Traditional detached country cottage.
Great place to stay for a peaceful get away. Couldn’t fault the booking from start to finish would 100% recommend to anybody.

Cardy Crossing Cottage -Lower Largo beach FI02098P
The cottage in Lower Largo, with it's pristine interior, was an ideal base to explore the stunning Fife coast; from the busy tourist hub of St Andrews to the quieter Crail and Elie. Excellent trip and Claudine was extremely helpful in all her communication. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning at some point in the future.

No 1 Stable Yard, Wemyss Castle Estate
Our stay at Wemyss Castle Estate was wonderful! The accommodations were lovely and immaculate. Jamie was welcoming, friendly, and great at communicating. We especially enjoyed touring the Wemyss Caves and the beautiful gardens on the estate. Paulina checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and took care of our special requests (due to allergies). There was even a very nice welcome basket of "goodies" on our arrival. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wanted to explore the beauty of Fife and would love to be able to return!

No.3 By The Sea - 5 Star Cozy Coastal Cottage
Ellen had great communication and made sure that everything was in place for our trip as we were catering a Christmas dinner cooked by chef. The ample furniture was such a bonus and it was very comfortable. The location is stunning so much so that whilst on my stay there I decided to put in an offer on a property around the corner to live out my retirement there!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home

Pier View Cottage with stunning sea views.
Really enjoyed our stay here. It gutted our needs perfectly as it was in a quiet area but only 20 minutes from St Andrews and the view from the living room was lovely. Ron helpfully, and proactively, gave us some recommendations of places to eat both of which were just a short walk away. The Clock Tower Cafe did superb breakfasts & The Dory in the harbour was a wonderful treat on an evening. Thank you Ron for a lovely stay.

Moonzie House Stable
We had a wonderful time at Kathy's. It's a lovely place and in a brilliant and peaceful location. Easy drive to Dundee from here. Kathy was very quick to respond, and she accommodated us very last minute. Thanks again!

Converted coach house with parking in Pittenweem
We stayed for 4 days with our 13 month old. The accommodation was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The house was clean and had a range of cleaning facilities too. It was our first time in Pittenweem but won’t be our last. Cottage is located only 10 mins from the harbour and a 25 min walk to Anstruther. Kirsten was really helpful with messages and provided us with a high chair and travel cot for our son. Cannot recommend this enough and we plan to come back later in the year! Thanks again for a lovely few days in Pittenweem.

THURNFIELD, perfect for family and golfing groups
A fantastic cottage in the heart of Fife! Perfect for families or a small group of golfers. The cottage is centrally located to the St. Andrews, Ansruther, and Leven areas, with easy drives to the towns and their historic golf courses. It was clean, spacious enough for a couple of adults or a family, and Trevor & Carolyn were excellent hosts - always communicative and friendly. Highly recommend to friends for a weekend golf outing or families looking to soak in all that Fife has to offer.

The Old Barn, Country Cottage in courtyard setting
Wonderful & peaceful location. The barn is spacious and has everything you could need. Dogs aren’t allowed on the sofa or beds, however there is nothing to prevent your dog from going upstairs to the main bedroom, which makes the no beds rule quite hard work if your dog is used to being allowed upstairs and on beds. We did manage to block the stairs off with the fire grate. The grounds are amazing around the house and Irene was very welcoming. We had a wonderful stay and found a gorgeous walk on the Falkland Palace Estate. A really lovely, as described stay.

The Cupboard | Elie
Cute place, small but perfect for a few days away. Everything has been cleverly thought of to fit a tiny space. It’s a great location too but you do need to book if you want to eat at the pub as it is very busy!

Alisons Close, Central St Andrews
A great place to stay - smallish second bedroom and so a bit cosy, but otherwise the perfect place to hang in St Andrews - a lovely suntrap outside for a morning coffee to plan the day's golf and more generally catch up on life with your mates.

Ardormie Farm Cottage - cosy country cottage for 2
We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at Ardormie farm cottage. The views are amazing and the cottage itself is lovely. Everything was perfect and comfortable. we really enjoyed being surrounded by sheep and on occasion wild red dear and birds of prey. the bed was very comfortable and the whole house was quiet and peacefull. would happily recommend Ardormie and would gladly stay here again.

Creel 4 - BEACH Front Access - Garden - Parking
Ideally placed next to beach on quiet street the cottage was ideal. Beds were comfy and cottage very clean.

No3 Rose Street - be our guest
Wow!! What a wonderful home with amazing hosts!! Rona and Bryan met us when we checked in, helped with our bags and even stocked food and drink in the kitchen for us. They left a book of clear instructions for the house and the area that was very helpful. The home was immaculately clean and decorated with wonderful local Scottish items. The beds we slept on were very comfortable. The area is quiet and private, and very welcoming. I can't say enough good things about this place! Thank you Rona and Bryan for everything! Can't wait to stay with you again! From two grateful Canadians! 😊🍁

Seafront Cottage - The Anchorage Carnoustie
A lovely little cottage in an excellent location - really close to the beach. Very relaxing and well equipped and comfortable. Rhona was really nice and helpful. Thanks for the biscuits and drinks too they were a nice touch. We would definitely like to come back at some point.

Quaint Cottage: Old Course 5 mins, garden, parking
Wonderful cozy cottage. Walkable to groceries restaurants and shops. Great accommodation for our family and would definitely rent this home again.
Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Gorgeous country apartment w/ hot tub & log burner
Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

A charming, well appointed Edwardian Gate Lodge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

Lodge at Eastwood: private cottage for 2-4 guests
Murray's place was warm comfortable and a delight to stay in. It was well appointed and beautifuly clean. To be strongly recommended.

The Arches
The Arches was a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable space which allowed us to really relax and switch off. We particularly liked the hot tub and, due to the amazing weather while we were there, we even got to sit in the private courtyard and eat breakfast outdoors. The property has everything you could need. Good kitchen and comfy sofa in the living room. The bed is very comfortable and huge! Fab shower and bath set up. We enjoyed a walk up the hill where the views were stunning. Would recommend this walk. We went into Cupar for lunch one day and ate in the Boudingait which was very tasty food. Would recommend. We would definitely return to The Arches. We’ve been to a lot of AirBnB properties and this is up there with the best we’ve been to. Thank you!

The Stables - Near St Andrews Sleeps 10
This is my second stay at the stables to bring in new year with my family. It was another fantastic stay! We love the house and the location is perfect! Lovely and private with some beautiful walks to admire the surroundings, and then home to enjoy the hot tub after! I am sure we will be back again as we love it!

Cottage with optional extra of wood fired hot tub
Myself and 2 friends just had a brilliant weekend at Dawn and Darren’s cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The cottage was perfect for what we needed, the decor was lovely and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Hopefully later this year! Thank you Dawn and Darren.

Cliff Walk Cottage, Cotton of Auchmithie, Arbroath
Property was ideally located for quietness. Garden was safe and secure for the dogs. Everything we needed was provided and any queries were answered quickly.

Coastal cottage with stunning view.
We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!
