We didn't like having to leave! :)

Norma and Alan are the perfect hosts. Their cottage is absolutely beautiful. Perfectly appointed. Fantastic views. Delicious homemade breakfasts. We felt so comfortable and cared for during the entire stay. It's the ideal location if you want to be just outside of town and surrounded by beauty, with just a 30 minute walk down to town. The breakfast "bonus" every morning is a visit from Elvis, the beautiful ring neck pheasant that makes a very loud and colorful appearance in the yard!

Ideal location for visiting St Andrews. Great views from the BB looking over St Andrews and beyond. Excellent breakfasts with the added touch of home made jams and honey. Perfect hosts.

I have no suggestions for improvement. This B&B is just perfect.

The balmungo cottage breakfast was amazing.It was beautifully presented on a hostess trolley with cereals ,fruit, homemade jam and yoghurt. This was followed by hot food to order and toast. Everything was delicious.

My parents and I had a lovely stay here in October. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with gorgeous views towards St. Andrews. Norma and Alan were superb hosts, very attentive. They were knowledgeable about the area, giving us great suggestions for places to visit and things to do locally. We enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing stay here.

Having to leave.

From our arrival and throughout our visit Norma and Alan were exceptional hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent each morning especially the jams. The beautiful garden was tranquil and full of wildlife- Elvis the pheasant was a delight to watch. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, and the location for us was ideal. Alan was a source of golfing information which was really useful for us.

A great location; although I ended up catching a stomach bug on my flight there, the owners were unbelievably nice and treated me as if I was their own family, fixing some toast late at night for me to be easy on my stomach. Would absolutely stay here again!

Nope, can't think of a thing, other than having to leave oh too soon! It is a lovely space and Alan and Norma are just so welcoming but never ovely intrusive.

The location is glorious - Alan and Norma have created a beautiful and comfy "home from home" The breakfast is amazing, with lots of choices. We especialy loved the home made gooseberry jam and marmalade as well as bread from the local bakery. The gardens are a delight with glorious views across the fields to St Andrews itself. We spent a fair bit of time just chilling, being entertained by the antics of Mr and Mrs Pheasant (named by one of the grandchildren "Elivis" and Priscilla") as they scrambled to feed on seeds in the garden. A wonderful retreat but close to all the amenites and tourist spots around the East Neuk.

Norma & Alan were very gracious and attentive hosts. I loved the location: quiet with beautiful views over the town and the sea. Delicious breakfast every morning, with home-made jam & marmalade. The accommodation is very comfortable and stylish - Norma's love of colour, textiles, pottery is evident everywhere, in all the thoughtful touches and details. Thank you very much!
