Beccy United Kingdom

The house is central for walking its spotless a home from home everything you need just bring yourselves and your clothes garden us fab

Yvonne United Kingdom

We had a wonderful time in Anstruther. The cottage is just beautiful. It really has everything you could possibly want. All rooms are lovingly furnished and the decoration is wonderfully coordinated. We felt comfortable from the first second. The garden is delightful and since the weather was good, we could also eat outside. The care by the owners was brilliant and we were well informed. It was really a feeling like at home. There is a bus stop right in front of the door, the beach is about 10 minutes walk, shopping is also close by, the harbor is also just a few minutes away. You should definitely visit the Dreel Taverne, which is right in the neighboring house, the food is so delicious. Our expectations of Dreel Cottage were far exceeded. Definitely go there once!

What a lovely little find. The cottage was absolutely perfect for the 4 of us. It was more spacious than expected. Very well equipped and the little touches just made it special. When we arrived my husband accidentally broke the toilet handle. I txt Alan and he responded quickly and fixed it as soon as he could. We had such a relaxing time in the cottage, you are very close to lovely restaurants and the sea. I would definitely recommend Dreel Cottage to my friends and will definitely be booking again.

Parking for one car is available adjacent to the cottage. The rooms are spacious and very well equipped.
