West Tea House at Melville House Estate – The Open 2027

About this property

West Tea House is a detached property set within the grounds of the Melville House estate at Monimail, near Cupar in Fife. The main Melville House is not included in the rental. Guests have the West Tea House itself, with the wider estate parkland around it. The house sleeps four across two bedrooms. There is one double bedroom with its own en suite shower room and one large king size bedroom served by the bathroom on the first floor. Downstairs, there is a generous sitting room with leather seating and a television, along with a dining kitchen with an oven, hob and space for the group to eat together. The property also retains character features including an exposed stone wall beside the staircase. The setting is quiet and rural, in Monimail in the Howe of Fife, surrounded by open countryside and estate woodland. Cupar is the nearest principal town, with shops, restaurants and a railway station. St Andrews is within easy driving reach. Other golf in the wider area includes Cupar Golf Club, Ladybank Golf Club, Elmwood Golf and Kingarrock Hickory Golf. Falkland and Falkland Palace are also nearby for guests who want to explore the area. Edinburgh Airport is around an hour away by road, depending on traffic. West Tea House is available for The Open at St Andrews from 11 to 18 July 2027 at £9,000 for the week. It is well suited to a group of four or two couples who want private accommodation in a peaceful estate setting.
