We stayed here for a few nights with our dog. The cottage was perfect, so cosy and clean, Jackie and Alan have really thought of everything or us and the dog.Local amenities aren’t too far away which is great and a Spar and friendly local pub are on the same road.We walked into the neighbouring town of Falkland where there is a delicious bakery, highly recommend.We would absolutely come and stay here again when visiting Scotland.

Cottage was lovely, extremely clean, tidy & fully equipped. There was a great welcome pack, general supplies & we wanted for nothing. We met a number of locals, especially in the pubs, and we were made extremely welcome, a very friendly place. Great location for the area. Highly recommended. I would be nit-picking to find a fault, but the only negative, (not to be unexpected at such a historical location - old linen works), is that the off street dedicated parking spot is a short walk along a path, not ideal in freezing weather with baggage, but not really a problem, at least there is a safe parking spot. With lots of places to visit it's not always likely that we would revisit, but I would have no hesitation in staying here again. Thank you for a great stay, (for my wife's birthday)
