December stay
The apartment was freezing cold when we arrived. There was moldy tea left in the tee pot and the cleaner had obviously been smoking in the apartment before we arrived with a lingering smell and two discarded cigarette butts left in the kitchen ashtray. There was a toilet seat that was non functional and the toilets were continuously backing up. Other than that the location is ideal and on the doorstep of the park.

Awesome weekend break
The accommodation was fantastic and we were made to feel at home by the owner, who explained all that we needed to know and provided us with tea, coffee and milk, not forgetting the biscuits of course. We will certainly be coming back here in the future

Lovely house in an ideal setting.
Southerton House is a lovely old home set right into Beveridge Park, a wonderful greenspace with a lake, lovely walks, playground and adult exercise area.
The Apartment is large with a living room of large and elegant proportions and the accommodation has its own delightful garden. It was very comfortable and very much a home from home and exceeded our expectations. There was everything we needed for a comfortable and convenient stay. John, our host was very kind and helpful and entertaining! The location was very convenient for exploring Fife and further afield both by car and public transport.
We also felt that it was very good value.

It's in a great spot to give you easy access to Fife, Stirling and Edinburgh via car or public transport with everything you need nearby.
John the owner was so lovely, welcoming and a real highlight of the trip.
Definitely hope to stay there again and will be recommending it to others coming to the area.
