By Train + Bus/Taxi (Public Transport)
Because Hawkswood Country Estate is rural and not directly on a mainline, the nearest railway stations are Cupar and Leuchars.
From Edinburgh Airport: Take airport tram/bus to city (or rail hub), then train to Cupar or Leuchars. From Cupar or Leuchars, need to get a taxi to Hawkswood Country Estate. Taxi services are recommended (especially outside frequent bus times). From a nearby town (e.g. St Andrews) you could first get to St Andrews then take a bus or taxi to Hawkswood Country Estate.

Booked for a weekend joint birthday celebrations and a wonderful stay from beginning to end. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in on the Friday evening at the beautiful dining table followed by an evening dip in the hydro spa.
After our refreshing cold dip from the beach in St Andrews it was back to The Roundel to get ready for our lunch out. John kindly drove us door to door service for our lunch and transfer back followed by a more relaxing Saturday evening in the upper floor lounge.
This property was absolutely spotless, you would think we were the first ever guests.
Beautiful and highly recommend to all.

A great property for a family get together. Very spacious accommodation. All bedrooms with ensures was lovely for everyone. The giant hot tub was terrific for relaxing plus inside bonus of huge jacuzzi bath. The short golf course was super fun for adults and kids alike and the driving range was well used too.
Very high quality furniture and fittings.

An outstanding property in an excellent location.
Huge attention to detail throughout and as a golfer it was nice to hit some balls literally on the doorstep.
We’ll definitely be back and couldn’t recommend this place highly enough for those looking for peace in quiet with a spot of luxury.

Situated approx 15 mins drive from St Andrews, the location is simply stunning. We chose to stay in The Roundel which was cosy, comfortable and immaculately clean. Can't fault Mary-Jo and John on service and communication. John was kind enough to taxi us in the mini bus to and from St Andrews when we ventured out for dinner on Saturday evening - a friendly and efficient service as always. The on-site facilities deserve their 5 stars...everything you need is available to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. We particularly enjoyed the use of the hot tub and, despite the weather, the boys even managed to fit in a few rounds on the putting green before we left. Thank you so much, we are already planning our next trip back.
