We had a truly great holiday at Earth Ship. Ally and Lisa, the owners, were wonderful hosts. The kitchen was very well equipped. Seemed to lack nothing. Also the "welcome breakfast pack" lasted for days. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms/showrooms were excellent with practically instant hot water. The lounge area was gRead morereat for exactly that, lounging. Only used the log fire one night. Everyone fell asleep. The large scale ordnance survey map of the area on the lounge wall is brilliant. Used the hot tub most evenings. Great for winding down. Love the upcycling/reuse throughout the building. The old gymnasium floor is a masterstroke. As are the RJ11 telephone cord pull switches for the bathroom lights. The view out over Loch Leven will take a lot of beating. You can climb higher on the farm tracks if you want more. We were blessed by really good weather with warm days and clear nights. With a nearly full moon sitting in the hot tub at 22:00 looking out at the view will be a lasting memory. Lambing was in full swing during our stay so we got meet and feed the "pet lambs". Brilliant stay all round. We will definitely return. Many thanks to Ally and Lisa. Hide
