One of the best cottages for sure that we have ever stayed in. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable and it was a pleasure to meet one of the owners, Rosalind. She made us feel very welcome. Such a nice lady who obviously takes pride in owning and maintaining Katmoget cottage along with her husband Brian. Many thanks to them both.

Rosalind and Brian, the owners, who live next door, are friendly and helpful with local knowledge. The cottage's location makes it an ideal base for exploring various parts of Fife, including St Andrews and historic fishing villages, and further afield to Dundee, Angus and Perth. Cupar, the former county town of Fife, is less than 10 minutes drive away and handy for shops and a railway station for car-free travel to Dundee and Edinburgh, etc. Dorothy & Graham B

The owners, Rosalind & Brian, are friendly and helpful and available. Unlike some owners. The supply of eggs, jam, milk and coffee on arrival is a lovely touch. Hopefully, we will return.
