It was absolutely spotless when we got there and there was even a little gift waiting for us as newlyweds which was so lovely! My husband is over 6ft tall but was still comfortable walking around upstairs in the eves. The bed was comfortable and bed sheets were lush too (I actually had a snoop at what brand they were so I could purchase some!) We had the log burner on most nights and made use of the beautiful bath tub - itâs a stunning feature! Parking was a dream and there was lots to do in the village! Helenâs Bakery do AMAZING pies and breakfast sandwiches, and Campbells was lovely for lunch! Falkland Palace was a stones throw from Dunira and we spent a lovely couple of hours there wandering about. We drove to Ladybank to catch the train into Edinburgh as we were told it was a pain to park in Edinburgh. The train was only an hour and was £20 return for both of us. We also drove to Glenrothes to have a mooch round the shopping centre and do a bit of food shopping (thereâs Aldi, Marks and Spencer, Asda etc). We will absolutely be booking another stay in the summer!

It is situated in the middle of a lovely village on a quiet road. The characterful cottage has been beautifully renovated and decorated. It is very well equipped. Comfortable bed and amazing bath. Falkland is a lovely place with lots of forest walks on the estate very close to the cottage. We enjoyed the thoughtful touches of mini Christmas tree and fairy lights (stayed in December). We would highly recommend staying here.
