is a brand new, purposely designed self catering holiday house.

Activities:
Do nothing - just sit on the veranda or in the garden gazing at the beautiful
Fife countryside. Or if the weather’s wet or cold you can sit inside
and cosy up to the multi-fuel stove in the living room and look through
the big picture windows. If you brought your own horses you could saddle
them up in the cottage’s own paddock and go riding along the adjacent
bridleways which will take you through Devilla forest. Or you could take
your bicycle out of the cottage’s built-in garage and take off along
the West Fife Cycleway which runs just a few yards away. You could stroll
down a quiet country lane to the historic Royal Burgh of Culross and explore
its narrow cobbled streets and visit its famous palace and Town House.
While you’re there why not eat at the renowned Red Lion Inn? If
Culross has whetted your taste for history it’s less than an hour
to the historic Scottish cities of Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth or Dunfermline.
