About the host
Hosted by Katy Stevenson
Katy and Geoff bought the cottage recently and loved it! We have really enjoyed furnishing and partly renovating it to create a magical and beguiling atmosphere, and hearing how much our guests love it too. Katy is an artist and art teacher, and Geoff, as well as his day job, loves playing music, and our family share our love of art and music too. We don't always meet our guests in person, but have really enjoyed helping our guests to have a lovely holiday and feel as though we have made a lot of friends with the people who are drawn to stay here.
Why they chose this property
The cottage was built in 1840, is made of traditional stone, and still has many of the original doors and features. We love old buildings and have tried to enhance the charming traditional qualities with sensitively chosen features such as tiles, including Delft tiles, fabrics and furniture. We have found some old photographs of the road, and have been informed by our builders that there had been another building next to it originally, and an external staircase to the upper floor (now an attic) which might have been a separate dwelling, and probably housed a cottage industry such as weaving.
What makes this property unique
Our guests have found it to be a supremely relaxing place to unwind, and take a break from busy life. They have been befriended by villagers in the local pubs, and have also found it to be an excellent base from which to explore the delights of Fife, and further afield to Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth. Some have joked that we would have to find another property as they weren't leaving!
