About this property

Durham - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Homelands is a charitable trust which provides accessible luxury self catering accommodation in 9 purpose built lodges (Massney, Cardy, Keil, Drummochy, Selkirk, Largo, Lundin, Durham and Emsdorf). The lodges are situated in the picturesque village of Lundin Links overlooking Lundin Links Golf course with open views to Edinburgh over the Firth of Forth.

Lundin Links sits just 12 miles from St Andrews, the home of golf, and a short distance from the East Neuk's rugged coastline and its character filled fishing villages such as Crail, Anstruther, and Pitenweem. Lower Largo and Lundin Links themselves are famed for their links to the original Robinson Crusoe (Alexander Selkirk) whose birthplace in Lower Largo is a short distance from the Lodge. The village features a bar, restaurant, sports club (including tennis courts) and a small parade of shops including pharmacy, butchers, bakers, post office, and general store all within a short distance of the lodges.

The region is famed for its outdoor sports/activities, water sports, history and fresh produce / sea food; served in many of the local restaurants which range from Michelin Starred to world famous and favoured by Royals fish and chips in Anstruther.

Further afield we are an hour from Edinburgh (Scotland's Capital City) and Dundee which houses the Discovery museum and V&A Dundee, Scotland’s first design museum

The lodges have been specifically designed with accessibility in mind and a wealth of features have been incorporated into the designs to ensure they are as accessible as possible, including specialist support equipment/ facilities such as ceiling tracking hoists, a full spacious wetroom, profiling beds, airflow mattress, Clos-o-Mat toilet (depending upon lodge) and riser/recliner chair. We can also provide a range of specialist equipment free of charge on request such as mobile hoists, various shower chairs, a shower trolley, and equipment for people who have a hearing loss. These specialist items must be booked in advance and are allocated on a first come first served basis. For more information about what we provide please get in touch, our helpful staff will happily discuss your requirements.

Excellent stay in Durham Lodge.

We enjoyed a few days in Durham Lodge which is a wonderful house with everything that we needed and much more. We live locally and we were having work done in our house. Durham is very well designed and equipped and the grounds are beautiful and peaceful. We had some visitors while we were there and they were all very impressed by our accommodation.

Sun and sand in the beautiful Fife east coast.

We were lucky (as we have been each time we have visited Homelands) to enjoy beautiful Spring sunshine this time. As always, the immaculate and beautifully equipped lodges cater for all the needs of both the disabled and full bodied members of the party. The coastal towns in the East Neuk are just short drive away and if you're in the mood for something more urban St Andrews has everything you could ask for. A particular favourite of ours was a trip to St Monans where their famous windmill was reached by a short and reasonably accessible path at the water's edge. The Giddy Gannet there is a terrific reasonably priced and accessible cafe which serves the best cheese scone our resident 'sconnoisseur' has ever eaten.

Excellent stay at Homelands

We stayed in Durham which is a 3 bed lodge in November. The disable facilities were excellent. We’ve never been able to find an accessible holiday property that provides as much equipment and also being a luxury accommodation. The beautiful beach is within easy walking distance, which was brilliant for us to take our dog every morning for his walk. Lots of places to visit nearby, including St Andrews which was beautiful and had a lovely beach too. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

A good time was had by all.

This was our third pre-Christmas visit to Homelands as a family with a wheelchair user. Once again, the weather was (relatively) kind to us and we enjoyed a lovely break exploring the delights of the East Neuk of Fife. The lodges are ideally equipped for both able bodied and disabled visitors and the Christmas tree is a welcome touch. We hope to visit again in the Spring and will definitely return in December 2026. Thanks to all involved in Homelands.

Carers residential

Lovely place to stay in a great location with fully accessible accommodation. Very helpful and friendly staff from booking to leaving. Ample parking for the group and access for wheelchair users. Also very good for the elderly and neurodivergent groups and individuals - providing much needed quiet as well as open areas. We would recommend Homelands highly and would like to return.

Costs

I booked through disabled holidays and their booking fee turned out to be very expensive. I would not use them again but book direct which I believe is a reasonable value for money

Comfortable Short Break!

Homelands in Lundin Links, Fife, is a great location for a short break away from home. Durham is a 3 bedroom house with all the accessible facilities provided to make an easy ‘home from home’. The house is bright and airy with plenty of space for a wheelchair and no hazards for a walking frame. The site is quiet and peaceful with lovely views from all the windows. Lundin Links has a very good row of shops an easy distance from the site and plenty of open spaces nearby. There is an excellent restaurant, Crusoe, a short walk down to Lower Largo where they will accommodate wheelchairs and dietary needs..

Thee perfect place to stay

Homelands have thought of everything. The cottages are totally adapted with everything you could possibly need making your stay for everyone a real feeling of home from home. Lovely spacious rooms, very comfortable living area and bedrooms with adjustable seating and beds which makes all the difference when on holiday. The grounds are super clean with lovely gardens and outlook from every cottage. The area is simply fabulous with lots of lovey coastal villages and towns from Leven up to St Andrews. Lower Largo and the beach a stroll away is fabulous. We will definitely book again.

My husband is completely wheelchair dependent. We absolutely loved it. Clean and tidy, washing machine and tumble dryer absolute god send. Everything my husband uses and needs at home in the way of equipment was there. The beds are amazingly comfy. My husband said his air mattress was amazing. Absolutely amazing.

A wonderful vacation, even with a powerchair in our party

If you, like we do, have people with limited mobility because of a disability in your family and you have, like we have, year after year problems finding a decent place to spend your holidays, then we have some good news. In August 2025, we have spent our yearly family holidays with our sons with such a disability in the Durham lodge of the Homelands resort in Fife, Scotland. The lodge had all the space you need if you have a person with a powerchair in your party, as well as ceiling hoist in the bedroom and the bathroom. The lodge was well equipped and clean. The domain is situated in a beautiful environment, close to the water, with plenty of locations to visit and enjoy, while the lodge itself is also a good fit for some relaxing days ‘at home’. Spending our vacation at the Durham lodge of Homelands has raised our bar with regards to expectations for our future holidays.

An early Christmas treat

Homelands is a truly wonderful facility for holidays where a member of the group has a disability. This was our second pre-Christmas visit. We have a wheelchair user in the family and her every need was catered for in the spacious and well equipped lodge. Lundin Links is very well situated on the Fife coast south of St Andrews and within easy reach of the lovely seaside villages of the East Neuk. We were very lucky with the weather and greatly enjoyed our early Christmas visit with family and friends. Thank you!

Best holiday rental ever

Best adapted place we've ever stayed in after25 years with wheelchair! A few suggestions: Lighting at kitchen sink is poor need under cupboard lights. A TV upstairs would be nice. TV in downstairs bedroom cupboard odd but presumably for the bedridden? A to do before leaving list would be helpful, we were hunting back thru folders! And still missed the windows.

Another excellent holiday

Another brilliant, 3rd visit, 7 day holiday , in this excellent accomodation for 3 generations of our family. Lovely, warm, and clean as usual. Highly recommend Rockies at Anstruther golf club and Shoregate in Crail for fantastic meals. Wheelchair accessible. We will be back again in near future. Thanks to all your staff especially the volunteer garderers.

Fabulous accommodation

We stayed 3 nights in the Durham accommodation and ordered the stand aid and shower recliner which were both there when we arrived. The property is of a very high standard with lots of adaptations to take the stress out of trips away with a relative using an electric wheelchair. The information and checks provided by the admin team prior to arrival was very reassuring and the information on line and in the accommodation was brilliant. Plenty to do in the area and lots of accessible information available too. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful lodge and perfect for our needs

Durham lodge was perfect for our needs, with a huge open plan living area (even larger than we had expected from the photos). Everything was brand new, including very comfortable beds and a large downstairs wetroom. The whole family loved the reclining arm chair too! The village of Lundin Links was quiet and we found the little local shop to be useful. We managed to do day trips to Edinburgh, and also visited St Andrews and other places along the coast. It was a really lovely holiday and we hope to return.
