Beautiful cottage in a great location

I stayed in this cottage for 11 nights with my dog, my Mum came to visit for the weekend too. Kate and Cameron we're very welcoming, and went to extra lengths to make my stay enjoyable. A lovely touch was the welcome tray with tea, coffee and delicious shortbread! Not to mention a nice bottle of prosecco. The surrounding area is beautiful, and felt really remote and peaceful, despite being a short drive from the motorway with access to popular areas, North and South. There were also lots of lovely walks to enjoy, which we did in the fabulous Scottish sunshine!

Lovely well equipped cottage in excellent location. Ideal with our dog. Kate and Cameron the owners could not have been more helpful and friendly. Also spotlessly clean. We will definitely return, in fact, we have now booked their Elie property for December.

Lovely little cottage within a lovely area.

Great central place to stay with lots of lovely walks near by and the loch is fabulous. Lots to do although the weather was wet on our stay but if it had been different we would’ve done more! Lots of lovely golf courses nearby and ST Andrews is a must visit for any golf lover! Kate and Cam gave us a lovely welcome and lots of tips on the best places thank you!!

Lovely cottage, great location, warm hosts

A tastefully modern updating of an historic cottage; with warm rooms and plenty of space; well-equipped and well positioned for visiting the coast (e.g. Anstruther), Highlands (e.g. Pitlochry) or historic places (e.g. Stirling). Very pleasant hosts. Recommended for couples or families with teens / grown-up children.

We had a wonderful vacation. The cottage is very tastefully furnished and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The inventory is very well maintained, a wonderful garden which was also loved by our dog and an attractive terrace. Simply perfect, and in a quiet location. Thank you for the information folder in the house, we explored a lot of it, many thanks to the Hill family!
