East Cottage - Tarvit is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, tranquil location, and cosy comfort. The property's beautiful grounds and proximity to local amenities are frequently mentioned, alongside the welcoming staff. While some minor maintenance issues and a lack of inventory detail were noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, making it a recommended stay for visitors to Cupar.
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, there was an isolated report of unsatisfactory cleanliness, which seems to be an exception rather than the norm.
The location is consistently praised for its tranquillity, beautiful grounds, and convenience for shopping and eating out. Its proximity to local attractions and the peaceful setting contribute to its high rating.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, with a warm welcome and a relaxing atmosphere. Some guests mentioned issues with hard mattresses and the property being cold upon entry, slightly affecting the comfort score.
The facilities are generally appreciated, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and easy-to-use appliances. However, points were deducted for maintenance issues such as a problematic bathroom sink, TV reception, and a leaking boiler.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
A charming single-storey cottage nestled on the grounds of the National Trust for Scotland’s Hill of Tarvit Mansion, East Cottage is the perfect choice for a tranquil family holiday to the region of Fife. Originally built for the estate workers and gardeners, this Edwardian dwelling is set within its own enclosed garden near to the estate's original stable block, offering historic excitement around every corner. Be welcomed into this traditional home from home after a day outdoors and settle within the sitting room, where two sofas rest alongside a warming woodburning stove, perfect for a winter's eve with loved ones. Come together around the dining table within the kitchen/diner, where you’ll find a fitted kitchen holding all the appliances needed to rustle up home cooked meals. The single-storey layout of the cottage lends itself well to those with limited mobility, with all three bedrooms resting on the ground floor; choose from either two delightful double bedrooms or the equally attractive single room, all served by the family bathroom, which includes a bath and an overhead shower.

Great walks from the property. Snow drops in woodland stunning. Nearby Cupar had good restaurants and all shops needed. Train service to Edinburgh convenient, An hour or less to Waverly, Coastal villages and walking half an hours drive.
