Our second visit to this property. It’s in a lovely location and has all you need. The bed is probably the most comfortable Airbnb bed we’ve slept in, and it has a large and comfortable roomy seating area in the lounge. Beautiful views over the sea, particularly at sunrise, and lovely walks nearby. The Harbourmasters cafe 5 minutes away is a must for breakfast, lunch, or even just a coffee. – February 2023
We loved our stay. It was beautiful and so nice to have our own kitchen to cook in. The house is near great walking trails and near a lovely breakfast/lunch spot. So nice to be close to the ocean and beaches. Would definitely recommend this place. Very clean and has everything you need. – January 2023
Wonderful cottage great location. We felt very comfortable and especially enjoyed the great view of the sea. The equipment of the kitchen was great and in the large rooms we felt very comfortable
Great view of the sea and with ships in view most days. St. Andrews easily accessible by bus and great for walking along the coast
Lovely cottage full of character and equipped with everything you will need for your stay.
John McDouall Stuart View was beautifully furnished and very well-equipped, in a picturesque setting. It was exactly as described in the listing, with a parking space a few yards away and marvellous views over the Firth of Forth.” – Guest review;
Quirky, historic building in ideal setting near the harbour. Lovely sea views. Accommodation clean and fresh, with ample facilities. Coming back in September!-
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It’s bright, airy, well-equipped and beautifully cared for, with a wonderful view over the Firth. We found it made a good base for visiting the Neuk villages and other interesting places in Fife, and with easy access to Kirkcaldy station, was ideal for a day out in Edinburgh and visiting friends in Dundee.-
Very beautiful apartment, great coast and landscape, perfect vacations !
The property was right next to the ocean and allowed for strolls along the rocky coast at any time. The village itself was rather quaint and nice and only an hour and half from Edinburgh by bus. Fairly easy to get everywhere without a vehicle. Upon our arrival we found a complimentary loaf of bread, some milk, and a bottle of wine to start us off. We also found several binders with information about the property and the surrounding village.
We really enjoyed our stay in Dysart as we have done for a very long time. The property is very spacious for 2 and comfortable. My wife comes from Kirkcaldy so we have lots of family and friends to see, which we did. Hopefully we we will do it all again next year.
Comfortable quiet stay in this cottage. Lovely sea views, and walks along the coast within a stone’s throw.
We really enjoyed our stay at Dysart. The cottage had everything we needed, great views, a quiet location and so much history. Lovely walk in Ravenscraig Park past the Harbourmasters House and so convenient for Kirkcaldy and the rest of Fife. Would certainly want to stay here again if we were coming back to the area.
