The owners Julie and Richard are the most wonderful hosts! The room we had was so comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing and loved Julie’s homemade jams. We bought three to take home! Julie’s homemade shortbread was to die for! Also, both Julie and Richard went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and that our needs were met! We are only sad we couldn’t stay more than one night!

The freshly cooked breakfast was excellent with a good choice. Unfortunately our shower was difficult to operate as we couldn't get consistent flow or temperature. Our room was large with plenty of storage space and comfy beds.

Superb on all fronts - great value for money.

Superb property and host! Located just off the end of the high street and about 10 minute walk from train and bus stations. Met by host who was very friendly and welcoming. We were away too early to have the renowned cooked breakfast, but host agreed that it was no problem to have a very early “cold” breakfast of cereal, yoghurt, fruit, toast and coffee - lots of choice and plenty to set us up! Wonderful! Room was very clean, comfortable, well appointed and with plenty of storage space. Very comfy beds. Good TV. Great tea / coffee making facilities, including great home made biscuits. Superb, powerful, hot, easy to use shower with toiletries provided. This was a great experience at a great price for what was provided. Very good value! Will definitely stay again!

Perfect Guest House and Lovely Hosts

Lovely couple who can't do enough for their guests and clearly love having guests from all over the world stay at their guest house. This was my 1st time staying in a guest house, and i was pleasantly surprised. Lovely room, very welcoming on arrival and after we got chatting it genuinely felt like a home from home. Leven town centre has some shops/pubs etc, and this guest house is perfectly positioned with both off road and on road parking available. If you want the authentic guest house experience, with hosts that will cater for all your needs, look no further

Great place to stay

I loved the stay here. It was too short. The owners were very nice and made me feel extremely welcome. Its not far from Elie where they have the famous 'chain walk', or St. Andrews. Great breakfast as well.

A great place to relax and chill out

For me this was the most relaxing mini break I've had. Julie the owner/hostess is very friendly and chatty and nothing is too much trouble. Her rooms are spotless, bright and tastefully decorated. Depending on how your walking is, the beach is anything from 5-10 mins away, and what a beach it is. Julie's breakfast gives hotel chains a run for their money. Fully cooked and/or continental, you're spoilt for choice. I couldn't think of anything I needed in my room, everything was there, extra heater, tower fan, toiletries, well stocked tea/coffee tray including welcome tub of homemade shortbread. For me, I was in heaven, the added bonus of Julie's cats was a surprise and delight. Hygiene is observed, the cats are in a run outside whilst breakfast is on the go, but once that is over, they are happy to meet and greet guests. They were the highlight of my stay. I've already booked my next visit, where I'll pop on a local bus that goes to St Andrews, apparently only takes 30 mins. Dunclutha is perfect for a chilled out break and Julie always has time to chat no matter how busy she is.
