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 :)

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!

Best VRBO we’ve ever been to
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.

Highly recommend!!! This studio apartment is in a prime location with a tremendous view of The Forth Bridge, an engineering wonder of the world. With the Fife Coastal path directly across the road, the local train station within a 20 mins walk and the motorway a 15 mins drive it is a prime location. There are also plenty of shops, supermarkets and restaurants close by. The apartment is immaculate and very well maintained. It has everything you need, making it a home from home. The hosts are very friendly and always on hand to help. We stayed here for three weeks on our visit to Scotland from Australia. It will be our first choice of places to stay the next time we visit.

Perfect Place To Stay
The Wee Glass House is just across the firth from Edinburgh. The view of the firth, the bridges, and the city are amazing! The house looks exactly as it's presented in the images on VRBO. It was easy to access, very convenient for either driving anywhere (we went to the highlands and as far as Glen Coe one day) or taking the bus or train into the cities. Very short walk to the bus, very short drive to the train station. Alan was helpful & responsive. Great host. The bed was comfortable, the home was immaculately well kept. Just can't say enough about this place other than to say I wish I lived there.

Wee Glass House
Alan is a superb host that anticipates every possible need for travelers. The Wee Glass House is a Smart House! So many cool gadgets which Alan fully explained on arrival. This stay was more than just a typical VRBO stay, the host was so helpful in every imagist way by sending us links to the bus schedules, suggestions on travel routes and history lessons on the bridges in the area. A most excellent experience that we’d definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a gorgeous view, friendly/knowledgeable host and off the beaten path yet close to the bus line.

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!

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!

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.

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!
