Wonderful property with great attention to detail paid to ensure a most comfortable stay.
Suited all age groups, plenty of space, lots of bathrooms, only criticisms are the TV was too small for room size, not enough dishwasher/washing machine tabs and only half a kitchen roll otherwise a splendid stay,
Regards

Fantastic property for a family with extensive views over the Firth of Forth. This is a very large property with an enormous lounge / dining room / and well stocked kitchen looking down to the firth. Large safe garden for the kids to play. An extra bonus for the adults is a small lounge outside one of the bedrooms.
We hope to return.

December break
The property was lovely just didn't feel homely very sterile and cold maybe havinng curtains over bare windows would have maybe helped.due to location of the property you are unable to go for a walk as there ate no pavements which we were not aware of.
Wonderful 4Bed/4Bath house with Expansive “Firthview”
Property was exactly as pictured/described. Beautiful view out of ample Family Room in back of house. Saw pheasants in surrounding fields. Good proximity to St. Andrews and Anstruther.
Beds and bedding were good. Kitchen was decently equipped, French press for coffee.
Communication from Property Management Company was great close to stay.
A couple of minor items:
-Water not connected to refrigerator, so no ice cubes.
-Could use some luggage stands in the rooms or even a chair or two in the bedrooms.
-Surface cleaned, that is cob webs and spiders in corners.
