Fabulous property set in a lovely part of the world with all the amenities you could wish for. Ideally located to explore the area - St Andrews is a must as well as the likes of Tentsmuir Forest & Beach plus the seafront walk from Broughty Ferry to Monifieth. Highly recommend.

A delightful and comfortable property off the beaten track (literally) but just a few mins drive from Ceres and 10 mins from Cupar and St Andrews. Perfectly located to explore Fife. The house is plenty big enough for 3 couples with 2 very spacious bedrooms (the 3rd is a little small but is comfortable and serves its purpose), 3 large and comfortablRead moree lounges and 3 1/2 bathrooms.

A stunning cottage in an equally stunning location. The best holiday cottage I've ever stayed in, it was warm and comfortable, despite the storm outside! The views are beautiful, the area peaceful, the hosts kind and welcoming, and the cottage had everything we needed. The garden is huge and enclosed. We spent a lovely day in Edinburgh and enjoyed Read morethe museums in Dundee. Trips around the coast and to St Andrews were also very pleasant, despite the weather!
