“Amazing hospitality.....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

Unfortunately we could only stay for one night! We will be booking again for a longer stay because we found this place to be a real gem. We recieved a lovely warm welcome and were
treated like friends by the hosts, Camilla and Duncan.
The room was beautifully decorated and had amazing views from the hilltop location.
The bathroom was large and had an elegant roll top bath....luxury!
The bed was amazingly comfortable and we didn't actually want to get up, but the breakfast was well worth it. We enjoyed smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (from the local farm).
You can help yourself to an assortment of cereals and freshly prepared muffins (I had to ask for the recipe!).
If you venture into the village for food, you can choose from a few good restaurants and some quaint pubs. The locals are friendly,everybody has the time of day for you, and coming from a city, it was completely refreshing.....
We were looking for a wee getaway and found this the perfect sanctuary.

We would highly recommend a stay at Ladywell house.

Room Tip: We stayed opposite the Diana room and had amazing views

“A highlight!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

We stayed for three nights in September 2011. This was the best B& B we stayed in our month long trip. Duncan and Camilla welcomed us like old family friends. Beautifully decorated, spacious bedrooms. The breakfasts were plentiful and gourmet. The loungeroom was very welcoming with the fireplace lit every night and big comfy lounge chairs. Guests would all gather here and we met some lovely people and had some wonderful conversations. We would walk into town for dinner each night and enjoyed the Stag Inn with friendly staff and live music over the weekend. Falkland is a quaint little village and even has its own castle which we were able to tour and attended Mass in the Palace Chapel. It was the ideal base to visit St Andrews and a day trip to Edinburgh. Duncan was full of tips and information and also gave us directions to travel the scenic route to Inverness which we would have missed otherwise. Our girls enjoyed jumping on the trampoline and playing with Duncan & Camilla's gorgeous children. This made the stay very special and memorable for our girls. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

How lovely of you to write such kind words about your stay here! We loved having you to share our home, and our family. Izzy and Charlie loved the company and we would be delighted to welcome you all back when you can arrange another trip over to the antipodes. The compliments that we receive on the site, together with hundreds of cards, emails and letters that we have received over the past 7 years touch us greatly and are the geatest reward for opening our home that we could possible get.

Take care and love to the kids from ours.

“beautiful house, great host”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

We spent the night at Ladywell in September 2011 we hadn't booked and arrived quite late at night. Duncan made us feel really welcome. The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. There wasn't a televison in the room but we found this to be a big plus as it made for a more homely comfortable time. The actual village is gorgeous with Falkland palace only a little way from ladywell. Breakfast was the highlight as we have never had a cooked breakfast in that style - I wont spoil the surprise but it was very very good. Highly recommended. - Alice & Mike

A very big thank you for a lovely review and your kind words! We loved having you to stay and look forward to your return when you have to be in Fife again. Next time make it a 2 night stay and we will show off some more 'breakfast magic'.

Take care, and thanks again. Duncan

“Beautiful house in a great setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

This was our second visit and it did not dissapoint. Duncan welcomed us on our arrival and even helped to unpack the car. The bedrooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The lounge had a real fire which Duncan had lit for us, and it felt very relaxing to sit in there and chat. No television to watch was actually a refreshing relief. Duncan's breakfasts are freshly prepared and far superior to the 'normal' B&B offering. Will definitely visit again

Room Tip: Shand Kydd and Palace rooms are beautiful

40% of our guests this year have been before, or have come by way of referrals, and this is only confirms that we must be doing something right! Delighted that you could come again, and that you enjoyed your stay as much as last time. The television is behind the curtains in the Drawing Room, and can be pulled out if guests wish. We find that an open fire and a glass of something to warm the heart encourages chat and rest. We look forward to your return very soon!

“Nice B&B in a lovely town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

We spent one night at this B&B when we were unable to find accommodations in St Andrews because of "Golf Week", and were happy we did. The house is beautiful, nicely located on a hill a few minutes walk outside the lovely town of Falkland. Our room was very nice with a comfy bed, nice pastoral view and large luxurious bathroom. There is a beautiful sitting room for guests to relax in. Duncan, our host, was quite engaging and talkative and gave us good advice on restaurants and sightseeing ideas. Breakfast the next morning was one of the best we had on our vacation and served in a beautiful glass conservatory.
Our only complaint was that it was cold (end of September), the heater never came on in our room and there was no space heater provided.

We are so glad that you could not find anything in St Andrews and chose to come to stay with us! Thanks for your lovely kind words about the room and breakfast. Sorry about the heating not coming on. All of the rooms are fitted with radiators with thermostats. The turning of the knob is easy and I apologise for not showing you how to turn up the temperature when you arrived - I will remember to tell all future guests!! The beds are all fitted with electric blankets too, and now that Autumn is upon us, these will add to the supreme comfort of the beds.

Come and stay again soon.

Kind regards

Duncan and Camilla
