Location was good. About a 10 min drive to St Andrews.

The property was not suitable for four adults, as the two single beds were very small and uncomfortable for adults. On our last morning here the hot water seemed to have ‘ran out’ so 2 out of 4 of us staying had ice cold showers. The kitchen could have been better equipped, with more bowls, mugs, and other essentials. Although there was a dishwasher, no dishwasher tablets were provided, and while there was a coffee machine, there were no coffee pods. Small welcoming touches such as a splash of milk would have made the stay feel more homely. The sheets and towel also had stains on them

"Fabulous."

Peaceful and beautiful location. A charming cottage with everything we needed. Comfy beds, great shower. Well equipped kitchen.

It was difficult to operate the heaters and I felt a bit guilty using too much electricity. The radiators seem to eat electricity! There wasn’t enough water for 4 showers after a game of golf though, to be fair, we did read the instructions properly afterwards

"Relaxing and great base for getting out and about in this beautiful area of Fife."

Location was peaceful and the cottage was comfortable.

Maybe the wooden white painted staircase…better to be covered with carpet. Some egg cups? Quick guide to using the hob. Better pillows…very flattened

Location and appearance and layout of the property

Frying pan and cooking trays were dirty. Frying pan was unusable. No hoover or brush for use during our stay.. Only enough hot water for 1 shower. Foul waste water running into back garden from blocked drain adjacent to the property. Property cold and unwelcoming on arrival. Radiators had not been switched on.
