A beautiful, comfortable home from home. Very well equipped, comfortable beds and everything top quality. We enjoyed our stay very much, loving the pretty coastal villages and the best fish and chips ever, in Anstruther. Not too far from Edinburgh and other cities.The host was helpful in providing up to date info about local eateries and events. We were also delighted to be given local bread, cake and jam and some milk. Thank you.
