The town itself is cute and very walkable, the fish at Imries Fish Bar was honestly one of the best Iāve ever had. Would definitely recommend staying here!

- angela (10/5): - This was my second visit, Julie the landlady is great, everything you could need is provided, from tissues to extra blankies and more. Her breakfasts are almost belly busting, a great selection, including homemade jams. It's a home away from home, for me especially, she has two beautiful cats, so I don't get homesick š. Great place to stay, clean and quiet, 10 mins from both bus/train stations and 10 mins from the beach. If you get her Blue room, technically you get a seaview too š. I can't wait for my next visit.
- Steve (10/5): - Great stay. Clean, tidy and very comfortable. Fantastic host and brilliant breakfast.
- Carol (10/5): - The owners Julie and Richard are the most wonderful hosts! The room we had was so comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing and loved Julieās homemade jams. We bought three to take home! Julieās homemade shortbread was to die for! Also, both Julie and Richard went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and that our needs were met! We are only sad we couldnāt stay more than one night!
- Christine (8/5): - The freshly cooked breakfast was excellent with a good choice. Unfortunately our shower was difficult to operate as we couldn't get consistent flow or temperature. Our room was large with plenty of storage space and comfy beds.
- Steven (10/5): Superb on all fronts - great value for money. - Superb property and host! Located just off the end of the high street and about 10 minute walk from train and bus stations. Met by host who was very friendly and welcoming. We were away too early to have the renowned cooked breakfast, but host agreed that it was no problem to have a very early ācoldā breakfast of cereal, yoghurt, fruit, toast and coffee - lots of choice and plenty to set us up! Wonderful! Room was very clean, comfortable, well appointed and with plenty of storage space. Very comfy beds. Good TV. Great tea / coffee making facilities, including great home made biscuits. Superb, powerful, hot, easy to use shower with toiletries provided. This was a great experience at a great price for what was provided. Very good value! Will definitely stay again!
- David (10/5): - Excellent staff, good location, bargain price. Would stay again.
- Anthony (10/5): Perfect Guest House and Lovely Hosts - Lovely couple who can't do enough for their guests and clearly love having guests from all over the world stay at their guest house. This was my 1st time staying in a guest house, and i was pleasantly surprised. Lovely room, very welcoming on arrival and after we got chatting it genuinely felt like a home from home. Leven town centre has some shops/pubs etc, and this guest house is perfectly positioned with both off road and on road parking available. If you want the authentic guest house experience, with hosts that will cater for all your needs, look no further
- Toby (10/5): - Really enjoyable stay at this B&B. Excellent breakfast including (optional) haggis! Thanks
- Adrian (10/5): - Amazing place to stay with such helpful and friendly owners. Surrounded by churches and well kept gardens of the town and a short step from the shore line. Thanks
- Verified traveler (10/5): Repeating visitor - My first choice every time I visit Fife. Highly recommended place.
- Masamichi (10/5): - The breakfast was delicious.
- I (10/5): One night at the Dunclutha Guest House - One night stay while walking the fife coastal path.. great location in town, bedroom was immaculate, shower was tremendous and to top it all the breakfast was delicious.. would definitely recommend a stay here..
- Naomi (10/5): - Amazing stay! Awesome hosts, great home cooked meal in the morning! Loved the hot tub!
- Kelly (8/5): - Beautifully decorated room! Richard and Julie were wonderful hosts! Thank you Richard for fixing my mobility scooter!!!
- Stuart (10/5): Great place to stay - I loved the stay here. It was too short. The owners were very nice and made me feel extremely welcome. Its not far from Elie where they have the famous 'chain walk', or St. Andrews. Great breakfast as well.
- Samantha (10/5): - Wonderful host! Felt clean and safe. Breakfast was fantastic.
- angela (10/5): A great place to relax and chill out - For me this was the most relaxing mini break I've had. Julie the owner/hostess is very friendly and chatty and nothing is too much trouble. Her rooms are spotless, bright and tastefully decorated. Depending on how your walking is, the beach is anything from 5-10 mins away, and what a beach it is. Julie's breakfast gives hotel chains a run for their money. Fully cooked and/or continental, you're spoilt for choice. I couldn't think of anything I needed in my room, everything was there, extra heater, tower fan, toiletries, well stocked tea/coffee tray including welcome tub of homemade shortbread. For me, I was in heaven, the added bonus of Julie's cats was a surprise and delight. Hygiene is observed, the cats are in a run outside whilst breakfast is on the go, but once that is over, they are happy to meet and greet guests. They were the highlight of my stay. I've already booked my next visit, where I'll pop on a local bus that goes to St Andrews, apparently only takes 30 mins. Dunclutha is perfect for a chilled out break and Julie always has time to chat no matter how busy she is.
- pauline (10/5): - I cant recommend a stay her more. The hosts go above and beyond especially at breakfast
- Rosemary (10/5): - This was a last minute booking and I wish Iād arranged to stay longer. It was so comfortable and I was well looked after. Extra touches like quality towels, home made preserves and shortbread. I donāt think it will be long till I return. The walks on the beach and the wonderful shower in my room were brilliant. Thank you so much!
- Sharron (10/5): - Property was lovely. Room was clean and modern. Shortbread, water and various teas and coffees available in room. Owners very friendly. Hot tub was a great perk.

Nice touches, such as home made shortbread in the room. Very generous full breakfast as well as fresh fruit, yogurt etc. Also home made jams. Selection of places to eat and drink in the immediate vicinity isn't great, but better places a little further afield. Great location for coastal walks and the beach.
- Robert (10/5): - Stayed 3 nights in the Green room. If you book this room, a word of warning. The bed is so comfortable that you are in real danger of missing breakfast. 3 mornings I woke up and was so comfortable I considered skipping breakfast. Glad I didnāt as the food as was everything at The Dunclutha just spot on. Not hard to see why their current rating on here is Excellent.
- Christopher (10/5): - Amazing view from the beach which is only a few mins walk. Well worth it
- Michael (10/5): Great Leven guesthouse - Fantastic value accommodation in Leven. Julie a wonderful host. Would stay again.

- John (8/5): - Very friendly owners. Breakfast was delicious.
- KK (10/5): - 3 of us friends traveled together and stayed 1 night on our way to the Highlands. The B&B has been beautifully renovated and decorated. We shared a room with 3 comfortable beds. The best homemade shortbread was left for us to snack on. The following morning, Julie made a delicious and very filling breakfast which included an assortment of her homemade jams. I wish we could have stayed longer! The owners have cats but itās obvious that they are not allowed in the guest bedrooms, as my cat allergies did not bother me. I highly recommend this place.
- MICHELE (10/5): - Julian, a husband Richard are very very wonderful people.. very friendly very open and helpful people. This place is a gem.. to welcoming wonderful kitty cats also they were great and very hospitable.. breakfast was absolutely delicious every day and you could get a traditional, Scottish breakfast or fruit and yogurt and toast and jam and wonderful cereals.. it is really close to the train station there in Leven which took me all the way to Edinburgh and backā¦.Then I went out to St Andrews and it was amazing
- christopher (10/5): - host is awesome. Took care of us

- Helmut (10/5): - Julie, the host, was excellent. I stayed 8 days. There was a made to order hot breakfast each day. At the end of a hard day of golf, there was a hot tub in which to relax. The room had everything one needed. Any problem that arose, Julie solved. I had a flight schedule change that resulted in needing extra accommodation, which, although she was fully booked, Julie managed to rearrange things to allow me to stay on. If i were back in the area I would definitely stay there. Cannot say enough good things about Julie and the Dunclutha Guest House.
- Jackie (10/5): Great stay in Leven - We had an amazing stay at Dunclutha! The room was wonderful and quaint! A great Scottish get away! Julia was a great hostess, even offering to provide a cooked breakfast when we hadnāt pre ordered. I would definitely stay here again!

- Beverley (10/5): Fantastic stay in Leven - Fantastic stay - cannot recommend them highly enough. From home made shortbread to local advice, everything was thought of.
- Karen (10/5): - The host is very friendly and welcoming. It was warm, by Scottish standards, during my stay and there was a tower fan in the room. The bathroom was large with a spacious semi circular shower. There was homemade shortbread with the tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast would put some 4 or even 5 star hotels to shame; delicious homemade fruit salad, tasty porridge, piping hot fried eggs, mushrooms and tomato with quality wholemeal toast.
- Stephen (10/5): - The owners were so friendly and welcoming, we felt like an extension of the family for our one night stay there. We knew nothing about Leven before we arrived. Hmm.... when are we coming back then?
