Quirky and unusual chalet in an excellent location.
Pros:

Excellent central location, yet set in a large garden that made it feel rural. Brilliant view from the large glass doors. Quirky and unusual chalet layout. All the facilities needed for a short stay. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Cons:

Compact layout of chalet was just fine for a short break but maybe not ideal for a longer stay when you might need more storage space. Shower was interesting and versatile but controls were not so obvious to a new user. Access was up a steep hill so might be challenging if you have mobility issues.

Pros:

Location was great. People were lovely. We thought we had booked the small house which was our fault be fair so a little bit disappointed with that could do with changing the pillows. It was like sleeping on a brick.

Séjour pour les highland games sur une île peu touristique , jolie car il a fait beau
Pros:

Nous allions aux highland games et l’emplacement pour ça était idéal . La Co-op est très proche et nous avons pu chercher facilement des commissions . Une fois installé c’est privatif avec une vue sur le port à travers les arbres. La traversée en ferry est super, et la gare de Wemyss baie à ne pas manquer

Cons:

C’est quand même assez petit et coincé , on s’est habitué mais ça demandait d’être organisé . le sol est très très froid, et le chauffage pas vraiment suffisant. Le « très grand lit «  est juste un lit double posé sur une plate-forme un peu élevée et c’est pas idéal. La salle de bain est minuscule et la douche trop compliquée .
Mais sur 3 nuits on a trouvé nos repères et passé un bon séjour.

Beautiful house in a great location
Pros:

We received a lovely warm welcome to this gorgeous house. Our room had a fantastic view out to the port. We had a short walk down the steps through the lovely garden into the town. Would highly recommend a stay here
