"A very comfortable, roomy and well equipped property in an ideal location to explore Fife. As a group of golfers it was perfect as it was a 25 minute drive to St Andrews with other golf options nearer to the property. There was plenty of private parking and the beds were comfortable after a long day on the links. The owner, Liz, was very communicative and we had all the instructions we needed well before we arrived. Would stay again if we have a group playing at St Andrews. "
