Lovely to hear guests enjoy their stay and thank you for taking the time to leave a review and being great guests. Welcome back anytime.
Charming property which was spotlessly clean, check in process easy as the host had explained in great detail all we needed to know. Nice location within easy distance of all attractions and local beaches which our wee dog loved. Really enjoyed our stay and would most definitely book again if staying in the area. Overall very happy and good value for money.
Easy check in, fantastic property. Would certainly recommend to friends and family staying in the area. Perfect location just along from the two coffee shops

We had a really lovely time and we couldn’t fault anything! The cottage was extremely well equipped and it was just like home from home! Including a wood burning stove! Communication with the host was excellent and we will most certainly return for another stay. The property is set in a beautiful area with lots of places to visit within a short walking or driving distance and a great area for dog walking too.

The cottage was lovely, clean and tidy when we arrived. A very homely feel and nice quiet location.Nice big shower, bath and log fire, all the things we were looking for. Down to the harbour in minutes, with coffee shops, pubs and shops a couple of minutes walk away.Couldn’t have asked for more.

The cottage was beautiful - very comfortable and well equipped with everything of good quality. We loved the location which was easy walking distance of cafes (both good) and a super restaurant by the harbour. The weather was wet and windy so the wood burning stove was lovely and cosy to come back to after being out and about. We had a great wee break.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage, tips on how too get the most out of the wood burner would have been good and an explanation on how heating worked.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Bruce and sorry that you found it difficult to light the fire. The instructions on how the heating works is in the information I sent to you before your stay. Just turn not push the thermostat in the hall.
Glad you enjoyed your stay though.
Thanks again…..

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Kirk
We are Cathy & Douglas and have now retired so enjoying all that the change of lifestyle has to offer! We have been enjoying travelling abroad in our Motorhome since retiring and when not on the road we are in Edinburgh.... or Pittenweem! We love the relaxation and peace and quiet in Pittenweem and the surrounding villages, but of course always manage a wee visit to St Andrews for a spot of shopping and a long walk on the beach. We have a Cocker Spaniel - Bella who loves the Fife Coastal Path and keeps us fit.
Why they chose this property
We just loved the quirkiness of Kirkgate and the fact that it was for two. We wanted a bolthole that wasn't too far away, was modern and relaxing and after doing a fair bit of work on the cottage we hope we've achieved that. My surname is Kirk and the fact that the cottage was already named Kirkgate Cottage and is on Kirkgate was an added bonus!!!! Haha....
What makes this property unique
Kirkgate is a quirky, pretty cottage. It's a quiet and relaxing wee place for two with all you need for a great romantic break. We always feel refreshed after a few nights at the cottage and sleep great because it's so quiet. There's a lovely roll top bath in the bedroom to have a soak after a long walk on the Coastal Path.
