Easter 2024
Fantastic stay over Easter. Great location for travelling both south to Edinburgh, north to Perth/Dundee and east to St Andrews. House was ideal for family of 4, quiet location, great parking and local walks along beach.

Excellent house and village, inadequate information
This cottage is beautiful and a great value in a quiet village. Consider bringing all comestibles needed for your stay, especially if you come in on the bus — no eggs or butter (or Prosecco) were waiting as indicated in the listing. Some instructions for non-locals are badly needed: Strive not to be scalded in the confusing shower, and you’ll need to turn on the power to the stove in order to cook. The location can’t be beat, and the place is charming. We just needed accurate expectations and some guest information.

Beautiful Wemyss
This cottage is set on a hillside adjoining several cottages. The views from the back overlooking the bay are spectacular. The only negative is that the village has no restaurants or pubs. You will have to drive to neighboring villages to buy food or to eat in a restaurant or pub. The beds need to be mentioned as they were very comfortable. The cottage was clean, but did not provide garbage bags, batteries for the controller, nor detergent for clothes washing. Also, there is no dryer.

Terrific small row house, well equipped. Terrace faces the water w view of 16th C tollhouse tower. Lisa was very responsive. Provided a raft of books, pamphlets on local history, architecture. West Wemyss is well located for exploring the East Neuk Villages.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Rattray

Host profile image
David and Lisa originally from Fife and Cumbria worked for many years in London’s musical higher education. Having enjoyed various stays in Fife they were delighted in 2009 to acquire the Wemyss cottage finding it the perfect bolt-hole, travelling there with their two children whenever possible, the serene setting providing the perfect antidote to city life, no matter the season. Having discovering a real affection for the area they recently relocated to a leafy part of nearby Kirckcaldy. It was decided to retain the cottage for visiting acquaintances and to share through Owners Direct.
