The house was perfect for our family gathering. It had everything we needed to cook family meals and a lovely big sitting room to watch TV and play games together. Nicely situated to do the coastal walks to Anstruther and St Monan. Also to visit St Andrews and the V&A museum in Dundee.

We had a wonderful time at Binny cottage - it’s a brilliant cottage in a brilliant location. Easily accommodates 8 and the kitchen/living spaces are big and welcoming.

Wonderful property. So lovely it was difficult to leave and explore the magnificent coastline and beautiful village. We got great September weather and Binny Cottage was the perfect place to base ourselves and explore such a picturesque part o& the world.

Lovely house in a lovely village

Idyllic is the word - Pittenweem is a lovely little fishing village and a great base for wider travel, and this house is just perfect - really well presented, large enough that you aren't all tripping over each other and very quiet. Sam is a terrific host too.

Beautiful stay

Beautiful property, comfortable beds, perfect location, beautiful garden. All perfect, no complaints (only thing to note and people could be made aware of is had children there once and when back door and front door open at same it’s a bit of a wind tunnel, need to prop front door open otherwise it slams and it’s heavy and child nearly got caught - just useful to be aware of it!) Thanks so much for a lovely holiday!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Hollie. You are most welcome and we are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday at Binny cottage. It's been a pleasure having you to stay! The back door in the kitchen is opposite the front door in the hallway. If the door between both rooms has not been closed, even a gentle breeze will cause one of the doors to close. Thank you for mentioning this and we will certainly include it in our information to future guests.

Amazing home, amazing location!

This property was perfect. Spacious for four of us, comfortable bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plenty of room for us to spread out, including the kitchen and living room. Convenient small grocery in walking distance (we did not have a car), and a bakery and some great restaurants. Several wonderful walks to nearby towns. Hosts were beery responsive to any questions we had. We would absolutely return again!
