Beautifully designed old horse mill. Immaculately clean and well equipped. Great communication from the host with some useful tips for a great stay. The location was very peaceful but not too far from local amenities (Ladybank is about 20 minutes walk through the woods and Cupar is a short drive away). It was so quiet I could hear leaves falling from the trees.The bed was very comfortable and we loved the wood burner. There is a sheltered enclosed courtyard garden to the rear of the property - we managed to sit out in October - and another garden with seating at the front.There are plenty of woodland walks from the door.This is a great place for a chilled out break.
