Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### enjoyed the property was lovely, clean and warm on arrival and beds very comfortable would like to return in summer months ##### lesley m. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave M. Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location For Exploring This was a lovely wee house to stay in for exploring the East Neuk. We spent a week here and found it was a great central location. House was pretty comfortable and had pretty much everything we could have required. The only thing letting it down was that although the floors had been swept/vacuumed, they hadn't been mopped very well as our bare feet became pretty grubby after walking around on them. The duvets were also quite thick, so access to thinner summer alternatives would have been handy too. These points didn't detract too much from our stay though and we would stay here again. ##### Dave M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy J. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Little Gem The property is spotless although a dated feel inside. The log fire is great. Handy having dishwasher and washing machine. St Monans is stunning and it’s an easy, beautiful walk to Pittenweem. Careful about where you park, if you park behind the house you run the risk of a neighbour parking across your rear in a show of? Annoyance? Aggression? Arrogance? Who knows?!!! ##### Joy J.
