The room was fantastic. Very comfortable beds, shower whenever needed, tried haggis and black pudding, very nice. The hosts were very friendly, informative and very helpful. Clean towels and warm rooms. The doors were noisy. I know I left really early like 3am, I hope didn't wake anyone up. I would definitely consider staying again.

Had a great stay at Clarke Cottage guest house. My double room was cosy whilst still having plenty of room & had all the amenities for a 2 night stay. Suzanne does a very tasty breakfast & catered for my gluten free requirements which was great. I would recommend a stay here, the location is great & it’s super quiet.

Excellent B&B - comfortable rooms with fridge, good shower and plenty of tea and coffee & bics. in rooms. Hosts very helpful and friendly and a very nice generous cooked breakfast or continental if you prefer. Plenty of free parking and very easy to get to.. a little bit out of central Dunfermline but taxis are easy to get so overall pretty much perfect !

Clarke Cottage Guest House is a very pleasant place run by very pleasant people and I can only hope that there are availabilities when I need to stay as it's the best place I've stayed at in Dunfermline yet. Very close to the station, excellent value for money and well looked after.
