The cottage was absolutely beautiful inside and out, with a comfy, cosy aesthetic that made our week long stay an absolute dream. The spacious garden was ideal for the dog during rainy days and when the sun was out the closeness to Aberdour beach meant that we make rapid use of it. We will be definitely booking again to experience the cottage in the summer.

An interesting little cottage in an amazing place, I loved the fact that all the essential housekeeping items were available but sometimes in unexpected places e.g. the ironing board in a wardrobe.The garden was large enough for my Great Dane and Scottie to play freely and it was a comfort to know that they were secure.I would happily return .....

We loved the fact that this was a really cosy and welcoming cottage with great views and well placed. The secure garden was great for the dogs and being so rural meant that we didn’t have to worry about the dogs barking and annoying the neighbours. Well equipped with a lovely welcoming pack.
