Set within the historic Rossie Estate, the cottage sits only moments from the remarkable Walled Garden at Backhouse Rossie, where every guest enjoys free entry. Here you’ll also find a beautifully designed labyrinth, not a maze with branching paths, but a single, continuous route used since ancient times for reflection, renewal, and spiritual transformation. Medieval monks once walked labyrinths on their knees as an act of penance, symbolising the journey from burden to clarity. The estate’s long-standing tradition of storytelling adds an extra layer of charm: generations ago, brothers Thomas and James Backhouse created garden paths for a local museum whose zoo housed everything from a swan to a python, and even a “Big Bear” who was known to pull faces and chase visitors. Lonely for his family, he was eventually rehomed to London Zoo in 1831, where it was hoped a change of scenery might brighten his spirits.

Visitors can also wander the Woodland Walk, admire ancient beech and oak trees, spot red squirrels, and explore the atmospheric Tomb Wood. From April to September, the Backhouse Kitchen offers seasonal dishes made from estate-grown produce, homemade baking, and barista coffee.

Garden View Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Kingdom of Fife, from the sandy beaches and harbours of the East Neuk to the iconic streets and golf heritage of St Andrews. Edinburgh lies within easy reach, offering a wealth of history, culture, and world-class dining, making the cottage an exceptional base for coast, countryside, and city adventures.
