Designed by the legendary Clive Clark, it seamlessly combines the classic Scottish links experience with dramatic elevations and a modern risk-reward playoff. All of this is set against a backdrop of stunning coastal views across the Firth of Forth. At Balcarres, we merge timeless traditions with progressive practices, welcoming guests from all corners of the globe to experience the harmony of heritage, sustainability, and world-class golf.
Far and away the best stay I've ever experienced worldwide during my extensive travels. Alexander, our host, was genuinely welcoming and extremely responsive. He went out of his way to arrange a private tour of their conservation programs and apiaries for my daughter with the wonderful Mr. Scott Herd. The cottage is stunningly appropriated and decorated with beautiful modern amenities cleverly settled and dressed as rustic. Even the water was a dream being both clean as bottled and great pressure as well. Every possible convenience or need was thought out and readily available at this wonderful place which was undersold in its description. The reality of which is true serenity and bliss. Life, like our time on the Balcarres Estate is too short, but we will be back someday and with full hearts do recommend you book your own stay here and now.
We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at the East Lodge Cottage. It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Our dog Alfie loved exploring the beautifully kept garden. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. It was a great location for exploring the East Neuk. The host Alexander was extremely responsive when we had questions, and even checked in on us after the first night. Definitely recommend.
Perfection all around! Stunning views. A hike up to the old castle is a must! Absolutely loved it.
Lovely cottage, really enjoyed the glass garden room. Would definitely come back and stay again.
I can’t recommend the East Lodge highly enough. Beautiful decor and so well supplied in terms of high quality toiletries, towels and linen. Having a bath in the gorgeous copper bath was a highlight. I love cooking and the stylish green kitchen was well supplied with good cookware. It’s easy to reach the pretty surrounding East Neuk villages and towns. The estate itself has lovely gardens which were coming into their own in early Spring. They don’t stint on central heating. The place was continuously cosy despite pretty rainy cold weather outside. Kindling, fire starters and ample logs were kindly provided fir the gorgeous stove. We want to come back this summer to enjoy all the beautiful outdoor seating areas!
Set amongst the beauty of the East Neuk, The East Lodge is the perfect home to explore this corner of Scotland. St Andrews is a mere 18 minutes away, with Elie just a 7-minute drive and the esteemed Kineuchar Inn is a short 3-minute drive away. Getting here is easy with Edinburgh Airport only an hours drive and our local station Leuchars a convenient 25-minute drive.
