A lovely place for our group

We are a group of friends and relatives visiting Scotland, and we all loved the property. We wanted a place near Edinburgh but not in the city, and this was perfect. The train station was a few minutes away and parking was easy. We found a great little pub nearby for dinner. The house was clean and comfortable, well stocked for all our needs.

Fabulous property in a lovely location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cala Cottage. It was warm and welcoming and still decorated for Christmas for our New Year stay. The cottages is really well decorated and we had all of the facilities we could need. Limekilns is a lovely wee village and the views from the cottage and the coast were beautiful. The Ship Inn was great for food and we could also take our dogs in there. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

Homely Place

Rented this house with my family and friends over half term. Very clean, good quality furniture and fixtures, bedsheets and towels. They provided almost anything you need from soap, cream, even detergent, cleaning spray to keep place clean which I think is important esp nowadays. Also very generous with a welcome breakfast treat !

Fabulous 60th Birthday Celebration!

We loved the cottage by the sea. We took full advantage of everything the town had to offer from beautiful walks, to ocean swims, to restaurants. Enjoyed visiting nearby towns of Dunfermline & Colross (15 mins). Edinburgh was excellent but we were really happy with our decision to stay in this lovely home in the suburbs. Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay. John and Toni were great!

Quaint and Lovely

Beautiful property with all we needed for a lovely and quiet vacation - not too far from Edinburgh and not too close either. Neighborhood was exactly what we were looking for...classic Scottish life. Little restaurants and walking trails nearby. House was perfect for 4 and would have been comfortable up to 8. Only 1 hair dryer in the house - I would recommend one for each floor.

Great Home and Great Manager

We enjoyed our stay at this property. At one point we had a 1 and 5 year old with us. I requested a cot for the infant and not only was it provided, but also a high chair and even a set of dishes for the wee one. The fact that it had a washer and tumble dryer was a plus as it meant we could pack lighter. The Welcome basket was lovely as well.

Delightful

Beautiful well equipped home in a charming small town. Just what we were looking for, a slower pace yet only thirty minutes from Edinburgh. Two delicious meals at The Bruce Arms restaurant. Tracy made sure we were able to have Sticky Toffee Pudding on our last night, as none of us had ever had it. One small issue that was immediately addressed by Toni, the property manager. We would highly recommend this property!

beautiful Limekilns home

We couldn't have been more happy with this holiday home! Plenty of space, beautiful view, clean, really comfy beds, and in a peaceful location. It worked perfectly for us as we have family just down the road. :) A few play parks near by that the kids could walk to. Beautiful views of the forth and gorgeous sunsets! Limekilns is a good base for so many nearby attractions. House was really great.. we had 4 kids and 4 adults and there was plenty of space. Small backyard a bonus. The weather was incredible so we actually enjoyed the outdoor space! would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful quaint area

This home is beautiful. Had a little trouble finding it initially. GPS has you turn on Sandilands Had to look for the correct house. Number wasn’t obvious. Fairly well appointed. Dryer is in the garage but no mention in house book of that. Nice garden and not far from train station. Short walk to a great pub Bruce Arms. Very pretty.

Cala Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Cala cottage very much. The location was perfect for our stay as we did many day trips from Limekilns. The house was lovely and clean. Though it would have been nice to have a complete outdoor furniture set as there were six of us and only 3 chairs. We also realized we had to purchase salt and pepper and coffee. It would have been a nice touch if there was a small supply of this to get us started. No dish soap as well. Overall though a very nice place. We loved the village and the pubs that we could walk to for a few meals.

Lovely stay in Limekilns

We stayed here while at Knockhill, racing for the weekend. The property was beautifully clean. We ate at The Ship Inn & The Bruce Arms, both were good and within easy walking distance. Takeaways were close by in Dunfermline. Would definitely recommend.

Great Stay!

The house is as described, well appointed, very clean and in a perfect location for our trips out and about central Scotland. We had 5 adults and one child staying in the home which accommodated us well. The town of Limekilns is so picteresque, and we enjoyed walking around the area as well as visiting local eating establishments. The welcome array of food and drink was very much appreciated! The only think missing in the kitchen was potholders. Everything was wonderful. Thank you!
