We had a hiccup to start out but Allan was quick to make up for everything. The unit was clean, spacious and convenient. He showed us how to get to the nearby bus stop, but there is ample parking for the days we drove. If you do opt to take the bus, make sure you flag them down. I am used to buses stopping whenever there are people at the stop, but not Stage Coach. Luckily it wasn't hard to get to an alternative route to stay on schedule.

What an absolute amazing find this was. Alan the host and owner couldn’t have been a more hospitable and friendly. He showed us around the apartment and how to use all of the fantastic technology that comes with it. The view is unreal, just wow wow wow!!!. We were staying as we were attending a family wedding in Edinburgh but we also wished we had longer to appreciate the area that the Wee Glasshouse is in. An amazing weekend in a beautiful area in a fabulous apartment. Just wow!!!

Alan was the perfect host, he could not do enough for us. Check in was seamless and amazing information given about the property and surrounding area. The Wee Glasshouse is stunning and so comfortable, a home from home with all the added extras!On Alan’s advice we were able to take the bus into the city centre (35-40mins) from a walk just up the road one day and the next took the train from Dalgety Bay which has free all day parking. This also meant we travelled over all three bridges into the city. I cannot recommend this property highly enough for cleanliness, friendliness and position - I haven’t even mentioned the stunning views!!! I could go on.

Wonderful place, beautiful location and great hosts!

This place was a beautiful home away from home for the 3 nights we stayed there! Alan was there to meet us and help us with our luggage and show us around the property. It is a beautiful place and a great location to easily catch a bus to Edinburgh or drive to any other sights. We could have stayed longer and enjoyed every minute!

Weekend away

Had a nice, relaxing couple of nights at the wee glass house. It was lovely, very modern, well equipped, spotless, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Lovely view too. Perfect for some quiet time. Also handy if visiting Edinburgh and surrounding areas. Our hosts made us very welcome too. Would love to visit again.

Perfect for a weekend getaway

A fab spot which has all you need for a weekend (or longer) getaway. Alan is a great host. We were in the city for the half marathon and Alan answered lots of questions we had about getting to the city for the event etc. Should we find ourselves in Edinburgh in the future, we'll be checking for availability at the Wee Glass House!

What a memorable stay in this beautifully located apartment.The views over the Firth of Forth are spectacular and the Fife coastal path is just outside the door - again with beautiful views of the area.We stayed for a week and our host Alan was so thoughtful and kind. He has thought of everything to make a stay at the Wee Glasshouse memorable.The location is ideal for exploring the Fife coast and is also very convenient for travelling to Edinburgh and the airport. We will certainly be back - thank you Alan for providing us with the perfect accommodation for our nostalgic tour around Fife.

Perfect with a spectacular view

We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The view is spectacular! The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood with a lovely walking path along the water. Alan was so friendly, helpful, gives great suggestions, and gave us all the information we needed for getting into Edinburgh and was quickly responsive when we needed help figuring out the buses. We highly recommend The Wee Glass House! Thank you Alan!

A wee break for Valentines

The Wee Glasshouse is absolutely fantastic! Clean, cosy, comfortable, with all mod cons including smart controlled Velux windows, TV, and lighting. The view from the main windows is breathtaking! Alan and his family (owners) are very friendly and welcoming, in addition to being on hand for any enquiries etc. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

Grear location for short term stay on the Fife Coastal Path

Great location if you have a car to get around or just plan on hiking the FCP. Public transportation spotty. Studio beautiful and peaceful but sometimes the smart house technology does not work which can be annoying but owner very helpful in troubleshooting any issues.

We can’t say enough about our stay at The Wee Glass House. The accommodations were perfect! Clean and comfortable. The view was incredible!!!!! The owner, Alan, felt like a fourth son to me. He was so helpful! He explained all the technology in the apartment, helped us with our bags, recommended transportation and restaurants, etc. His daughter even picked us up after our long journey.

Absolutely Perfect Spot

Where to begin?! We loved our stay in the Wee Glass House. Our host was amazing and so friendly. It was probably the cleanest and most well kept place we have ever stayed. The kitchen is fully furnished and our host even had a few goodies there for us already! The view is absolutely gorgeous and there is a river walk right across the street. If you’re interested in taking a bus to Edinburgh or surrounding areas, the bus stop is very close to the house. We walked there in just a couple minutes. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back some day. I can’t recommend this property enough!

The best hosts ever

My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks on our honeymoon and honestly I cannot say enough good things about Alan and the Wee Glasshouse!! The house was carefully designed-unique-clean-and super comfortable. The view was spectacular-as well as the coastal path that is right across from it where you can take a nice, long walk among the wildflowers and next to the ocean. :) Alan is a SUPERhost for good reason. So kind and willing to help at anytime. We're mates now! I can't wait to stay again :)
