches included, head for the snazzy shepherd’s huts at Capledrae Farm. They're roughly half an hour’s drive from St Andrews, Perth and Edinburgh, and around 10 minutes will get you to walking and cycling routes, so you’ll certainly never be short of things to see and do.
The smart wooden huts are well insulated and – thanks to central heating and underfloor heating – very cosy, so you’ll stay warm in any chilly Scottish weather. Each one sleeps up to four and has an individual design, with bespoke artworks and pretty furnishings, double beds and ensuites with powerful showers.
Spick-and-span kitchens are fully equipped with a hob and microwave, all the necessaries for rustling up simple meals, and a welcome pack of complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits, bread and butter to get you going on arrival. If you feel the need to get grilling, simply head right next door to your private-use barbecue hut, with comfy seating around a firepit – all utensils and charcoal supplied.
Pick up provisions for said barbecue in Lochgelly (10 minutes’ drive), where there are also a few pubs and takeaways.
As the shepherd’s huts are on a working farm with cattle and horses, dogs are not permitted on site.

Local attractions
If you’re staying local to get active, there are family-friendly hikes around the water’s edge at Lochore Meadows (10 minutes’ drive), as well as a golf course and fishing pontoons. Dedicated hikers may choose to access the Fife Pilgrim Way at Crosshill (five minutes) as it wends its way north to St Andrews, cycling families can follow the looped Old Railway Track Trail (15 minutes), and horse riding is available within five minutes’ drive.
You can also gallop on horseback along the West Sands beach in St Andrews (half an hour), stalk the ghost in the romantic ruins of the cathedral and explore the waterside castle. The lively town of Perth (also half an hour) is known for its concert hall and theatre, and is gateway to landmarks including late-medieval Huntingtower Castle (half an hour) and Scone Place (the former coronation site of Scots kings, 35 minutes).
Family days out in Edinburgh (half an hour) could include a stroll up the historic Royal Mile to the Castle and a picnic in leafy Princes Street Gardens, while arty types should take a look at the masterpieces in the Scottish National Gallery or have a stroll around the elegant Georgian architecture of the New Town.
