Some kitchen equipment aging but enough to get by. Low cealing slightly uncomfortable for tall people. Windows could need a clean outside.

We weren't disappointed. Cleanliness, facilities and amenities all as we expected from previous stays with the owner. One thing we didn't have provided though was a pair of scissors which certainly would have come in handy a couple of times. As someone has already mentioned, the internet is shared with the neighbouring property and can have a tendency to "drop out". It didn't bother us as we're used to that at home (lol) but it may be more of an issue for others. We love the location as it's so easy to explore the area. Easy access to the Fife Coastal path. Hoping to stay there again soon.
