We needed a wheelchair accessible cottage which also allowed a dog! This cottage is superb. Well equipped in the kitchen and throughout. Washer, dryer, 2 fridges. Loads of games and books...although the pool table had an added degree of difficulty with a bend in the middle 😆. Everything was lovely and clean. There was plenty of space for our daughter's wheelchair and access was great, there was a great deck with fabulous views and gorgeous sunsets.The cottage location was pretty good for all attractions in Fife and relatively straightforward for Edinburgh and Stirling.

We stayed here in February as it was our son’s wedding at The Den. The location was ideal for the wedding venue and we were able to book taxis easily to get us there and back. Maggie ,the host, was lovely and really helpful. She made us feel at home. There were beautiful flowers and a homemade cake on arrival, as well as a welcome pack of essentials.Bramble Brae was ideal for us as we were 4 generations together. The bungalow is spacious, well furnished and well equipped. The number of bathrooms is a big plus. The garden area is excellent and safe for children. The whole place is spotlessly clean and if in the area we would definitely stay here again.

This is a very nice place with 4 bedrooms, 6 beds and 4 bathrooms. The location is pretty good, but you do need to do a bit of driving to get to Edinburgh and Glasgow. The house is well stocked with everything you need.The nearby town of Culross is beautiful and historic.

We had a fabulous time. We stayed twelve days this place has everything you need and the owner was very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Thanks Maggie for also letting us see round the farm the kids loved it. We also renewed our vows at the accommodation.

I have stayed here in June 2012 & April 2014, Bramblebrae is the perfect place to stay especially due to the huge open plan living area with lots of glass to view the surrounding countryside and patio doors that lead into the garden which contains a swing and slide for the kids. The woodburning stove is great for keeping cosy on chilly nights. Maggie & Sandy are so willing to help and also are very welcoming and we have visited the farm many times where the kids have learnt about the farm and seen the milking. We will definitely return in the future.
