The lodge is situated conveniently close to St.Andrews and the villages of Anstruther, Crail etc. It is immaculate, spacious, and very comfortable. It is south facing so it benefits from great sunrises and sunsets and a great view over the fields and beyond. And the icing on the cake is the hot tub avaiable at all times. There are wind turbines quiRead morete close and they make a swooshing sound but not a problem, its low level- and cant be heard inside. Look forward to a return visit. Hide
