    The sofas were a little firm difficult to lay on comfortably, which you wanted to do to enjoy wildlife in surrounding area.

    The location was great, the facilities exceeded expectations, the eco and sustainability living has made us revisit our own environmental footprint. The teepee was excellent fun evening enjoyed toasting marshmallows. What a great experience sharing the area with hares and roe deer would definitely recommend for couples or families. Don’t forgot there is a beach as well to explore.

    Nothing - we liked everything.

    We loved everything about this cosy little cabin. It's a beautifully conceived and well thought out eco-friendly retreat - back to nature in comfort & style! Couldn't have asked for more, thoroughly enjoyed our stay & really didn't want to leave. Also set in a fantastic location, with a super cafe which has very friendly staff.

    The sofa area could have a bit more cushioning, but it was still comfy

    It was very cozy - even in the chill of January! It had everything we needed (even things we forgot at home), was very quiet and we were very impressed with all the thought that had gone into making the property as eco friendly as possible. We have now bought our own set of Dock & Bay towels too!

    We were looking for seclusion. We knew this was an estate that others could walk around, but it is a shame that the path by the Bothy ran in front of it, rather than behind it. This somewhat dented the feeling of peaceful seclusion, especially when small children run up and bang on the door.

    The Bothy was comfortable and clean. All the facilities were as described.

    Exceptional Christmas retreat

    A couple minor points for improvement would be additional matches and kindling for the fire. We didnt have enough matches for our stay and no axe to make kindling from the dry wood supplied. The welcome treat that was waiting for us was a nice touch but it would be better if this was vegan/GF and therefore suitable for anybody.

    Cosy retreat within close reach of the beach and golf course. It was really well kitted out and the perfect place to shut off from the world for a few days.

    The weather was terrible, wet and very windy. We really needed an outdoor area that was covered to use the gas barbecue. We couldn’t use the barbecue as the weather was so bad. This is crucial as there isn’t an oven. In Scotland, a sheltered area for cooking is surely a must???

    Beautiful location, lovely views. Accommodation was so great, beds were very comfortable. Kids loved it, as did the grown ups

    Although most of the below are not negatives about the property, there are some things you should be aware of prior to your visit: - You should note that the location of the Bothy is not accessible by car and there is some walking required to reach the location and you will need to pull all your luggage to the Bothy (there are a few wagons available in the parking area for you to use). Once you reach the location though it’s well worth it. - Be prepared for absolutely no service or WiFi. However, the company that operates the Bothy is called Off Grid Travel so that’s really to be expected! - It can get really cold in Fife (we visited in October).

    The Bothy is a great place to relax away from a busy city and enjoy the Scottish countryside and Fife. There were a lot of lovely and thoughtful touches inside the property (like hot water bottles, a hammock and chairs, extra throws and blankets as it can get cold in Fife as well as portable lights and torches and even marshmallows to roast on the fire). Although the Bothy was quite small every inch of it was maximised by having a lot of clever storage spaces incorporated into the furniture. You can tell that most things inside the Bothy were bespoke, like the blinds and furniture, and a lot of thought and care was put into choosing them. What was also great was that we were offered the option to purchase a handmade hamper of local goods by the St Andrews Hamper Co that was delivered to the Bothy prior to our arrival. Overall, it was a great place to visit and we’ve had a lovely time there.

    We loved everything about it, a full length brush to give the room a sweep would be handy

    Great spot just within the treeline with loads of space that's got the fire pit, a bench and the hammock to use. The water tower also has fold up chairs, a gas BBQ, but most useful was the massive cool box, which really kept everything very cold as the fridge in the Bothy is small and didn't fit all our beers 😀 The view was amazing, especially at sunrise and its less than 10 mins walk to the beach. Wagon trolley is an inspired idea too, really helped when taking our gear the short walk to the accommodation.

    Better facilities for keeping food cool and fresh as after 2 days the freezer blocks has melted which resulted in us having to throw away fresh meat. If guests are staying for longer than 2 nights somebody needs to pop down and swap the freezer blocks for fresh ones.

    The location was stunning, peace and quiet and away from everything and could fully switch off and relax. Beautiful surroundings and beaches.
