Charming Cottage in Historic Dunfermline, close to several Outlander Locations

Short-Term Lets licence number: FI 00245 F.
Carnegie Cottage in Grieve Street Dunfermline is the lower apartment of a typical late 19th century worker's cottage. It retains many original features, including cast-iron fireplaces, cornicing, original hardwood panelled doors and internal window shutters, but with central heating - which guests can switch on and off as they wish - and all the modern day equipment you expect in a holiday rental - most importantly of all for many, FREE fast unlimited WiFi. Most of our guests love the cosy old world atmosphere of this property and many return year after year.

The large DOUBLE BEDROOM is furnished with a double bed, wardrobe, cupboards, bedside tables and lamps, and has central heating. The window looks out onto the quiet front street. Bedding and ample towels are provided but heavy towel users are welcome to bring extra of their own.

The SMALL BEDROOM is equipped with a single bed, wardrobe and bedside table.. The room is centrally heated with a window overlooking gardens. Again bedding and towels are provided.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY There two beds in the main bedroom and a single bed in the small bedroom, but a fourth person may be accommodated on the single sofa bed in the Living Room which can be made up by the guests themselves if required, using the bedding supplied.

The LIVING/DINING ROOM is furnished with a settee and cushions, dining table and four chairs, coffee tables, bookshelves with a selection of books of local interest, Freeview TV, etc.

A SEPARATE KITCHEN is equipped with a free-standing electric cooker with hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine/drier, kettle, toaster, pots and pans, plates and dishes etc..

There is a SHOWER ROOM and an adjacent room with a TOILET AND WASH BASIN. Both are centrally heated.

The property is NON-SMOKING and the burning of candles is NOT allowed. There is a private area outside at the rear where smokers can indulge.

ACCESS: the front entrance to the apartment is on the level with no steps to climb. There is also a door at the rear with external stone steps down to the yard. The toilet and shower are NOT wheelchair accessible.

FREE PARKING is available on the quiet 20mph limited road immediately outside the cottage.

ENTRY is from 4.00pm, checkout 10.00am. We have a keybox so late arrival is no problem.

LOCATION: We are in a quiet residential location near to countryside and parkland, yet just a few minutes walk to Dunfermline town centre, with all the usual shops large and small, and numerous cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Tescos in town is open until 11.00pm most evenings and Asda at Hallbeath 24/7.
With historic buildings, museums, country walks, and delightful parkland of its own, Dunfermline is also ideally situated for visiting many of the historic towns and villages of Scotland, whether travelling by car, or public transport. The main bus/coach station is 10 minutes walk from the cottage. You are never far from the sea, a golf course, historic castle or mansion, and our attractive hilly countryside.

Magical Cottage
We had a wonderful time staying in this magical cottage. It was lovely and cosy. The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need and more. One of the windows from the kitchen looks over the lovely natural wild garden and it was lovely being able to sit in the garden in the evenings, watching the birds and other wildlife. The cottage and the surrounding area was lovely and quite. Trevor our host, was very helpful and responded to any questions we had very quickly, which was a massive help. The cottage is also five minutes walk to The Glen (Pittencrieff Park), which is a beautiful park. The rail station is a 30 minute walk and the bus station is around a 10 minute walk from the Cottage. We would definitely come back and stay at this magical cottage.

A very comfortable and charming cottage, which has everything that you will need.
Had a really lovely stay, the cottage in really close to Dunfermline centre and the Glen, so everything this was close to hand and at easy reach. The cottage was very comfortable and welcoming, with free wifi, which we took advantage off. I found everything was very clean with fresh towels all folded and waiting for us on our arrival. The weather was fortunately really nice on our weeks stay which made our holiday perfect. I would recommend staying in this cottage to anyone that is visiting/staying in Dunfermline.

Nice place, nice location
Very comfortable house in a great location in easy walking distance to town centre and beautiful park. Stayed nice and warm throughout a very cold two months. We would recommend it even for a short stay and would definitely rent it again if the occasion arises.

Cozy Cottage
The cottage was well equipped for our family of five. We enjoyed our stay in Scotland and it was a pleasant place to rest our heads at the end of a busy day of exploring.

Hält nicht, was sie verspricht
Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war schnell und gut – das ist positiv zu bewerten. Die Unterkunft allerdings war enttäuschend. Ja, wir haben keine 5-Sterne-Unterkunft erwartet, aber teilweise war die Tapete abgerissen oder blätterte ab, in manche Ecken durfte man nicht genau hinschauen, die sanitären Räume bestehen aus einem winzigen Raum mit Duschkabine und einem zweiten kleinen Raum mit Toilette und kleinem Waschbecken (von Badezimmer kann man eigentlich gar nicht sprechen), der Garten ist total verwildert und es gibt nur zwei Gartenstühle, obwohl für 4 Personen vermietet wurde ... Einmal, bei sehr starkem Regen, tropfte es in der Küche (Anbau) durch die Decke! Das sind nur einige Punkte – es scheint seit 40 Jahren nichts mehr gemacht worden zu sein, außer dass es unbegrenzt WLAN und einen großen TV gibt. Es mag sein, dass die Unterkunft nach englischen Maßstäben in Ordnung ist, nach deutschen allerdings nicht. Wir können, Stand August 2023, keine Empfehlung aussprechen. Und wir haben tatsächlich schon einige Selbstversorger-Urlaubsunterkünfte erlebt.

Schottischer Charm
Die Wohnung selbst ist in einem nicht renovierten Zustand. Es lassen sich keine Fenster öffnen. Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Dunfermline ist ein schöner Ort gut gelegen, um Trips Richtung Edinburgh und dem norden der Lowlands zu machen.

Drei Sterne
An diese Wohnung mussten wir uns erst gewöhnen. So ähnlich wohnten meine Großeltern. Die Haustür ist verzogen, kaum Abstellfläche in Toilette und Bad, wenige Haken für Garderobe und Handtücher. Die Aussicht vorne geht auf die Straße und auf eine von einem Bauzaun umzäunte Rasenfläche und hinten auf den verwilderten Garten, zu dem von der Küche eine steile Treppe hinunterführt. Im Wohnzimmer ist es sehr dunkel. Fenster sind schwer zu öffnen. In den Garten geht man eigentlich nicht. In der Küche haben wir kaum gekocht; die Töpfe waren sehr abgenutzt. Aber es hat etwas sehr Gemütliches. Das Wohnzimmer ist ein Zuhause, wenn man lange unterwegs war. Und das Bett im Schlafzimmer ist sehr gut. Dunfermline ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge; mit dem Zug ist man in 35 min mitten in Edinburgh. Wir waren in Stirling, Glasgow, Pitlochry, Perth, St. Andrews und an der Küste. Auch Dunfermline haben wir besucht. Von der Wohnung geht es in der Seitenstraße bergab in einem wunderbaren Park. Und Mr. Smith ist ein liebenswürdiger Mann.
