The property sits in truly enchanting gardens and is an oasis of charm enhanced by the sound of the babbling brook and resident songbirds. Views extend over these gardens, across the Charleton golf course and over the Firth of Forth to Berwick Law.

The accommodation is as restful as the location with comfortable open plan living and spacious bedroom facilities. Picture windows offer unrestricted views as an alternative to watching internet enabled smart TV from the reclining sofa. Free wifi is available.

Outside, guests can enjoy the expansive grounds and water features of the main property as well as their own private garden and barbecue area. Alternatively they can stroll up to the stables.

Alternatively you can enjoy the very same seafood in some of the very best restaurants Scotland has to offer.

Explore the fascinating culture and history of the East Neuk along with its historic castles (some reputably haunted) where you enjoy can fine interiors and enchanting walled gardens with woodland and meadow walks.

Short break
The property was very comfortable and attractively furnished. Two observations (which are not criticisms but where improvement could be made for the comfort of visitors) - the fridge / freezer is small and the fridge compartment being at floor level is not easy for an elderly person to access. There should be either a dressing table in the bedroom (where the recliner is) for the benefit of ladies who want to put on make-up and / or a table of some sort where suitcases can be put.
