Well equipped cottage that provides good access to Edinburgh
We stayed for a week during the Fringe Festival. The cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay at a good price. It is a good base, both for getting into Edinburgh and for exploring the Fife area. There are some beautiful areas on the costal routes.

Fantastic little cottage within easy reach of everything!
Such a great little place to stay within a stones throw of Edinburgh and the Fife coast, but also easily linked to west Scotland if you have a car. Comfy, clean, and homey, Yvonne and Chris have a fab little place here. Thank you so much!

Holiday adventure
I loved the homely atmosphere with little touches of thoughtfulness everywhere, like the creamy port and the humbugs in the dish on the sideboard. The place was well setup and very comfortable. Suited us well.

Bonny Scotland in a Delightful Cottage
A stay at this cottage is all you would hope it to be from the lively woodland to the rustic and historic feel. I will definitely be staying here again.

Wonderful comfortable cottage, great views
We have just had an extended stay at the cottage and we couldn't have asked for more from a quaint, character filled, self catering cottage. Yvonne and Chris are beyond hospitable and so friendly - always available but also just let you settle in and get on with your stay. The cottage is warm and cosy, and the kitchen has everything you need. The location is ideal for a rural retreat without being away in the deep countryside, you are very close to all amenities - and the lovely gardens out the back - it's such a delightful suntrap! Easy access parking or an easy walk to Inverkeithing train station (15 ish mins) - a very handy station as all trains go to Edinburgh. And the views are so good - gorgeous farmscapes (you might be lucky to see some deer), the train line in the distance (our young daughter loved watching the trains go by) and all three bridges. We are sad our stay is over and would recommend to all.

Ideal location, perfect hosts.
We soon realized we had found a gem of a holiday base. A warm welcome from Yvonne, a much appreciated welcome basket, tea tray with scones, and a vase of fresh flowers, soon confirmed it. Also we were pleasantly surprised by how much space we had and how cosy and well equiped it was. Outdoor covered seating area a bonus, and entrance to the woods from the cottage garden. A good base for visiting Edinburgh and the beautiful Fife coast. Bakers, fishmonger and a Co-op in Inverkeithing with supermarkets and good takeaways in Dalgety Bay all about 5 minutes away by car.

Lovely comfortable cottage, great views and location
The cottage is lovely. Everything we needed was there and for visiting family and friends in the area and going into Edinburgh by train for the Festival the location was ideal. We had a very warm welcome from Yvonne and enjoyed the welcome goodies left in the cottage. We didn't need to use the fire but were very warm in the conservatory after long sunny days out exploring. We would definitely recommend and would love to come again.
