Magical Cottage
We had a wonderful time staying in this magical cottage. It was lovely and cosy. The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need and more. One of the windows from the kitchen looks over the lovely natural wild garden and it was lovely being able to sit in the garden in the evenings, watching the birds and other wildlife. The cottage and the surrounding area was lovely and quite. Trevor our host, was very helpful and responded to any questions we had very quickly, which was a massive help. The cottage is also five minutes walk to The Glen (Pittencrieff Park), which is a beautiful park. The rail station is a 30 minute walk and the bus station is around a 10 minute walk from the Cottage. We would definitely come back and stay at this magical cottage.

A very comfortable and charming cottage, which has everything that you will need.
Had a really lovely stay, the cottage in really close to Dunfermline centre and the Glen, so everything this was close to hand and at easy reach. The cottage was very comfortable and welcoming, with free wifi, which we took advantage off. I found everything was very clean with fresh towels all folded and waiting for us on our arrival. The weather was fortunately really nice on our weeks stay which made our holiday perfect.
I would recommend staying in this cottage to anyone that is visiting/staying in Dunfermline. The Sherlock family

Nice place, nice location
Very comfortable house in a great location in easy walking distance to town centre and beautiful park.
Stayed nice and warm throughout a very cold two months.
We would recommend it even for a short stay and would definitely rent it again if the occasion arises.

The cottage was well equipped for our family of five. We enjoyed our stay in Scotland and it was a pleasant place to rest our heads at the end of a busy day of exploring.

Hält nicht, was sie verspricht
Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war schnell und gut – das ist positiv zu bewerten. Die Unterkunft allerdings war enttäuschend. Ja, wir haben keine 5-Sterne-Unterkunft erwartet, aber teilweise war die Tapete abgerissen oder blätterte ab, in manche Ecken durfte man nicht genau hinschauen, die sanitären Räume bestehen aus einem winzigen Raum mit Duschkabine und einem zweiten kleinen Raum mit Toilette und kleinem Waschbecken (von Badezimmer kann man eigentlich gar nicht sprechen), der Garten ist total verwildert und es gibt nur zwei Gartenstühle, obwohl für 4 Personen vermietet wurde ... Einmal, bei sehr starkem Regen, tropfte es in der Küche (Anbau) durch die Decke! Das sind nur einige Punkte – es scheint seit 40 Jahren nichts mehr gemacht worden zu sein, außer dass es unbegrenzt WLAN und einen großen TV gibt. Es mag sein, dass die Unterkunft nach englischen Maßstäben in Ordnung ist, nach deutschen allerdings nicht. Wir können, Stand August 2023, keine Empfehlung aussprechen. Und wir haben tatsächlich schon einige Selbstversorger-Urlaubsunterkünfte erlebt.

Schottischer Charm
Die Wohnung selbst ist in einem nicht renovierten Zustand. Es lassen sich keine Fenster öffnen. Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Dunfermline ist ein schöner Ort gut gelegen, um Trips Richtung Edinburgh und dem norden der Lowlands zu machen.

Drei Sterne
An diese Wohnung mussten wir uns erst gewöhnen. So ähnlich wohnten meine Großeltern. Die Haustür ist verzogen, kaum Abstellfläche in Toilette und Bad, wenige Haken für Garderobe und Handtücher. Die Aussicht vorne geht auf die Straße und auf eine von einem Bauzaun umzäunte Rasenfläche und hinten auf den verwilderten Garten, zu dem von der Küche eine steile Treppe hinunterführt. Im Wohnzimmer ist es sehr dunkel. Fenster sind schwer zu öffnen.
In den Garten geht man eigentlich nicht. In der Küche haben wir kaum gekocht; die Töpfe waren sehr abgenutzt.
Aber es hat etwas sehr Gemütliches. Das Wohnzimmer ist ein Zuhause, wenn man lange unterwegs war. Und das Bett im Schlafzimmer ist sehr gut.
Dunfermline ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge; mit dem Zug ist man in 35 min mitten in Edinburgh. Wir waren in Stirling, Glasgow, Pitlochry, Perth, St. Andrews und an der Küste. Auch Dunfermline haben wir besucht. Von der Wohnung geht es in der Seitenstraße bergab in einem wunderbaren Park.
Und Mr. Smith ist ein liebenswürdiger Mann.
