Wonderland Cottage receives high praise for its unique, quirky charm and thoughtful personal touches. Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, stunning bathroom, and the enchanting garden. The host, Stella, is frequently commended for her warmth and helpfulness. The property's location in Cupar is appreciated for its proximity to local amenities and scenic walks, despite some comments about limited parking and village facilities.
Most guests found the cottage to be spotless and well-maintained, with only a few isolated comments about cobwebs and outdoor tidiness. The overall impression is of a clean and inviting environment.
The location is generally well-regarded for its convenience and proximity to shops, takeaways, and scenic walks. However, some guests noted the main street's appearance and limited parking as minor drawbacks.
Guests frequently compliment the comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere of the cottage. There are occasional remarks about the sofa's comfort and the steepness of the stairs, but overall, the cottage is seen as a relaxing retreat.
While the unique decor and facilities like Sky TV, a well-equipped kitchen, and a secure garden for pets are praised, there are mixed comments about the maintenance of the garden and some appliances. Due to the lack of consistent information on the state of facilities and maintenance, a definitive score cannot be provided.
The host's thoughtfulness is a highlight, with many guests mentioning the warm welcome and personal touches such as scones and treats. It's noted that these kind gestures greatly enhance the stay, although they may vary and are not guaranteed.

However I was very apprehensive before arriving. As two days before our holiday I had checked in a couple of their listings to see if there was a hairdryer only to see that they don't allow children. In panic I checked my booking to make sure I had booked for 2 adults and 2 children and our dog . Which I had so this must of changed since I booked it . Which made me nervous why this might have been . When we arrived the host was in the garden , Stella was lovely but explained their private garden was at the back of our holiday home garden which the had to go though to gain access. She also explained that they had a wedding in there next week on our exit day so there would be coming and goings which shouldn't bother us . We got into our home and I could see why the rule on children had been changed . The photos of wonderland cottage on all booking sites we're not how the living room is now . There are a lot more breakables and it is a lot darker now . The garden was beautiful but it was just a shame we could not feel at ease to enjoy it and relax as a family . When we have been in previous holidays all over Scotland we book homes that we can enjoy the garden as it's a privilege to us . There was coming and goings everyday . Even once my husband put the dog out before bed at nearly 1am and Stella and her husband was there . I would have got such a scare . I fully understand they had a lot to do for the up coming event however i think when you are having your only family holiday of the year we should have been notified of what was going on and had the option to cancel with full refund prior so we could seek alternative accommodation, I understand the garden needs maintenance but everyday was a bit too much . To go out and enjoy the day we felt we had to leave the property which cost more money with children. I would have totally understood if this had been explained before our holiday. The cottage should have never been booked out on the run up to such an event . Also it should be more clear on the description on the booking sites of the how much access they have through the garden to their private area . And yes some people are fine with engaging with the hosts but that not for us . We love to escape as a family and feel free to enjoy each other's company and enjoy our property. Our dog only ever barks at the windows so when people were passing to go to the garden she was reactive. We had to close the curtains through the day to stop this from happening . Stella did come with wine and chocolates for the inconvenience. It felt wrong taking the wine knowing how I felt about our stay so I did leave it but it was a lovely gesture. Wonderland is a lovely place and Stella is also lovely but unfortunately it's not the type of stay we were expecting and we usually love our very precious family weeks break . Just wish we could have gotten to fully enjoy the garden as it is lovely. But for us sitting as a family having a BBQ with people passing and looking on is just not for us so did not manage to to that . So we have came home feeling rather cheated on our summer family holiday.

The cottage is very well kitted out ,everything you need is provided in the lovely kitchen and the bed we slept in was very comfortable .The cottage wraps it's arms around you as soon as you walk through the door and gives you a hug.If you're into pristine white walls and no character then this ones not for you,if you love vintage and antique and shabby chic then you'll adore a break to this lovely home ,we could see Stella has put an enormous amount of time effort and thought and love into creating a little bit of Wonderland.

We did have problems with the heating systemâtoo cold at first, then tending to be too hot. Stella was friendly and helpful. The local area of Fife and Perthshire is pretty and interesting but Newburgh itself is tired and a lot of businesses closedâincluding pubs and takeaways, not really how you represented it
