What our customers say about their holidays

  The location is excellent being a short walk into town and lots to see and do in the surrounding area.

  The quiet street, plenty off road parking, gardens front and back and the path at the rear of the house were real plus points. The house itself has small rooms and the furniture in the lounge is so uncomfortable, especially if there are 4 adults as there's only a couch and 1 chair. (no adult likes to sit in the middle of 2 others on a couch!) We felt that 2 x 2 seater couches would be much more comfortable and relaxing. The double bed is narrow and the 2 x singles are more suited to 2 children. There are some grotty old rugs around on the floor that we just put in a pile in the corner of the rooms during our stay. The kitchen is fairly old fashioned with a protruding cupboard that you have to be careful you don't bump your head on and a fridge that opens on the wall side. There's a useless old table in there that just makes it feel smaller. It was adequate to cook some meals in, but basic with very little extras eg empty roll of tin foil, only enough washing up liquid for 2 days, no J-cloths or scrubbers, very basic small supply of cheap crockery, a "welcome pack" that consisted of a pint of milk and 3 kit kats (for 4 people) which was so pathetic we would rather not have had anything. The shower was great and the bathroom looked clean and modern, however 1 hand towel between 4 was also quite stingy! Outside there is a small bistro set in the garden, which is again only for 2 people. This house could be fabulous but we just felt the owner obviously doesn't want to spend anything on it, despite guests paying an average of around £600 a week.

  Lovely cottage right in the heart of a beautiful village.

  Walks from your doorstep but also convenient for the Fife Coastal Path and St Andrews. The cottage does have restricted height in the upper floor and a staircase that you would struggle with if you had limited mobility but it does outline that in the description and for us it just added to the character of the building. What was amazing was the large free standing copper bath which was a delight to have a long soak in after a day out walking. And a real fire but the heating alone made the cottage warm and cosy during what turned out to be quite a cold, wet spell of weather. Not all the village is dog friendly but the establishments that are turned out to be very dog friendly. The Stag Inn not only welcomes your pooch but also catered very well for coeliacs. Friendly staff, lovely food and very good value for money. Parking isn't right outside your property but the free car park is just across the road and you can load and unload outside the cottage for a few minutes. It was a pleasure to stay right in the heart of such a stunning village just round the corner from Falkland Palace .... easy to see why Outlander chose the area for filming their tv series. Our staffie loved her holiday just as much as we did and the cottage made an ideal base for us

  We had a wonderful honeymoon at Dunira!

  It was absolutely spotless when we got there and there was even a little gift waiting for us as newlyweds which was so lovely! My husband is over 6ft tall but was still comfortable walking around upstairs in the eves. The bed was comfortable and bed sheets were lush too (I actually had a snoop at what brand they were so I could purchase some!) We had the log burner on most nights and made use of the beautiful bath tub - it’s a stunning feature! Parking was a dream and there was lots to do in the village! Helen’s Bakery do AMAZING pies and breakfast sandwiches, and Campbells was lovely for lunch! Falkland Palace was a stones throw from Dunira and we spent a lovely couple of hours there wandering about. We drove to Ladybank to catch the train into Edinburgh as we were told it was a pain to park in Edinburgh. The train was only an hour and was £20 return for both of us. We also drove to Glenrothes to have a mooch round the shopping centre and do a bit of food shopping (there’s Aldi, Marks and Spencer, Asda etc). We will absolutely be booking another stay in the summer!

  This was the best vacation stay I have ever had the pleasure to stay in.

  We stayed here 2 weeks in March and this provided us such an amazing reset we needed! The owners have restored this cottage impeccably and managed to make it equally modern AND cozy. We immediately felt like we were home when we arrived. The kitchen is beautiful and we were surprised to see was stocked with many things we thought we would need to run out and buy. Fires in the living room every evening. The house was very warm and wifi worked in every room which was important as we were both working every day. The bed was very comfortable. But the BEST part, was the bath. There is also a sweet yard but was too cold to use it when we were there. The hosts communicated well with us. The cleaning staff was friendly and efficient. The pictures online 100% are accurate and the value for money based on the cottage and it's amazing location in the middle of town makes this a no brainer. Only thing to note- upstairs has sloped ceilings so be prepared to tilt your head when entering the bathroom and the bedroom. Thank you so much, we will be back!

  Could not have been happier.

  Lovely comfortable cottage with a kitchen that was really appreciated. Had family over for lunches and dinners and never felt stressed. Comfortable bed for good nights sleeps, warm and controllable heating (we found 16-18'c on the start was perfect) and an incredible bath that I thought I was going to need to need arm bands! Stunning village, increadable walks on the door step and no issue with taking our little dog into The Stag pH. You have to do the Waterfall Walk which is especially stunning during and after heavy rain. Village bakers, convenience store, greengrocers, cafe's, hotels and pubs and yet only 15mins to Glenrothes for big shops if you want. Also recommend the walk from St. Monans to Anstruther for fish and chip lunch, and the walk back to pick your car up again to burn off the calories. Just remember to take your walking shoes with you everywhere, you'll regret it otherwise. So settled there, we already booked to come back in February. Truly a lovely break, thank you Dunira.
