  There was no clear statement that there was no view of harbour or indeed anything worthwhile to look at.

  So it was the sin of omission rather than full honesy. Insulation was poor. The flat heated up quickly but cooled very quickly too. Soundproofing was non existent which meant no privacy at all either in our own flat or the flat next door. We could hear them and undoubtedly they could hear us. There was no view from their flat either. The adjoining flat was accessed by an adjoining door which should have been locked on both sides but not on our side. The sofa bed would not have been very comfortable for two people. The flat would not be suitable for young children with no door at the spiral staircase. Equally it would not suit anyone with mobility difficulties. There were many stairs. The flat was fairly well equipped but the cafitiere was tiny and was hardly suitable for one person never mind four. It was also the same with the teapot which we found eventually. There was no welcome note or instructions, just out of date booklets and leaflets. We received a call from the owner to say that the electricity was going off from 9am until 4pm and that she 'forgot ' to tell us. This left us without heat and lighting, the means to cook and not water all day. If we had been told before leaving home we could have brought thermos flasks. I would advise people to read all the reviews very carefully before booking. I wish we had to save us the disappointment when we arrived. Certainly it is a well presented flat decoratively but featureless.

  The Hayloft is a great location in Pitenweem.

  There's no view of the harbour (the apartment is like a 'rear tenement') but the harbour is right there outside the street door. The apartment is well appointed and a reasonable price. The downsides are: ~ As others have noted, the main living area is dingy and lights are needed during the day. ~ The Hayloft is one of two apartments which are separated by internal doors. This means that if the neighbours are noisy or have children you will hear them as if they are in the next room (or elsewhere in the apartment) - because they are. ~ The wifi is provided by an extension unit and is patchy and drops out altogether (particularly in the evening). My theory is that the router is in the other apartment and that when the neighbours are online, they get first service from the router, leaving little bandwidth through the extension. ~ The combi boiler (situated in the living area) fires up for no reason. My guess is that it serves both apartments, so will grunt and click etc whenever the neighbours turn on taps, shower etc. None of the downsides are significant in themselves but be aware of them when you book.

  We had an amazing holiday at Invermay cottage and the village of Pittenweem.

  The cottage is so cozy, warm and inviting, a real home from home. Kitted out with everything you could possibly need, furnished to a high standard and stunning sea views from every room Jennifer was an amazing. She called before our stay to introduce herself and provided us with information about every aspect of the stay and also the local area. She even made enquiries for us regarding doggy daycare. We arrived to a lovely welcome hamper and thoughtfull essentials already in the cottage which just made the start of the holiday so much more relaxing. I cannot recomend invermay cottage highly enough and will definitely be back again in the future!

  The apartment was absolutely beautiful, the owner Jennifer has furnished the accommodation to an extremely high standard.

  From the living room furnishings to the bedding and accessories. It was great to find new little gems in each room. It was a really cosy house, log burner was fabulous to cosy up to whilst watching the sea. There were sea views from all the rooms. Powerful shower and amazing kitchen facilities. Jennifer contacted me prior to arrival advising on absolutely everything and left a wonderful hamper and also fresh milk, eggs, juice and a selection of cheeses were in the fridge. It is in great location right on the harbour with a bistro, small pub and ice cream shop within minutes. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and will hopefully return.

  A great little apartment but not good of you can't do stairs, several up to the apartment and the spiral staircase inside.

  It was pretty dark inside and we had to have the lights on most of the time. The actual position was great, down the stairs through the little alley and you were right on the harbour which was fabulous. No views from the windows though. No mobile phone signal until we were right at the harbour wall. The wifi was really great though and the apartment had everything you would want. Used the washing machine but the drier didn't work so had to take the load to the launderette for drying. All in all a great little apartment itself, apart from the issues above. Great for a couple but not sure I would want four people there
