Country house in pretty small glen
We had a great week at Sandra’s , the property is quirky and filled with interesting furnishings! Kitchen is well equipped. However we all agreed the outside would benefit greatly from a bit of TLC. The picnic benches in particular! The house is surrounded on 3 sides by extremely tall conifers blocking out the sunshine especially late afternoon, early evening and in the mornings as well as the views!!! This also made the house very dark inside. Our attempts to find the picnic bench up on the hill were in vain, but we learned from our host during the week that it was no longer there. Louie the Labrador enjoyed his early morning walk up on the hill each day.

Modern Cottage, superb views, near St Andrews
We had a lovely weekend here. Gordon was so friendly and helpful, directions to get there, and recommending local walks. We felt so at home, comfy beds and the most amazing views. Really nice touches like bread, milk and cheese. There was even wine in the fridge, pringles and fresh fruit. A real home from home and we will definitely be back.

Wilma’s place was great. Exactly as set out. The apartment is modern and has everything you need. Added bonus for us was a fenced off garden for the dog. Friendly pub next doo and amenities nearby. Incredibly easy to get to St Andrews and lots of other places and activities. Would highly recommend.
