“Short break”

Reviewed 24 Jul 2020

Had such a lovely time at this beautiful little cottage, so tastefully decorated. We had a day of rain but spent a lovely afternoon playing some of the games available and loved our cosy day in. We’ll definitely be back. Pittenweem is a lovely wee village and accessible to lots of other towns along the Fife coast....also very friendly folk.
