    Clean modern apartment less than 10 mins in a taxi from Markinch train station. Owners were very helpful in answering my questions before and during my stay. Lovely cows and horses outside the front window too!

    The only thing I would change is the mattress on the bed! It was very firm! That is a personal preference thing, though!

    Everything we needed for our stay. Lovely clean accommodation. Lovely area and close to Markinch and Glenrothes for shops etc. Owners were lovely and welcoming and found that everyone in the surrounding area were helpful and pleasant. Had a great stay at Star Scape.

    A nice quiet break in a nice wee house.

    A minor addition in the bathroom was accepted as a good idea by Joan although it wasn’t something we didn’t like, just a suggestion for a wee improvement. We didn’t find any faults.

    It’s self catering. The location is very good on a working farm next to the farmer’s house. Although on a farm it’s very quiet, the only sounds are of the sheep, cattle, and the occasional tractor. The outlook is also good with views over to the Lomond Hills from inside the house or sitting outside in the sun. Wi-fi is good, multiple tv channels, and even a record player with a few albums to choose from.

    The bumpy road. When you've not long after a hip replacement it was a bit uncomfortable.

    We arrived at the wrong property, so embarrassing 😩it was the property round the corner but it was our fault. I phoned the owners and they came and helped us out to the right property. Once in the property it was as it was in the pictures. Everything you needed including an air fryer. The extra bonus for us as pensioners was a record player with some LPs from our era and enjoyed them thoughly. Highly recommend this property. Peace and quiet and a fantastic view.

    Heating didn't work, however as it was a brand new property, it should be expected that not everything would be 100% perfect. Despite this, it wasn't an issue as the property didn't get particularly cold. The owner provided us with a portable heater while the heating was being fixed. The road leading to the property was a bit confusing as it didn't show up on the map, meaning it can be difficult for larger vehicles to reach, however once the road is actually found, it's very easy to get in and out of.

    Great location with beautiful scenery. The place itself was cosy, with pretty much everything in easy to access locations. Not too far away from anything either, Markinch being a short drive away, meaning you could catch a train to Edinburgh should you so wish to.

    There wasn't anything we disliked, however better provision for re-cycling would be appreciated. Space inside might be too tight but somewhere outside might work?

    The location was, for us, ideal. Very quiet and with plenty of walks nearby
