  We have just had a week at Seascape and it was a fantastic place to base our break in the area.

  Despite initial concerns from other feedback it was very easy to find. There is a good parking space outside. The views across the Forth from the property are stunning. We certainly lucked out with the weather last week and were able to sit out on a few evenings after arriving back from our days out. The adjacent pub is quiet and worth visiting for a decent meal. You can hear the trains go by but soon get used to it. The nearby station has direct trains to Edinburgh (via the Forth Bridge), Dundee (via the Tay Bridge) and Perth as well as other local destinations so no need to use the car all the time. Inside, the property is clean and well equipped. The kitchen is modern with a cooker, microwave and dishwasher. The sofa and chairs are comfy and there is a smart TV with Netflix etc.. There is a washing machine in the 2nd bedroom which I guess was the only available space for it. The bathroom has a very good hot shower. The heating was fine when the evenings got cold. All in all a great place to stay in a nice village and would highly recommend it.

  PERFECT I have just returned from a fortnight at Shore View (although I had booked the property for a fortnight to get some work done I intend to return at some point this year for a holiday).

  The cottage was modern, warm, clean and very comfortable. The wi-fi connection was solid (I worked from here, including zoom meetings, all with no problems). What is brilliant about the cottage (apart from the obvious sea views) is how near EVERYTHING is, my car was hardly used the two weeks I was there. The beach is a short stroll down the street, the train station is across the road (45 minute direct train into centre of Edinburgh if you want to throw in a city break to your beach holiday) there is a restaurant and a pub (with outdoor seating area looking out to the sea) right next door (so no worrying who can't drink and has to do the driving) – have a meal, a drink watch the footie then just cross the path and your home. There is a corner shop at the other side of the cottages and a few yards further down the street a well stocked co-op shop. The cottage sits just behind the Fife Coastal Path, which is a well marked and busy path, that goes for miles along the coast. It really is a perfect little holiday spot!

  What an exceptional cottage!

  We were blown away by both the property and the location, stunning view from the lounge window. Everything you could need for a stay in a cottage is provided. Paul, the owner was there when we arrived, really nice guy who is at the end of the phone if you need to know anything. Harbour view bar close by but not a sound could be heard, even during the Bank Holiday. Great Chinese take away two minutes walk. Train Station five minutes walk with trains to Edinburgh or Dundee, we went to Edinburgh had a great walk round, lovely lunch, shopping for the ladies and a nice beer with lunch with no concern about driving, the view going over the Forth Rail Bridge is stunning. Great road links take you to many interesting locations in Fife, we needed more than the week, so we will definitely be back at Seascape, one of Sykes’ best properties we have stayed in, oh, thanks for the Prosecco and chocs Paul

  The owners were brilliant, gave us very clear directions to find the property.

  When we arrived there was a nice bottle of prosecco with some chocolates. We were provided with all the stuff we'd need for cleaning dishes surfaces etc which you often don't get at other properties which was great as it meant we didn't have to go and buy anything on our first day we could just get on with our holiday. The beach is barely a five minute walk from the house so we got to spend lots of time lounging about on the beach and could go whenever we felt like. It's a shame they are no longer allowing dogs as we would have loved to come back.

  Absolutely Excellent on every level.

  Love that it was no pets, and like that I can always choose the ‘no pets option’ with Sykes cottages. The cottage was really comfortable, lovely hot shower, The owners had thought of every thing to make our holiday a happy one. High standard of cleanliness throughout. Appreciated cleaning materials and equipment left for our use, even dishwasher tablets. The sea views were lovely, we could watch the sun rise while sitting gazing out of the window from the lovely sofa. Appreciated the wine left for us.
