About this property

Charming Apartment with Stunning Sea Views with links to Dundee and Edinburgh

John McDouall Stuart View is a one-bedroom apartment which sleeps 5. It is located in the quiet village of Dysart. The apartment is based in a restored Period building across the first and second floor. On the first floor there is a spacious living/dining area, with a large dining table that seats 6, plenty of comfortable seating where you can relax and take in the breath-taking views out to sea. Within the living room there is a Smart TV with DVD player, a selection of DVD’s and books. The lounge area has one armchair and a four-seater sofa, the sofa is also a double sofa bed. A washing machine/dryer is located in a cupboard off the living room. Off the living room is a well-equipped kitchen with hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and fridge. Within the kitchen you will find all of the essentials that you would need in a kitchen, including tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper.
On the upper floor is a comfortable double bedroom with sloped ceiling and lovely sea views. The bed can be made up as a super-king bed or two singles. (Please confirm which set up you would like when booking), within the bedroom there is also a full single bed set up. Should you also need a cot/high-chair these are available on request. There is also a modern bathroom with toilet, sink and shower on the upper level next to the bedroom. Freshly-laundered towels and bed-linen are all provided.
This is a non-smoking property and we do not allow pets. The property is based up a set of stone steps and there are stairs within the property. There is no lift access. There is plenty of parking on the street outside the apartment and on the high street behind the property.

(The additional single bed in the bedroom and the sofa bed / armchair in the living room is new and new photos will be uploaded shortly).

Just a few minutes away at Dysart Harbour, some key scenes from Outlander was filmed.
John McDouall Stuart View is an ideal stopping-off point if you are en-route to the Highlands, looking for close links to Fife's world-famous golf courses, or walking the Fife Coastal Path. The apartment is owned by Fife Historic Buildings Trust, a local Building Preservation Trust. It is a company limited by guarantee and has charitable status. It was formed in 1997 primarily for the purpose of saving and restoring historic buildings in Fife which are at risk. We are very proud of our beautiful historic building and would love to welcome you here.

John McDouall Stuart was born in this house in 1815 and later emigrated ‘down under’ where he led the first expedition to cross Australia from south to north in 1862. He is a celebrated figure in Australia, where he has a 950-mile highway named after him. The holiday apartment occupies the upper two floors of a three-storey B-listed building. The rooms have been decorated in keeping with the style of the building, retaining period features, such as the window shutters.

The apartment is owned by Fife Historic Buildings Trust, a local Building Preservation Trust. It is a company limited by guarantee and has charitable status. It was formed in 1997 primarily for the purpose of saving and restoring historic buildings in Fife which are at risk. We are very proud of our beautiful historic building and would love to welcome you here.

We have three holiday apartments: Kinghorn Town Hall, John McDouall Stuart View - Dysart and Cupar Burgh Chambers.

Why they chose this property

The apartment is nice and peaceful, and Dysart is a lovely place to visit if you just want to relax or if you want to use it as a base whilst you visit various places throughout Scotland.

At Fife Historic Buildings Trust, our focus is restoring historic buildings and giving them a new purpose. When we first restored John McDouall Stuart View, it was originally a John McDouall Stuart Museum ran by Fife Council. The museum was unfortunatley not busy enough to remain open so FHBT took control of the property and converted it into an apartment.

What makes this property unique

The beautiful sea views across the Firth and Forth, really make this apartment shine. By staying in this property you will be contribute to the restoration of this and other historic properties throughout Fife.
