Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My siblings and I stayed in three lodges. We were delighted with how well equipped the accommodation was, the beautiful surroundings and the breathtaking views. The layout of each lodge was very cleverly thought out and the beds were wonderful. We enjoyed the rural setting and the farm animals. We still can't get over how fantastic it all was.

We’ve had a really fabulous stay at Morison Lodge. So comfortable, warm, spotless and luxurious with great attention to detail - the Lodge far exceeded our expectations. Great to wake up to stunning views and the sound of the sheep and goats in the little paddock! We loved the walk up to the quarry and through the wood, then back for coffee on the terrace. We’re already planning our next stay and will most definitely recommend the Lodges to others. Thank you!

Fantastic family weekend in a top location. Views are amazing - lodges are clean and very well maintained. Decorated to a very high standard. Very quiet location but only a short drive to St Andrews or Dundee. Host close by should you encounter any problems. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely place to stay, quiet and with views over St Andrews bay to die for (well if you could see St Andrews bay for the rain, but that is not Stephen's fault). The lodge had 3 bedrooms so our girls could have a bedroom each. One on-suite bedroom as well, meant the queue for the Bathroom was more then manageable. The kitchen had everything you needed for a self catering stay. Washing machine and dryer came in handy, when we returned after our days out, wet through. Dog friendly, but please consider the work that Stephen is doing from a conservation point of view, by not letting your pouch wander off into the set asides, as I did and I'm so sorry that I did. A wonderful location that allows you to explore the East Nauk of Fife, but wider afield, we went to Glamis Castle and to Balmoral.

An absolute joy to stay here. The lodges are bright, clean and have all the equipment you would need. The setting is beautiful, scenery to watch and while away the hours, play area for children in a tasteful lovely way. Goats on standby for daily antics. Was a great base to explore from weather travelling locally or further afield. Great walks on the doorstep. Just four lodges so a far and most welcome cry from the alternative large and bustling holiday parks which are just not for me. Especially loved the eco approach and sedum roofs! I’ll be trying that on the shed when I get home. 😊 Andrew and family you should be proud of what you have accomplished.

Excellent (near) farm location 15 minutes away from St Andrews. Ideal for families with dogs as it’s a very safe environment. Very clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped Lodge making it a home from home.Ideal place to get a taste of farm life as very flexible farm tour on offer during your stay.

These lodges are perfect for a family get together and the view is simply stunning. They are very cosy and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. Stephen was extremely helpful and patient with all my questions beforehand. We can't recommend them highly enough if you want to stay in the St Andrews area.

The farm tour was fantastic! Our group of ladies were taken around the land in the back of a wagon! Our guide would stop at various spots on the land and explain what they were doing in that section. We fed the sheep, goats, and chickens! Even held a chicken! You could tell right away they are very conscious to what goes into the land and the crops they grow! The cottages look like a wonderful place to stay, maybe next time while visiting Scotland! We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the farm!!!
