Location on the Fife Coastal Path and walks/cycle routes from the door are the reason to stay. Easy to travel to Dundee, St Andrews and lots of history in the surrounding area. Property itself was ok as a base. About 30 yards down the side of the pub to reach it from on road parking. No noise from the pub. Kitchen well.equipped. Main disappointment was the bedroom. Bed was uncomfortable and the duvet cover didn’t seem to fit properly and I woke up with it twisted around my feet. The bedroom window could benefit from vertical blinds as every time you want to change you have to draw the curtains.

The location was just lovely being there. The view is quite amazing from the lounge and the name of the cottage is perfect just loved it. Most of what is needed is there in the cottage and everything is very comfortable. We had our wee dog and he loved the window to look out.There was lots of wee walks around the village. A couple of nice coffee shops. Our highlight was visits to Cobbies an excellent place for great food and the locals very friendly. This was just behind our property so great as well.The caretakers and owners are very attentive if any problems when needed.
