Great atmosphere, friendly staff, loved it!
Emma Carter
We've stayed in quite a few lodges over the years, but this one really stood out. The views were absolutely stunningand the location was so peaceful, it was just what we needed. The place itself was finished to a really high standard, making our stay super comfortable. The owners were lovely-friendly but not overbearing-and shared some great tips about the area. Honestly, we wish we could take this lodge's views with us everywhere! Definitely planning to come back soon.
Mark
Honestly, this place is gorgeous! We loved how quiet it was, yet only a quick 5-minute drive into Anstruther and not much further to St Andrews. The garden was perfect for our dog to relax and roam freely. Loads of people asked us about it after seeing photos, so we're definitely planning to return. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway with easy access to town!
Jamie
Great spot with a lovely cottage and perfect for dogs. Super convenient for exploring North-East Fife. Despite there being four cottages, it feels quite quiet and private.
Emma J.
Totally worth it
Emma
Honestly, we had an awesome stay here! The place was spotless and really well kitted out. The hot tub stayed warm the entire weekend, even with the chilly wind. Definitely planning to come back soon, loved it!
