TESTIMONIALS

"Great little cottage easily walkable to the main parts of Anstruther. Added bonus that it was quite a secluded little courtyard and had dedicated parking. Overall the cottage was small but perfectly formed. Perfect for a couple or family with one kid."

☆☆☆☆☆ | Barry, Edinburgh

"A super base for exploring; had everything we needed (tho next time we may bring a couple of chairs to sit outside in the sun! ) The house was absolutely spotless and Emma was prompt in replying to any queries before our arrival.
We would definitely use Emma's place again."
