Hotels & Hospitality
One of Scotland’s first agri-tourism businesses, Morton of Pitmilly Countryside Resort is set within 150 acres of peaceful farmland and woodland near Kingsbarns, just outside St Andrews.
Offering award-winning accommodation across 16 holiday homes, alongside a wide range of leisure facilities including a swimming pool, sauna, gym, wellness therapies and tennis centre, Pitmilly provides a complete countryside escape for guests seeking relaxation and outdoor experiences.
As guest expectations evolved, the resort partnered with Connekt to introduce on-site EV charging, supporting sustainable travel and enhancing convenience in its rural setting.
With more guests travelling by electric vehicle, Pitmilly had seen a growing number of enquiries about EV charging availability.
Key considerations included:
Given the rural location — with the nearest alternative charging points several miles away — on-site charging was not just a convenience, but an essential addition to the guest experience.
“Our guests have been asking about EV charging at Pitmilly for some time, so we knew it was important to meet this growing demand. We are delighted with the EV chargers installed by Connekt. Despite severe winter weather on the day, the installation was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to our guests and day-to-day operations. The guidance and support provided by Connekt throughout the process has been excellent, making the entire experience smooth and positive. Introducing EV charging at Pitmilly is an important step in strengthening our commitment to sustainability and green tourism in our rural setting. With the nearest alternative charging points several miles away, guests greatly value the convenience of being able to charge on-site. As most stays are for a minimum of two nights, the option of overnight charging is ideal for guests, whilst local visitors appreciate the option of a fast charge top-up.”
