A lovely little cottage that was perfect for us. It was a little difficult to find, it looked as though it was someone's garden path from the street. Very quiet and an idyllic setting. There's a well stocked Spar j6st along the road and a pub ( no food( there too) The Indian restaurant only opens on a Friday and has to be booked ( we mised out but will know for future visits) our only minor complaint was the recycling bins, none were marked for Horseshoe and we weren't sure if we were meant to use the tubs in the back garden. As I say, a very minor negative vastly outweighed by the positives.

Horseshoe cottage is a delight. It was a pleasure to stay there. It is so quiet and comfortable and has everything you will need. The neighbours are lovely and friendly. Should you need help with anything Jackie and Alan are always available to chat to. There are a number of interesting places to visit, like Loch Leven, St Andrews, Falkirk, Falkland etc. Would highly recommend staying here.
