Great breakfast and the host was amazing (local knowledge and friendly)

Miranda United Kingdom

Knock hill Farm was the most enjoyable, great views, delicious breakfast, beautiful &'very comfortable accommodations, & our hostess & host, Linda & Peter were the best!! Would definitely stay again on a return to St. Andrews.

Mary United States of America

Linda was so kind and gave us wonderful suggestions for the next leg of our trip. The room was bigger than we expected (even as Americans) and the breakfast made with care. Thoughtful decor in the room, such as good lighting, made our stay even more comfortable. Highly recommend this lovely farm. We appreciate all you do Linda! 🤗

Karen United States of America

Linda was charming and so helpful. It was the most beautiful bed and breakfast I have ever stayed at... beauty surrounds the view and it was so clean and I would recommend anyone to come and experience Scotland’s hospitality here at this beautiful country farm!!!💕❤️👍👍👍

Cynthia United States of America

Stunning vistas, close to St. Andrews and Cupar train station. Owner and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Spacious accommodations and great breakfast. First-rate all around.

Anonymous United States of America

The room was very large, with a lovely seating area with views out over the valley to the hills and sea. The bedroom is on a raised mezanine which is also very big, with an extra large king size bed. Very comfortable and lovely and clean. The breakfast was very nice and all cooked to order, so lovely and fresh. Great toast!

Ian United Kingdom

Although not your traditional bed and breakfast the individual rooms are beautifully presented and much more private. The hosts and staff were extremely welcoming and friendly

Christine United Kingdom

The whole place was amazing everyone who worked there was very friendly and could not do enough for you even bring you home baking to your room. The accommodations was roomy, comfortable done to a high standard and very clean. Will return again and will recommend it

Norma United Kingdom

The host Linda was extremely gracious and helpful. I highly recommend KnockHill Farms. The location is near to St Andrews and is great hiking and biking is just outside your door. The local tavern is great for dinner.

Sarah United States of America

Fabulous accomodation. Did not expect the room or the fabulous views. Great breakfast. Very good pub down the road. Would stay here again and for longer.
