Lovely and friendly
Lovely place, Julie and her husband made us feel very welcomed to them. Great breakfast, clean, comfy room. Nice with homemade shortbreads in the room.
Bought Julie’s own marmelade and jam as a memory from our nice and helpful hosts. We can definitely reccommend this guest house.

Great place to stay
I loved the stay here. It was too short. The owners were very nice and made me feel extremely welcome. Its not far from Elie where they have the famous 'chain walk', or St. Andrews. Great breakfast as well.

In spite that I left the hotel as early as 5:30, owners got up very early to prepare nice breakfast to goo enough to enjoy golf at St Andrews on the morning.
Cats are lovely.

The owners Julie and Richard are the most wonderful hosts! The room we had was so comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing and loved Julie’s homemade jams. We bought three to take home! Julie’s homemade shortbread was to die for! Also, both Julie and Richard went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and that our needs were met! We are only sad we couldn’t stay more than one night!
