Fabulous cottage tucked away in a small village, with a lovely local pub and a nearby loch for a nice walk. The house was well looked after and very well stocked with not just the essentials but some nice added extras. The welcome basket was a nice additional touch. The area is close to beautiful beaches and we had a lovely time visiting nearby places such as Elie and st Andrew's.

Lovely cottage, nicely located in quiet village. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable.Only downside was the mess in next door neighbours garden. Noone living there and very unsightly.

Very comfortable stay at well appointed and equipped cottage in a beautiful location. The beds were extremely comfortable and with the wood burner very cosy and warm. Would recommend to family and friends and would book again in the future.
