  • "Absolutely loved staying here."

    One of the best cottages for sure that we have ever stayed in. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable and it was a pleasure to meet one of the owners, Rosalind. She made us feel very welcome. Such a nice lady who obviously takes pride in owning and maintaining Katmoget cottage along with her husband Brian. Many thanks to them both.

  • "Katmoget is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage."

    The owners, Rosalind & Brian, are friendly and helpful and available. Unlike some owners. The supply of eggs, jam, milk and coffee on arrival is a lovely touch. Hopefully, we will return.

  • "Katmoget Cottage is very comfortable, clean, well equipped and in a quiet location."

    Rosalind and Brian, the owners, who live next door, are friendly and helpful with local knowledge. The cottage's location makes it an ideal base for exploring various parts of Fife, including St Andrews and historic fishing villages, and further afield to Dundee, Angus and Perth. Cupar, the former county town of Fife, is less than 10 minutes drive away and handy for shops and a railway station for car-free travel to Dundee and Edinburgh, etc. Dorothy & Graham B

  • "The cottage was in a very peaceful location with a nice outside garden to sit in."

    The cottage was also clean, warm and comfortable and an idea base for exploring the surrounding areas. The WiFi was good as we could stream tv programs etc. We particularly liked the little touches like the welcome eggs, milk, homemade jam and tassimo coffee pods to try with coffee machine.

  • "We had a very peaceful but active holiday in this centrally based cottage."

    Visited Hill of Tarvit Mansion; St Monan’s along to Crail with fish and chips in Anstruther; train trip from Cupar to Dundee to visit V&A (excellent free photography exhibition) and the McManus Museum; Falkland Palace; Wemyss Pottery in nearby Ceres (leaving with 2 smiling Rose Cabbage cats and a mouse!); walked up the steep but satisfying Hill of Tarvit on our last day and were rewarded with panoramic views of the coast and surrounding countryside; had an Indian takeaway from Saffron on Bonnygate Cupar (we phoned then picked it up) - very tasty and we’d recommend it. Rosalind welcomed us on arrival and had provided a DVD player at our request along with providing a cafetiere so we could use our filter coffee - she went beyond her role and was so friendly and accommodating and obviously wishing us to have a trouble free holiday - her eggs (from her hens) and jam were delicious. We will recommend the cottage to our friends as an excellent base to visit many areas of Fife easily.

  • "Rosalind and Brian were absolutely perfect hosts along with the one and only Bob the dog ."

    The welcome pack of coffee ,milk, home made jam , eggs from their own hens etc was most welcome . Thank you hens for laying them . The cottage is a perfect gem . If you like a rural location this is utterly the right place for you to stay . Walks around the cottage area are stunning . Take walking shoes / boots .The views are utterly incredible . Wildlife in abundance to be seen ( or heard re the Owls in our case !) The Katmoget sheep are entertaining to watch . The enclosed private garden is wonderful. We were very lucky with the weather during our stay. Lovely to be able to dry the washing outside on the line . It’s only a short drive down the road to Cupar to all the shops ,restaurants etc. Fisher and Donald’s fudge doughnuts or coffee tower are a must every time we visit the area and discovered there is a shop in Cupar . The Greenhouse Bar and Grill’s Sunday lunch is highly recommended- phone and book and reserve your roast though . The information re places to visit in the area , recommendations for other places to eat is all in the cottage . It’s easy to travel and explore the coast . We will most certainly be returning at the earliest opportunity.

    Brian and Roselind are very approachable and helped us settle on our arrival she showed us around and there were fresh eggs, jam and milk provided. We were informed of the local area and suggested interesting places to visit. The cottage was clean and very comfortable and had everything we needed. It had a lovely private garden and behind the cottage was a medieval tower which added to the historical interest of the area. We will most definitely be visiting again. Val and Stephen. Burnley

    Approx 300 yards up an old coaching road, but no problem with access and parking right outside. Very peaceful. Ideally situated for visits to National Trust sites, beaches and fishing villages - all within a short drive. Rosalind and Brian were very welcoming and live next door should there be a neede to contact them. Local supermarkets 10 mnutes away by car in Cupar if you need to shop.

    The cottage is spotlessly clean, well decorated, warm and comfortably furnished. There is a fully equipped kitchen which includes everything from a coffee maker to a washing machine. This is an excellent base from which to explore the local area although the cottage is so nice you might just want to stay in and relax!
