    A treat to have duck eggs for breakfast. Breakfast was perfect down to the chill tray where the milk and fruit juices were. Our hostess was relaxed, friendly and welcoming. Beautiful marmalade and jam for our toast. The farm is set in beautiful countryside with a pond and ducks outside our bedroom window. We would definitely recommend this B & B and hope to return ourselves. Thank you.

    This is one of the jewels you cannot ignore and is a must stay although you have to drive another 30 miles just to sleep one night. As we did. Great accomodation, great location, super nice landlords... One word - fabolous.

    The room is very comfortable with a full size bathroom en suite. There is a pond with lots of ducks which provide eggs for breakfast if you desire one. It is very picturesque. It has easy access to the Fife coastal villages, Anstruther and St Andrews, by car.

    The farmhouse is extremely clean an comfortable. The room was immaculate and we were given a flask of milk on arrival for tea/coffee which was a nice touch. It is in a picturesque setting, a working but immaculate farm. The hostess is warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay

    Nothing. No complaints at all. Great Stay.

    A lovely property in a beautiful location. Anne, the host, is a wonderful, friendly, helpful person. The breakfast was exceptional with delicious duck eggs and the best marmalade I have probably ever tasted. Room was everything I needed and I would highly recommend staying there. Will definitely try to book here again when next in this area. Also, incredible value for money!

    If I had to be critical, I would mention the fact that the bedroom had no locks, the loose bolt would sometimes release the main bedroom door which may invade your privacy. This, in the first impression, did make me a little uneasy, considering I didn't know the property size, capacity, owner that well, at the start. There is no key provided to your bedroom because there is no way to lock it. So, you may think if it's safe to leave your belongings in the room which has no way of securing a lock. Having said that, Anne explained to us that this place only has 2 bedrooms for their guests/lodgers, so at one time, you will not have more than 2 families/guests living in this place. There are no hooks behind the bathroom doors to hang clothes. The front door remains open until midnight, again no lock/key provided to the guests. However, we did not stay later than 12 midnight so it was no problem for us. There is no restaurant/cafe close to this as it is in the middle of a farm, so ensure you are stacked up before returning to the B&B - it is a single track road like any farmland area so driving for food may be challenging for some in the winter/foggy months, or in the dark.

    The lady who mainly runs the B&B, called Anne, is amazing from Day 1 that it is hard not to like something about this place. The place is quiet, breakfast was freshly made everyday, with eggs from their own farm ducks. This B&B is in the middle of a farm, overlooking a tiny farm hill on one side and a pond with ducks on the other. The view from the bedroom can easily inspire the poet in you. Anne leave cookies, coffee, milk and sugar very generously in your room everyday, fill water for you, making the stay more pleasant. There is green farm land surrounding this place for miles making it perfect for someone looking for peace and quiet. We wanted to stay closer to St. Andrews for daily commute so this worked out really well as it was the only budget and good place within a 10miles drive from St Andrews. There is enough parking space for your car which is free and safe. They provide toiletry for your bath. The toilet had both shower as well as a bath. The couple that runs the place lives in this property and their main entrance door is open until 12 midnight which makes it easier for a late check in. The charging socket cubes were very helpful in their rooms if you have more than two gadgets to charge at once, which was in our case.

    We both prefer feather pillows so missed not having those, not a huge issue, still slept fine.

    Fantastic breakfast, plenty of choice, and really nice to have fresh duck eggs available. The hosts were very helpful. The location is great, really quiet, the only noise being the ducks! Well placed for Edinburgh, St Andrews, Perth and Dundee.
