Just had a great week at this fabulous cottage. The reviews which say it has everything you could possibly want/need are not wrong, what else can I say? The weather was mixed but we did sit out on the decking one evening and it is Scotland...in March!! The outside space is enclosed which was especially good for our greyhound, who would otherwise escape, and the views are exceptional especially the deer and the lambs. We had trips/walks out to Elie, Anstruther, St Andrews, Aberfoyle, Falkirk, Antonine wall and Balmaha and not forgetting the Swan Inn. Friendly owners and locals too. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

A beautiful little cottage which is in a very convenient position for visiting many places in southern Scotland. The accomodation is excellent and well presented and the views of surrounding countryside are stunning. Excellent for a short break or a longer holiday.

A beautifully appointed cottage with everything you could possibly need and more. A perfect location to explore the central belt from, 5 minutes from the motorway but none of the noise. We loved it and so did our dogs.
