Wonderful neighbours who lent me their washing line. A beautiful home with amazing views. Constructive feedback; the quality of the bottom sheet was itchy, not helpful for the best nights sleep. 5ft double bed would have been more comfortable. Overall an excellent stay in a prime location. Parking outside a bonus. Thank you

It is not a comfortable house to stay in, the only bath is literally waist high and has the be accessed by a 2 step ladder to get into the bath itâs a really weird set up. Anstruther is pleasant but we would not stay in this house again.
