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.

Julie
Absolutely stunning lodge. Beautiful location with amazing views over the countryside and sea view. You will not be disappointed if you book this lodge. We have stayed in many lodges this by far is the best we have stayed in. Spotless clean, beds very comfortable and nice large sofa to relax. Beautiful log fire which we didn't get to light as we wa s lucky to have amazing hot weather all week. Kitchen has everything you need. Large enclosed garden which our dog loved. Will definitely be returning
Mandy
Absolutely fantastic property, best we have stayed in. Beautiful surroundings, fantastic view and very peaceful.
Margaret
Would definitely recommend the lodge. Our lodge was very spacious and well equipped. Lovely and secured for a relaxing break but close enough to St Andrews, Crail, Anstruther, Elie & Dundee..
David
Wonderful place ten out of ten
Lynn
The cottage is in a great location. Very quite but all local towns very accessible. Loved the fenced off garden for our dog to roam in. Decor was lovely and well thought out. You can tell that items of furniture were purchased for style element and not just functionality. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Loved the hot tub with the sparkly lights on the ceiling.
Rachel
We had an amazing time, its the second time we have visited (1st was a year ago) and it was as clean and perfect as it was then We had a nice relaxing weekend from our very busy working week Thank you

Jodie
We stayed for 3 nights for a mini moon and it was the perfect stay! The lodge itself is stunning with everything you need and more. The owners also did small gestures to celebrate our mini moon which meant the world to us. Would defo stay again and recommend to anyone
Laura
The lodge was amazing. There was so much attention to detail. It was spotless and beautifully furnished. The views were gorgeous. The garden was totally enclosed which was fab for our dog. We cant wait to return.
Sherriene
Over the past few years we have stayed in many lodges and this one was by far the best. The lodge had amazing views, perfect peaceful location and everything about the accommodation was completed to the highest standard. The owners were extremely helpful and completely non intrusive and gave us a great insight into the area we were staying in. We j ust wish we could take this amazing lodge and its views everywhere we go! We will certainly return in the near future.
John
This lodge is stunning.. honest I would move in if I could lol the location is so peaceful yet just a 5min drive into the town of Anstruther and 10/15mins to St Andrews. The completely enclosed garden was great for our dog who could freely wander. I have had so many people ask about this property after seeing it on my socials and we will definitely be looking to rebook!
Alex
Quality cottage, super location. Very safe for the dog too. Easy access to routes all round North-East Fife. 4 cottages but still very private if you wanted it
Samantha
Exceptional. Relaxing holiday.
Kathryn
OMG!! This place was amazing. It is the best place I have ever stayed in. Clean and equipped to a high standard. Hot tub kept its temperature the whole weekend despite cold windy weather. Will absolutely be booking again

Smoo Cave - IV27 4QB
about 25 Miles
Smoo Cave is a popular attraction which can be enjoyed all year round but visitors should wrap up warm during the winter months.  This spectacular limestone sea-cave in Sutherland is the largest in Britain and is simply spectacular. The cave was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea. Guests can take the path from the car park which runs right through the cave. Boat trips are available in the summer months and are an excellent way to fully appreciate the cave from all angles.
