Points to consider

The road situation was difficult. Parking was on the other side of the road so had to dodge busy traffic to get to car There was no worktop space, the table was broken I would say no to dogs or children

Sehr freundlicher Kontakt. Alles wie beschrieben vorhanden. Man hat hier seine Ruhe und wird auch von den Vermietern in Ruhe gelassen. Für 2 Personen absolut ausreichend und vieles in der nahen Umgebung

I'm not sure what the guest meant by run down town as Dunfermline is usually highly rated by visitors as a well looked historic city. I regret that the guest misinterpreted my reply when they told us they had overslept and asked to leave an hour later than the normal 10am check out. I agreed and asked them to "pack and let us know asap". We had new guests arriving and needed to get ready. I did not and would not ask a guest to get out asap!

A Great Alternative to Edinburgh

This apartment is an economical alternative to the more expensive accommodations in Edinburgh, especially during Festival time. We stayed for two weeks and found getting to and from Edinburgh very easy, with several options – driving and parking (not recommended); taking the train from Dunfermline or Inverkeithing; or crossing the bridge to park at the Ingliston Park and Ride to take the tram to town center. Our hosts, Fanella and Andy, were very gracious, even allowing us to drop our luggage off early as we were headed in to the city for a day before checking in. The apartment is comfortable. There is a well-stocked kitchen, a small eating table in the good-sized living area that directly adjoins the kitchen, a decent size bathroom with a washer/dryer, and a bedroom that opens on to a private backyard. Parking is on the street, but is usually not a problem. Two large supermarkets are within a 15 minute drive and highway connections are nearby.

As always when we stay at Wee Hauf everything is good.

Wee Hauf is perfect for a short or long term holiday, close to places of interest and a short hop over the Forth to Edinburgh. A great place as a base for touring Scotland.

Brilliant property in perfect location!!

Will definitely be coming back to stay again! Such a perfect location for getting everywhere and anywhere! Buses take you everywhere, can get to edinburgh and Glasgow from Halbeath Park and Ride! We had our car so was nice to tootle about and go to places we've never been to before! From the outside the property looks like it will be very small but it is surprisingly spacious!! We were very happy that we could also take our dog with us too and he thoroughly enjoyed his time away! Thank you to Fenella for the warm welcome!
