Alan and Lucy are wonderful hosts. We were given great advice on touring and navigating our way around the area. Very clean and modern accommodation. We would definitely recommend!
The stay was excellent from beginning to end!Communication was perfect, very detailed instructions and information about the check in and house details The space was big and airy, the view was to die for, everything was spotless, and extras like milk, tea, coffee pods, TV games, projector, automated windows and blinds and much more, made it a wonderful stay!We were a party of 3 adults and one child, there was more than enough room to accommodate all of us.Thank you so much for this amazing value stay!
Wonderful place, beautiful location and great hosts!
This place was a beautiful home away from home for the 3 nights we stayed there! Alan was there to meet us and help us with our luggage and show us around the property. It is a beautiful place and a great location to easily catch a bus to Edinburgh or drive to any other sights. We could have stayed longer and enjoyed every minute!
Our stay and host were wonderful. Wee Glasshouse was full furnished, exceptionally clean and had all the features of home. We would not consider staying anywhere else while in Edinburgh!
What a memorable stay in this beautifully located apartment.The views over the Firth of Forth are spectacular and the Fife coastal path is just outside the door - again with beautiful views of the area.We stayed for a week and our host Alan was so thoughtful and kind. He has thought of everything to make a stay at the Wee Glasshouse memorable.The location is ideal for exploring the Fife coast and is also very convenient for travelling to Edinburgh and the airport. We will certainly be back - thank you Alan for providing us with the perfect accommodation for our nostalgic tour around Fife.

The room is equipped with technology. The host is very friendly.
Had a nice, relaxing couple of nights at the wee glass house. It was lovely, very modern, well equipped, spotless, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Lovely view too. Perfect for some quiet time. Also handy if visiting Edinburgh and surrounding areas. Our hosts made us very welcome too. Would love to visit again.
We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The view is spectacular! The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood with a lovely walking path along the water. Alan was so friendly, helpful, gives great suggestions, and gave us all the information we needed for getting into Edinburgh and was quickly responsive when we needed help figuring out the buses. We highly recommend The Wee Glass House! Thank you Alan!
A fab spot which has all you need for a weekend (or longer) getaway. Alan is a great host. We were in the city for the half marathon and Alan answered lots of questions we had about getting to the city for the event etc. Should we find ourselves in Edinburgh in the future, we'll be checking for availability at the Wee Glass House!
Well equipped, technology input like I've never seen before - very cool! Check in was great and personal, told us best transport links and local walks. Very clean and very clear check out process. Great views, great place!
The Wee Glasshouse is absolutely fantastic!
Clean, cosy, comfortable, with all mod cons including smart controlled Velux windows, TV, and lighting.
The view from the main windows is breathtaking!
Alan and his family (owners) are very friendly and welcoming, in addition to being on hand for any enquiries etc.
I can’t recommend this venue enough!
Grear location for short term stay on the Fife Coastal Path
Great location if you have a car to get around or just plan on hiking the FCP. Public transportation spotty. Studio beautiful and peaceful but sometimes the smart house technology does not work which can be annoying but owner very helpful in troubleshooting any issues.
We can’t say enough about our stay at The Wee Glass House. The accommodations were perfect! Clean and comfortable. The view was incredible!!!!! The owner, Alan, felt like a fourth son to me. He was so helpful! He explained all the technology in the apartment, helped us with our bags, recommended transportation and restaurants, etc. His daughter even picked us up after our long journey.

Where to begin?! We loved our stay in the Wee Glass House. Our host was amazing and so friendly. It was probably the cleanest and most well kept place we have ever stayed. The kitchen is fully furnished and our host even had a few goodies there for us already! The view is absolutely gorgeous and there is a river walk right across the street. If you’re interested in taking a bus to Edinburgh or surrounding areas, the bus stop is very close to the house. We walked there in just a couple minutes. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back some day. I can’t recommend this property enough!
My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks on our honeymoon and honestly I cannot say enough good things about Alan and the Wee Glasshouse!! The house was carefully designed-unique-clean-and super comfortable. The view was spectacular-as well as the coastal path that is right across from it where you can take a nice, long walk among the wildflowers and next to the ocean. :) Alan is a SUPERhost for good reason. So kind and willing to help at anytime. We're mates now! I can't wait to stay again :)
Alan is a superb host that anticipates every possible need for travelers. The Wee Glass House is a Smart House! So many cool gadgets which Alan fully explained on arrival. This stay was more than just a typical VRBO stay, the host was so helpful in every imagist way by sending us links to the bus schedules, suggestions on travel routes and history lessons on the bridges in the area. A most excellent experience that we’d definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a gorgeous view, friendly/knowledgeable host and off the beaten path yet close to the bus line.
The Wee Glass House is just across the firth from Edinburgh. The view of the firth, the bridges, and the city are amazing! The house looks exactly as it's presented in the images on VRBO. It was easy to access, very convenient for either driving anywhere (we went to the highlands and as far as Glen Coe one day) or taking the bus or train into the cities. Very short walk to the bus, very short drive to the train station.
Alan was helpful & responsive. Great host. The bed was comfortable, the home was immaculately well kept. Just can't say enough about this place other than to say I wish I lived there.

Highly recommend!!!
This studio apartment is in a prime location with a tremendous view of The Forth Bridge, an engineering wonder of the world. With the Fife Coastal path directly across the road, the local train station within a 20 mins walk and the motorway a 15 mins drive it is a prime location. There are also plenty of shops, supermarkets and restaurants close by.
The apartment is immaculate and very well maintained. It has everything you need, making it a home from home. The hosts are very friendly and always on hand to help. We stayed here for three weeks on our visit to Scotland from Australia. It will be our first choice of places to stay the next time we visit.
A little gem of a place overlooking the Firth of Forth and the three Edinburgh bridges including the iconic Forth Rail Bridge.The accommodation is spectacular and short of nothing, you don't need to pull on the Velux blinds or keep opening and shutting them because like the lights, it's all voice activated courtesy of Mr Google!The location is fabulous and very easy to get into Edinburgh or explore other parts of Scotland by car. The train station in Dalgety Bay takes right into the heart of Edinburgh and is about 15-20 min walk up the road. Alan is an absolute star! He could not do enough for us. such a lovely guy.Take my advice as stay here you won't regret it!
