  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

  Perfect!

  We spent the week of Christmas at Fenton Tower, and it was the most ideal week I’ve had in a long time. The Tower itself is beautiful, wonderfully restored and offering many winding staircases to transport you back to a far away time. It is set in the gorgeous countryside that begs to be gazed at (from the lookout tower up top, out the curtained bathroom windows, or via a stroll around the grounds). Our family was very comfortable in the accommodations, which allowed for each couple to have their own bedroom and en suite bathroom. The owner and the team were phenomenal and had the Tower decorated with Christmas trees and holiday cheer for us when we arrived. It was the perfect place for our family to gather and cozy up by the fire for a Scottish Christmas.

  Wow!!!

  ! What can we say, other than wow!! What a stunning rural cottage. Decorated tastefully, immaculately clean, offering everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Everything worked. Loved the addition of an airfryer too. The bed and bedding was luxurious. The bathroom and shower was amazing. So so lovely to have a washing machine and dryer too. Thankyou!! Exceptional location for exploring and we were so lucky to be there on the blackest of nights to have the northern lights dancing in the sky above us. Wonderful view across the fields watching the hardworking farmer toil the land. Just a wonderful escape from the busyness of life. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend a holiday here to anyone wanting to switch off. Perfect x
