The cottage is described as cosy, comfortable, and ideal for families, with some thoughtful touches like toys and a Christmas tree during the festive season.
Most guests found the cottage very clean, with only one mention of long hairs on bedding which suggests an isolated incident. Overall, the property is well-maintained in terms of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and abundant wildlife. Its proximity to Edinburgh and central location for visiting Fife are also appreciated.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable and cosy, with some guests finding the beds a bit soft and the pillows not to their preference. However, the overall sentiment is positive regarding comfort.
Facilities are good with a well-stocked kitchen and toys for children, but some maintenance issues are noted such as loose tiles, missing window latches, and a sticking bathroom door. No Wi-Fi is a drawback for some guests.
While there are mentions of thoughtful touches like toys and a Christmas tree, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Absolutely stunning views from the house down Edinburgh acros the water. Our budding young farmer loved having acces to the farm to see the cows and watch the tractor at work- although bear in mind since it's immediately next to the barns naturally it was smelly outside. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and the kitchen was well stocked. No wifi but a few tvs and some kids toys provided was a nice surprise.
