The cottage is beautiful.
The cottage is beautiful. Very tastefully decorated. Good location. There was only one thing worth mentioning - the freezer is tiny. It’s basically a shelf.

This is a really lovely comfortable apartment, it's decorated very nicely and was spotlessly clean.
This is a really lovely comfortable apartment, it's decorated very nicely and was spotlessly clean. The location is perfect - Anstruther is a very picturesque place and it was so nice to see the sea from the living room window. Thank you also for the milk, biscuits and orange juice which were very much appreciated. If I could make a couple of suggestions - and these are really trivial things, but it would have been nice to have some coat hooks in the hallway and also a dish drainer for the draining board. As I say these are just tiny things - otherwise everything was great and we would like to return, and would definitely recommend to others.

We enjoyed our stay at the sailmakers loft.
We enjoyed our stay at the sailmakers loft. Very comfortable just like home from home. I met the owner when she called to drop off some tea bags and had also left us milk bread scones and jam. We Couldn’t fault the accommodation. Ideally located on the fife coastal path for us to go walking and leave the car behind.
