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.

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!
