A wonderful, comfortable cottage. Beautifully presented with a fabulous view that you can sit and stare at for hours. It is ideal for people with dogs with an enclosed,safe area for toileting and lots of possibilities for dog walking in the local area plus access with a car to fabulous local beaches. It should also appeal to bird watchers with local woodlands and Tentsmuir nature reserve nearby. The hosts couldn’t be more helpful if needed but discreet and allow you to enjoy your holiday however you wish.
