Family Break
In need of a full refresh. The stair carpet was dirty and there were damp patches on some of the ceilings. Living area was cramped and not really comfortable for six adults. The kitchen was well equipped but again when using the dining area it was cramped. On the plus side we had great weather and the venue was central

Very convenient location for walking around Anstruther. Parking was not great but available a short distance away along the street. It took two days to get WiFi because the equipment was changed and the login information was not. Lots of stairs in the unit. Convenient to restaurants and bars.
