We appreciated the personal touches of fresh flowers and bakery items😊 the cottage was clean and welcoming, we would stay there again, thank you. ##### Thomas Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison M. 10 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable cottage in a super location. Enjoyed a relaxing week away in this lovely cottage in Lower Largo. It’s location is superb, just yards from the beach and ideal for the Fife Coastal Path and fabulous, unspoilt beaches. The cottage is very comfortable and immaculate inside with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge (we didn’t use the real fire but it would be lovely in the colder months) and 2 generous bedrooms. We had everything we needed for our stay and appreciated the welcome goodies left by the owners for our arrival. Parking in front of the property was a bit of a challenge as we have a large car but the option to park in the adjacent car park was always there if we needed it. We would love to return to Cardy cottage and this part of Scotland again. ##### Alison M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Ivory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-OYO-The-Ivory-Hotel.h2760113.Hotel-Information) > > [Pretty period cottage with garden in conservation village near Elie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leven-Hotels-Pretty-Period-Cottage-With-Garden-In-Conservation-Village-Near-Elie.h32861024.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [Enterkine House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-Enterkine-House-Hotel.h10176973.Hotel-Information) > > [Achness Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lairg-Hotels-Achness-Hotel.h24057466.Hotel-Information) > > [Torrs Warren Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Torrs-Warren-Country-House-Hotel.h1780862.Hotel-Information) > > [Newburgh Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Newburgh-Inn.h12323173.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Place Elie Perfect Beach Location](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leven-Hotels-Park-Place-Elie-Perfect-Beach-Location.h44461646.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [ARDENNAN HOUSE HOTEL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-ARDENNAN-HOUSE-HOTEL.h34546411.Hotel-Information) > > [Finavon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forfar-Hotels-Finavon-Hotel.h39618185.Hotel-Information) > > [go2 Glasgow Cumbernauld Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Go2-Glasgow-Cumbernauld-Hotel.h5963230.Hotel-Information) > > [Moffat Mansion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Mansion.h17712636.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Lomond Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Hotel.h83284830.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Cottage with own Beach and Stunning Views Across The Clyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-Waterfront-Cottage-With-Stunning-Views.h39682263.Hotel-Information) > > [Balcomie Links Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anstruther-Hotels-Balcomie-Links-Hotel.h29273506.Hotel-Information) > > [Greshornish House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portree-Hotels-Greshornish-House-Hotel.h23086689.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [Ben Cruachan inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalmally-Hotels-Ben-Cruachan-Inn.h27041653.Hotel-Information) > > [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) > > [Peel Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirriemuir-Hotels-Peel-Farm.h29473884.Hotel-Information) > > [Willow Court - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Willow-Court.h11058810.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochinvar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Lochinvar-Hotel.h43651710.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardeonaig Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killin-Hotels-Ardeonaig-Hotel.h15830740.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Park - Perfect Elie Base](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leven-Hotels-Marine-Park-Perfect-Elie-Base.h42483296.Hotel-Information) ---
