    Very comfortable, lovely welcome pack. The Lodge had everything we needed.

  • Stephen

    Quirky property, we all called it the Gingerbread House, very cosy and comfortable in lovely surroundings. Owner very friendly and helpful.

  • Gordon

    Lovely relaxing holiday in a beautiful cosy building. The owner Julie is lovely and left us a really nice welcome pack. A real home from home for us and our dog. We slept downstairs and the bed was very warm and comfortable and our ten year old loved his room upstairs. Great location for getting round fife and Edinburgh, lots of lovely walks close by. The house has everything you need and a nice enclosed garden for letting your dog out. I would recommend the Gate House for a Fife break and will definitely return in the future.
