This is a really wonderful place to stay and we had a very relaxing holiday here. Its a great location in the countryside with amazing sea views, but also very central for access to St Andrews, Anstruther, Crail etc. Its really spacious and we loved the decking and hot tub. Very modern and comfortable with lots of nice touches like the extra towelsRead more, the milk, the Bluetooth speaker etc. - everything had been thought of! Hide

Cottage was first class with Hot Tub partly enclosed & protects you from wet weather , nice enclosed seating around hot tub and more seating on decking for better weather , which we were unfortunate not to have , did not spoil our time away . Does have Wind Turbines in fields , we still enjoyed our stay .

Its fairly obvious that a great deal of thought has gone into making any stay here a great experience from a customer perspective. Location, layout, decor and facilities are all first class and beautifully presented. We spent a wonderful, relaxing week at the lodge and would book it again unhesitatingly.
