Bargain Digs with A Host who cares

No frills accommodation but perfectly equipped for a short stay. Room share a bathroom on a 1:3 ratio approximately and this wasnt an issue for my stay. Host is lovely and very attentitive. These rooms suitable contractors or anyone looking for a solid base to visit the nearby area. Walking distance to local shop, pub and a few chinese takeaways. Area is quiet, bar the seagulls, but for me the rooms are perfect. Clean, tidy and everything you would need. Multiple improvements still ongoing in the venue, but these are all behind the scene and do not affect your stay. Nice large shared kitchen area to cook and eat your own meals.

The pictures were misleading. Learned after the fact the location was an unsafe/questionable area.

Host is lovey. This is an old pub that’s being converted into various rooms on the top 2 floors. Bathrooms are not on-suite however their are adequate facilities to be shared amongst the rooms so this wasn’t an issue for me. Value for money is second to none. The rooms are clean, tidy and spacious enough for 1-2 travellers. Downstairs their is a kitchen and eating area (multiple booths) so you can prepare and cook your own food. Not much to do in the area, with a pub nearby and some local convenience shops and takeaways around 5 minutes drive away. Perfect stop for any contractors working in the area, or anyone looking for a base whilst doing local walks and hiking. For what you pay per night it’s a bargain and the host is really trying to get things ready for the future when this will no doubt be a mainstay for visitors looking for affordable accommodation in the Leven area.

Great stay. Room was spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. Though the bathrooms were shared, there were plenty and they were immaculately cleaned. I had a fantastic walk at a nearby scenic beach only two minutes away. I even saw some seals. There is a handy convenience store around the corner and a baker with some prepared foods. There is a bus at the end of the road that took me to the Leven bus/railway station and also to the swimming pool. The staff was great getting me oriented to the neighborhood. I am grateful for the good stay.
