Unforgettable Family Holidays in St Andrews
New born lamb
Where kids explore, parents relax, and memories are made.
Looking for a family holiday in Scotland that everyone will genuinely enjoy? At St Andrews Coach Houses, families experience more than just a stay – they discover the joy of life on a working farm, with space to explore, animals to meet, and luxury self-catering accommodation to call home.
A Magical Farm Stay for Kids & Parents Alike
Where else can your child wake up to the sound of sheep baaing outside the window? Our young guests love meeting our animals, watching the tractors go by, and learning about real farm life – and parents love the peaceful setting, modern comforts, and easy access to St Andrews and the coast.
We also have a spacious Activity Barn on site, so when you get home from the beach or touring, the kids can burn off some extra energy playing a variety of games!
When asking Abby (age 4), one of our young guests this summer, what she enjoyed best about her holiday, she said:
“The best part of the holiday was staying at the Coach Houses, meeting lambs and feeding all the animals!”
That says it all. 😊
Where else do you get the chance to wake up in the morning and gaze out over green fields with sheep baahing just outside your window?

The children love to see all the animals and for many of them it is their first experience of being up close and personal with any farm animals. Also if any of our guests have any questions regarding the farm we are more than happy to discuss these and explain a bit about the farming calendar.
Hands-On Farm Experiences – Year-Round
Every season on the farm brings something new and exciting for children and curious grown-ups:
-
🌱 Spring – It’s lambing time! Watch our adorable pedigree Zwartbles lambs play and explore the paddocks. Come and watch the lambs gallop round the paddock!
-
☀️ Summer – See sheep shearing in action, spot wildlife, and watch Farmer John harvest the wheat and oats with his combine.
-
🍂 Autumn – Time for ploughing and planting. Learn how we prepare the land for the next season’s crops.
📸 There’s always a photo opportunity, and we’re happy to answer questions about the farm and the animals – it’s a great way for kids to learn through experience.
Come and have a chat with Farmer John and let him tell you a little about life as a farmer!
