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.

This was a last minute booking and I wish I’d arranged to stay longer. It was so comfortable and I was well looked after. Extra touches like quality towels, home made preserves and shortbread. I don’t think it will be long till I return. The walks on the beach and the wonderful shower in my room were brilliant. Thank you so much!

Lovely wee place

Warm and friendly hostess Julie is definitely in the right business. The guest house was immaculate and her cooked breakfast was immensely tasty and hearty. The room was cosy and quiet. Short walk to the shops and eateries in Leven. Recommended.
