Two night stay
Comfortable and roomy accommodation which was perfect for visiting family in Anstruther. A very pleasant and easy walk from the centre of Anstruther. A nice quiet location near a bus stop. Accommodation was perfect for me with all of the facilities I needed including a very comfortable bed and a good shower. Would definitely use again.

Cosy Cottage
We stayed here for 3 nights with our dog and had a good time in the garden house. The pull down bed settee was surprisingly very comfortable. The shower cubicle was quite small but very good. I was surprised to find the tv had sky tv including sky sports. The dog had a good time running around the large enclosed garden area. Friendly host with a kept and clean house.

Lovely value property and friendly owner service
Big room summerhouse, with a sumptuous and very comfortable sofa bed. Duvet and pillows. Great oven and grill, electric kettle and toaster. Fridge and small freezer available. Compact toilet and wash hand basin with a great pressure shower. Full of windows and very bright and airy. Very close to Anstruther, Crail and St. Andrews and a great base for exploring the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend, tiny number of steps for access, fantastic garden and outdoor space, and fantastic value location.

Perfect for my needs
The house was small, but I knew it would be. The only place that felt cramped was the shower, and I managed it. The pull-out bed was quite comfortable. I didn't need Carol for anything, but if I had I'm confident she would have been immediately responsive.
