Delightfully rustic and beautifully updated, this single-storey period cottage provides a charming couple’s retreat against the scenic backdrop of the Lomond Hills. It’s located in the pretty village of Newton of Falkland, with the Lomond Hills Regional Park right behind it (500 metres) – an absolute dream for hikers, outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of moorland and lochs.

The pretty home has classic whitewashed walls on the outside for a traditional appearance. Inside, the bucolic vibe continues, with traditional details (think exposed stone walls and wood panelling) combined with stylish interiors. As you explore, you’ll notice a lot of time and attention has been given to colour schemes, fittings and soft furnishings, to create a visually cohesive and elegant setting, perfect for your romantic (or solo) break.

Everything is laid out over one floor, starting with the attractive light-filled lounge. On arrival, rest after your long journey on the corner sofas, with some unusual entertainment from the self-playing baby grand piano (or Smart TV). The well-equipped kitchen has pretty turquoise tiles and a dining area for meals as well as direct access to the enclosed private garden. A handy utility room houses a washing machine and drying space. Along the hallway, you’ll find a contemporary bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC, along with your nest for the night – a spacious carpeted king-size bedroom with lovely artwork on the walls.

Stepping outside, the fully enclosed garden features an attractive pebbled floor and is filled with plants, providing a tranquil space for al fresco breakfasts on fine days. Two sets of tables and chairs provide options for outdoor seating. You’ll have direct access to the driveway and parking area for added convenience.

Great location for exploring Fife. Nice cottage with history explained in the info. This has only been a let since 2024, so you get the feeling the owner is seeing how it goes a little as some areas need attention, and can understand this needs income first to fund. Bed for us was low & rather firm, but you never get it right for everyone & weRead more always take our own mattress topper thankfully. Sofa was good although with the piano in the room (which is listed for sale), the sofa/fireplace end of the room felt cramped in a large space. Lots of ancillary kitchen equipment; air fryer, griddle, bread maker & 2 coffee machines. Windows do not open, so only air flow via opening the doors. The secondary double glazing at the original front windows is good as house right on the road but it's not overly busy & the road is a 20 mph. I always check out Google maps to see exact position & was not put off. Garden areas are small & the largest bit is where the owners private room window and door are situated. Not that we saw anyone there, just a bit odd. And this could easily be a second bedroom and better access to the "secret garden". Maybe this is for the future too. Good walks in the village & handy well stocked shop in Freuchie, 3 mins drive away. In all a pleasant stay & wish the owner well in their venture. Hide
