Hilton has been in the family since the 1940s, and we live in the main house. The property is surrounded by our arable land and our neighbours fruit farm. Please feel free to walk around the edges of the fields where you will often see horses being ridden from our livery yard. We launched the 3 properties in 2025 after extensive renovations, and we are thoroughly enjoying the challenge of a new enterprise.

Fife is and incredibly easy place to live in Scotland, being only 10 miles from the coast, 9 miles from St Andrews, the home of golf and an hour's train journey into the centre of Edinburgh. The Scottish Highlands can be reached within 1.5 hrs, so there are a huge number of options for entertainment.

It is well equipped and both the Super King bed and the King bed can be separated into single beds. In addition to the bathroom, there is another WC beside the front door.
