What a charming cottage. So very nicely decorated with a lot of thought. Had absolutely everything you need for a short or long stay. Quality of furnishing, bedding, towels for the amazing bathroom. Cathy kept in touch from when we booked with all the info to let ourselves in etc. Area is quiet and has a grocery store as well as some breakfast areas nearby. Beautiful walks along the coastal route to St Monans and Anstruther and down to the harbour. We didn’t have a car but bus service is available. Not sure of local parking. Lovely friendly locals.

We had a really lovely time and we couldn’t fault anything! The cottage was extremely well equipped and it was just like home from home! Including a wood burning stove! Communication with the host was excellent and we will most certainly return for another stay. The property is set in a beautiful area with lots of places to visit within a short walking or driving distance and a great area for dog walking too.
