Daughter’s Scottish Reception
What an AMAZING property! We had such a good time and the accommodations were perfect for friends and family! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and the kitchen is FABULOUS! Thank you for a stress free trip to Scotland to celebrate our daughter’s elopement. The location was within a mile of Cupar and 15 minutes to St. Andrews. The hot tub and pool table were added bonuses! Thank you for EVERYTHING!

Perfect Christmas Holiday
We loved our stay for the Christmas holiday. The house was very clean, warm and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked for all of the meals we prepared. We enjoyed the large dining table for our meals and also family game nights. The living room was very comfortable and spacious. The wood stove was nice to have with plenty of firewood provided. We all enjoyed playing pool in the game room. The beds were very comfortable and hard to get out of in the mornings because we slept so well! The bathrooms were all great with very good water pressure. We were so happy when we walked in and saw the beautiful Christmas tree! It was the perfect touch for the holiday. We can’t wait to return again on our next visit! Thank you for providing a wonderful home for our family to celebrate Christmas!

Perfect place for golfers
We were four guys on a golf trip looking for a house with four comfortable bedrooms and close to St. Andrews and the coast. Dougal’s place was perfect. Spacious, clean, accessible. It’s a 3 minute drive to the town of Cupar, where there are grocery stores and everything you need. The most important factor for me in rentals is bed quality: these beds are very comfortable. They feel like quality hotel mattresses with some softness on top, but firmer and supportive. Five stars on the beds. Dougal’s team was very accommodating throughout the trip. We read in a previous review that the dryer wasn’t working; Dougal had it fixed in time for our visit. There’s a large kitchen and grill to cook, which was great. The dishwasher and appliances work really well. My only very small complaint is that there wasn’t a ton of kitchen tools. The basics are there: silverware, mugs, plates, bowls, knives etc. but no serving or mixing bowls, and only small glasses. But we like to cook and serve, so having a lot of kitchen tools is a plus. But that won’t change my review. This is 5-star rental in the countryside. If you’re golfing with a foursome or a family travelling in the area, book here if you can.

Pleasant and relaxing
What a beautiful property. Well equipped and nothing was too much bother for Sue and Douglas. Clean, comfortable beds. Plenty of everything needed for 5 people. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Balass Lodge and would recommend staying here. Handy for St. Andrews, Cupar and the east coast of Fife.
