  • "Thank you for the welcome pack, much appreciated!"

    The property was a little tricky to heat - it would be helpful to have a timer for the heating for example for the mornings when I didn't wish to use the wood burning stove. A couple of items would be helpful for food prep - mixing bowl and colander. The onstreet parking was definitely not 'easy' to find, suggest that it isn't described that way. The parking was very busy and I often had to park at a distance. I didn't mind a walk to the property but other guests may find it an issue. I could clearly hear other people talking in neighbouring properties from the lounge. It was lovely property and I enjoyed my stay there.

  • "The Wee Hideaway is a comfortable, clean and charming apartment."

    Our only concern was the parking. It was not easy to park at any time ; the owner stated parking was easy on street which it definitely was not.

    Hi , thanks for your booking and review. Apologies for the inconvenience you had with the parking, it usually is fine, but with on street parking there’s an element of chance. We would love to offer a parking space with the Wee Hideaway but there are just none available to rent or buy unfortunately. We hope it won’t deter you from coming back in the future, thank you.

  • "It always helps to have access to the owner if, like us, you find modern technology a frustration - every heating system and every tv system in the world appears to be designed to be incomprehensible - and it helps further if the owner has a soft Scottish accent and a patient tone."

    He and Gail seem to have thought of everything except the quality of the chips from the Chinese Takeaway - awful. Lovely spot, access to all kinds of other lovely spots. Great for a short break.

    Hi Peter, thank you for your well thought out review and kind words, it was lovely to have you here. As for the chips,….I couldn’t possibly comment! Property Owner

    The Wee Hideaway was clean, comfortable, warm and with very pleasant decor. Although it is on the main road we weren’t troubled by traffic or other noise. We brought two dogs and appreciated the park and walk along the estuary being within easy reach. We got a very pleasant taster of Fife. Thank you.

  • "This is a little gem in a very quiet village."

    The property has a brilliant shower, fully equipped kitchen and a cosy, comfy lounge. Our only gripes were the bed was very small and the lack of parking as we had to park in a dedicated car park about 400yards away up a bank. Communication is excellent and the property is situated with good surrounding walks. However the lack of gastro-pubs in Newburgh and the nearby areas is terrible. You must travel at least 10 miles to find a decent eating pub. We can highly recommend the Bear Tavern on the high street for drinks and good banter with the locals, but apart from that Newburgh does not offer much.

    Hi David, thanks for your detailed review, agreed what we need in the area is someone to develop the nearby pubs, that suffered so hard after government lockdowns. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at the property…very relaxing 2 night stay."

    The owners have used the space really well. The log fire was lovely, snacks left for us were a nice touch too. It would have been 5 stars, and we would have returned again if it wasn’t for the bed…anyone 6ft tall like myself or over will struggle to fit into it. The frame at the end of the bed meant that my feet were smacked against it, and it was difficult to get to sleep due to that. So I ended up not sleeping well for 2 nights..but apart from the bed, everything else was great!

    Hi David, sorry to hear about your sleeping issues, as you will know we can’t fit a bigger bed into the room unfortunately! Lovely to say it would have been a 5 star review though, take care. Dave Property Owner

About the location

NEWBURGH, FIFE

St. Andrews 20.1 miles; Cupar 10.5 miles

The royal burgh and parish of Fife is an agricultural community positioned alongside the salmon fishing waters of the River Tay, overlooking the marshy Mugdrum Island. To the east lies the ancient Lindores Abbey, a historical and overgrown ruin left to be uncovered. There are plenty of attractions nearby such as, the Lindores Abbey Distillery for whisky lovers, the National Trust's Balmerino Abbey with its atmospheric 13th-century ruins and the Backhouse Rossie Estate, an RHS Partner Garden with rare plants, woodland walking and children's trails. The Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve at Morton Lochs offers something for everyone, an ever changing landscape with seals hauling themselves out of the water, hungry birds looking for food and a rich variety of nature's wonders. Though the village of Newburgh may be small, there are many treasures drawing in visitors; the remains of Macduff's Cross are a historical landmark to discover, Newburgh Sailing Club and Laing Museum featuring antiquarian artefacts of Newburgh's Alexander Laing. This delightful location is one for adventurous visitors seeking a rejuvenating break to the Fife countryside.
