Summary: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Binny Cottage! The location was a dream, finding the property and parking were both simple, and the cottage itself was perfectly cozy, clean, and extremely well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up some beautiful meals with local ingredients and Sam and Jeremy's tips on where to go made our stay in Pittenweem feel like a home away from home.We can't thank you both enough for our wonderful Christmas holiday in Scotland! And we're already discussing a return!

Summary: We had a glorious week in this beautiful house in Pittenweem helped no doubt by the unseasonably warm and sunny weather. The area is very scenic with lots of farm and fish shops which we enjoyed visiting. The house itself is lovely - very comfortable, warm and inviting with a real sun trap of a garden which we used every day. Gloriously private and quiet too! Would hesitate to recommend!

Summary: This is a lovely property, very serene with lots of light, a gorgeous garden, and stunning views from the upper floors. I needed someplace that felt quiet and private but not isolated and this totally fit the bill… it was right in town but tucked away on a steep, narrow lane that only allows for foot traffic. If anyone in your party has mobility issues, this property probably isn’t right - you have to walk yourself and your luggage up the lane with has some stairs as well, and the house itself is on three floors. For me it was absolutely perfect, and it would be great for a larger party as it has three lovely bedrooms and two full baths, and the kitchen is large with a big table and there is lovely outdoor furniture as well. The hosts were wonderful, very communicative and helpful. All in all, a very well run property in a beautiful setting. I felt very lucky to have stayed there.

Summary: Beautiful property, comfortable beds, perfect location, beautiful garden. All perfect, no complaints (only thing to note and people could be made aware of is had children there once and when back door and front door open at same it’s a bit of a wind tunnel, need to prop front door open otherwise it slams and it’s heavy and child nearly got caught - just useful to be aware of it!) Thanks so much for a lovely holiday!
