Lovely, quiet and peaceful cottage with great views. It was well equipped and spacious and had everything we needed. Even though it was in the countryside it was ideally situated for places to visit in Fife, e.g St Andrews and Anstruther. Local amenities such Supermarkets and cafes were only a short drive away.We would definitely stay again and would recommend this cottage.

Fairly basic but very roomy with a nice quite location and could do with a t.v. upgrade.

We booked the cottage for a week in May and we had the best time, we have a 2 year old and a 8 week old and our toddler loved the cottage, there was so much room for her to run about and explore and she loved seeing the cows and sheep every day. We have already booked for next year and I’m sure we’ll have just as much fun but with two kids walking about and playing. We can’t wait to go back.
