Welcome to Holly Tree Cottage
 Holly
Tree Cottage is a newly refurbished (2004) traditional cottage situated
by the village green in the quiet and picturesque village of Upper
Largo. There is a secluded, landscaped garden to the rear with a
patio and garden furniture.
The village is sheltered by the old volcanic mound of
Largo Law to the North and is connected by a Woodlands Trust walk, the
Serpentine, to Lower Largo, Largo Bay, the Coastal Path and the beach.
Walkers and nature lovers also enjoy Keil's Den (Woodland's Trust) close
by. Largo Law (967 feet) provides a more challenging walk but is worthwhile
for the wonderful views.
Upper Largo (also known as Kirkton of Largo) is centred
on the old Church which was consecrated in 1243 and sits high on a grassy
knoll by the village green.
 The
village has a grocery shop, post office and a hotel with a popular
restaurant. Other shops are a short distance away in Lundin Links
(1 mile) or Leven (3 miles) The location is ideal for exploring St Andrews and the
East Neuk villages. Edinburgh, Stirling and Perth are an hours drive away
and Glasgow and Aberdeen 2 hours away.
Fife has 45 golf courses - all within easy reach and including
those in St Andrews, the Home of Golf. Lundin Links, less than a mile
away, boasts 2 courses - Lundin Golf Club - used as a qualifying course
for the Open and the very unique Lundin Ladies Golf Club - the oldest
ladies only club in the world. (Men are welcome to play there!) The ladies
course is 9 holes, very picturesque and has standing stones as an unusual
hazard on the second hole.
