Nice break to an area we have visited before in 1995, so there have been many changes. This holiday let is exceptional and located a few minutes walk from the village of Ceres. Carl and Tricia were lovely hosts and we hope we have left the place as nice as we found it. Ceres pubs were having a bit of a bad week, and couldn't decide whether they were open or not. On the odd couple of nights we ate out, we went to the Gougingait in Cupar, traditional pub with traditional food. Once again a lovely area where we made full use of our National Trust memberships

Apartment excellent, views from lounge window & balcony beautiful. Watching birds at feeder outside bedroom window when we opened curtains in morning was great. A very spacious, very clean & very comfortable apartment. We had great weather for March & even managed to sit out on balcony on several days. The views of the mill pond & burn are stunning. Carl & Tricia have done a fantastic job on house & gardens! Best self catering house we have stayed in!
