A fantastic place, the view from the deck out onto St Andrews is amazing and one we will miss seeing. Its really close to Tentsmuir beach which is a great place to spend a day. The eco lodges are built solidly and keep the heat in! The facilities are great, beds are nice and comfy and the bathrooms/showers are big. The supplied cooking equipment meRead moreans you can cook whatever you want without having to bring your own stuff. If you want a nice quiet place to spend a week, this is the place to go. Hide
