    Although our twin room was a bit on the small side for us, the beds were very comfortable and the en suite bathroom was lovely.

    Excellent breakfast choices. Nice lounge for guests upstairs with snacks and a great book swap library. Lots of magazines and information of the area. The building itself is gorgeous. No traffic noise and easy access to all major coastal routes.

    The only fault was the mattress which could probably do with being changed as it was a bit uncomfortable . Everything else was perfect.

    Beautiful, clean B+B . Great location for travel into Edinburgh. The owners are very welcoming and nothing is too much bother for them. Lovely facilities. Good selection for breakfast which are cooked to order. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we will be back.

    NOTHING could have been better!

    We loved EVERYTHING. Yvonne and Stephen were the perfect hosts, always working at the "beyond the call of duty" level. On the logistics front they were super-efficient and on the rapport front they were absolutely charming. The house is also lovely. The combination is an atmosphere of serenity, good vibrations and ongoing sense of humour... which are totally captivating and make you want to come back in the near future.

    Everything was great! She gave us suggestions for a place for afternoon snack and then a great place for supper.

    We had to leave earlier than when breakfast is normally served and she made us breakfast. Got up early and had it all ready. Above and beyond for sure. And gave us great directions to the airport.

    Nothing to not like about our stay.

    Breakfast was outstanding, nicely presented , very fresh and delicious. Location was perfect. 5 to 10 minute walk from the station. Our room was ready early which was a bonus and we could leave our bags after we had checked out so that we could go off to enjoy the area before our train. Yvonne and Steve were very helpful, friendly and we would definitely stay here again.

    We were greeted by Yvonne with a warm welcome. The building is a former church/chapel that has been very well renovated. Both the bedroom and ensuite were a good size and the bed very comfy. There was a good selection for breakfast and everything was delicious. Kinghorn is a good base for exploring Fife and going into Edinburgh. Thank you Yvonne and Steve for a lovely stay.

    The owners were very friendly and gave us useful advice for travelling / visiting in and around Kinghorn. The B&B is nicely decorated and its's convesion from an old church into a guesthouse is quite interesting. It is located in a charming costal village, close to the train and bus stations. The room was exceptional (soft carpet, confortable bed, very good pillows, big bathroom with a wide range of toiletry products) and we enjoyed the silence and the fresh air. There is also a sitting room available for guest to relax indoor and an open air table/chairs next to the parking. We enjoyed our breakfast that was made fresh in the morning. As we checked out early in the morning, we received sandwiches for the road.

    I couldn't stay longer! :)

    Location was perfect for work in Kirkaldy the next morning. Yvonne was absolutely fabulous - so welcoming when I arrived without being overbearing. Everything was prepped and ready for my stay. Check in was quick and efficient. The room was utterly spotless and the bed was sooo comfortable. I had to be up and off early for work but Yvonne made sure coffee and breakfast was ready for me. Would recommend this to anyone and will defo stay again if I am back in the area. As a woman travelling for work on my own I had no concerns at all. Thanks Yvonne!

    The mattress was a little softer than we have at home but still provided support It was baby seagull rearing season but the owner has recognised this as an issue and provides quality earplugs for an undisturbed night's sleep

    Excellent value for money for a location that's only 40 minutes from Edinburgh. Breakfast was good with a selection of cereals, fruit & yoghurt, Tea & fresh Coffee, as well as the traditional full English or elements of. The bedrooms were modern and well fitted out as is the bathroom with a modern spacious shower. There's only 4 rooms in use at the property at any given time so it lends towards a more friendly atmosphere, less crowded and pretty quiet. There's a seperate lounge for guests too. There's ample parking out front for 4 cars but it's a tricky exit on a blind corner - traffic should only being doing 20mph but often isnt.

    The location is right on a corner, so it’s really scary pulling in and out of the carpark as you can’t see if anything is coming. May be a good idea to fit one of them domed round mirrors opposite so you can see traffic coming instead of feeling like you are taking a gamble.

    Gorgeous building inside and out, and the rooms are nature-themed and beautifully decorated. Spotlessly clean and lots of lovely little touches. The breakfast is local, fresh produce cooked to order, also lots to of fruits, cereals, nuts and seeds and yogurt to choose from. The owners are so friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

    Our hosts Stephen & Yvonne were very friendly & welcoming. Stephen was very kind in taking our luggage up to our room as I had mobility issues. They also had a wealth of knowledge about the local area, not only places to visit & things to do, but also places to eat. Very good breakfast choices, very good & comfortable bedroom, with good facilities & excellent en-suite. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

    While the property is very interesting (an old church building) and within convenient driving distance from the airport and St. Andrews, where we spent the day, Kinghorn itself seemed a little dreary. If you're hoping to have cute shops and cafes within walking distance, it's not that kind of place. But with a car it was just fine and we'd go again because of the comfort and hospitality Yvonne provides.

    Yvonne was a delightful and helpful host. She welcomed us warmly and with big smiles, offered to let me nap on the lounge couch if needed since we arrived early and were tired from overseas travel. The decor was fresh and bright, pleasantly traditional, very comfortable. Rooms are small, but a large lounge with couches, books, television was right across the hall if desired. I slept soundly for 12 hours. Yvonne provided earplugs just in case, toiletries with explanations about local sourcing, coffee/tea/biscuits. She also let us know that we'd have a special offering at breakfast the next morning if interested (and we were!)--smoked haddock in cream sauce and melted English cheddar over a thin rolled omelet. The food was delicious, fruit/yogurt, etc. Yvonne seemed to love her work and hosting guests. We thoroughly enjoyed staying with her!
