Food can be obtained from the corner shop less than five minutes walk from the apartment or from Tesco, open 7 .00am to 11.00pm (8am to 8pm on Sunday) about ten minutes walk from the apartment, and from lots of outlets in town and surrounding streets. Really desperate, then there is a 24/7 Asda at Halbeath Retail Park about two miles away. The town has numerous cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets, including the inevitable Starbucks, Costa and Cafe Nero to the more interesting unique ones in the museum, Old Fire Station, Alhambra Theatre and Pittencrief Park.

The apartment is just ten minutes walk to the bus/coach station in the town centre and a pleasant 20 minutes walk through the Glen to the train station with its regular service to Edinburgh. As well as Edinburgh, the ancient city of Stirling with its Castle and St Andrews, the home of Golf and ancient university and ecclesiastical town are within easy reach, as are the numerous picturesque fishing villages along the Fife coast, and the towns of Culross, Falkland and Aberdour with which fans of Outlander will already be familiar. There is a regular bus service to Glasgow which takes about 1 hr 15 mins. Loch Leven with its island castle in which Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned, and from which she escaped, is just a short drive away; boat trips to the island across the loch in summer. Dunfermline itself has much to offer with its Abbey, and remains of its Royal Palace the birthplace of Charles, and award winning new museum. As well as the Alhambra there is also Carnegie Hall, and don't forget to visit the Birthplace Museum of its benefactor Andrew Carnegie.

We really enjoyed staying here. Yes, the place is a little outdated in terms of the decor. But, that shouldn't be a concern. After a long day spent doing touristy things, the apartment was just a great space to come back to. We stayed there for five nights and not feeling claustrophobic as was the case in many a hotel was important to us. PLus the owners went out of their way with great, warm, communication. The kitchen might be a little small but it's not light we spent much time there!Location wise, it's a five minute walk from a Tesco and not much further than that to Dunfermline's high street.If you're not precious, this apartment is a nice place to come back to after a full day.

10 night staying a property in Dunfermline, Fife
The property is in a good location with plenty parking. The real disappointment for me is that there is no cooker or oven. There is a microwave, kettle, coffee machine and a casserole electric dish. In the description of the property, it should be made clear there are no cooking facilities apart from the microwave. The property also could do with refreshing it as it is not the cleanest. I would not agree that it is worth the money it is listed at! To end on a positive note, the bed was comfortable

Hi , we are pleased you enjoyed the location of the property and the comfort of the bed. However, it is important to read the description of a property before booking, as our description of the kitchen on Vrbo clearly stated that there was no conventional oven or hob. We said ----: There is a small kitchenette adjacent to the living room containing toaster, kettle, coffee machine and fridge and a microwave for warming up ready made meals etc. There is no conventional oven, or hob! ----
It couldn't be clearer.
