About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A large artistic, quiet flat within a converted Scottish chapel

The apartment ranges over two floors. The ceilings are high with two tall church windows letting in plenty of light to the high ceiling living room. The chapel has two dedicated bedrooms offering comfortable king-size beds. But you can choose to sleep on a king bed sitting on a mezzanine floor overlooking the lounge.

The property has its own private entry and outside parking just outside. The quirky layout of the building and its double height ceiling is enhanced by its theatrical interior designed by your host Jeanette, a textile artist, hat and theatre costume designer.

The chapel offers you the space you need to relax and get away from it all. It sits in the quiet town Newburgh with its view over the Tay and its many beautiful walks - perhaps ambling beside the River Tay or taking a more vigorous walk into the surrounding hills.

30 minutes drive away is the town of Falkland, well known for Falkland Palace. Build in the early 1500, this royal dwelling was once the country residence of the Stewart kings and queens as they hunted in the nearby forests. A short distance to the west is another beautiful old town St Andrews, the home of golf and one of the oldest universities in Scotland. South from the town is East Neuk, the Fife Kingdom's coastal region with its old fishing villages and stunning views of the Firth of Forth.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Fife Coastal Path. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • The apartment offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a sofa bed
  • Free WiFi
  • 13 minutes by foot from Fife Coastal Path and a 2-minute drive from Lindores Abbey

Friendly Host But A Bit of a Weird Vibe
When I first saw this place on VRBO I was excited, being a former pastor. The host was very nice and flexible with us when our arrival time was delayed. However, we both felt a little uneasy. The walkway back to the entrance is a little odd. I wouldn't have wanted to walk it after dark. It's hard to put a finger on, but I just couldn't completely relax. The seating wasn't great for watching TV for two people, and the kitchen was pretty outdated. There's a lot of stuff, and the decor was a little cluttered. I really don't want to give the wrong impression. It may be just the right fit for a lot of folks, and you couldn't find a more likable owner. It's not a fancy place but it is centrally located to Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, and Perth. If you're looking for a place to be able to visit many of Scotland's attractions, this is a good choice.
