This is a very spacious cottage with a good living/dining space and a well equipped kitchen. There is lovely sunny and private back courtyard with BBQ. The Kingsbarns Inn is just around the corner where we had an excellent meal. We were a party of 3 adults which was fine as there is only one shower. It would be suitable for a family group but I thRead moreink 6 adults would struggle to live in it for a week. Overall it's a good value for money cottage ideally situated for exploring the area.
