We had a wonderful week at Thistle cottage. We received a very warm and friendly welcome to this lovely cottage. The view from the living room is fantastic - I would never tire of it! The house is very well kitted out, beautifully decorated and very spacious. There is lots to do close by - we climbed Largo Law, walked along the coast and went cycling round the East Neuk. We took full advantage of the hot-tub, which is amazing! We were very impressed with its size and the CD player with the speakers in the hot tub! We very much hope to go back again and would have no hesitation in highly recommending it. |
