Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
First Floor:
Living room: 38" Freeview TV
Kitchen/dining room: Gas Cooker, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed

Lawned garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture (shared with other apartments). On road parking; additional public car park, free of charge. No smoking. . From the front door of this delightful, first floor apartment, you can spend time exploring the picturesque coastal village of Culross, with its cobbled streets and lanes, painted houses and red pan tiled roofs dating back to medieval times. Visit Culross Palace and Gardens and Culross Abbey, or step back in time and stroll up Back Causeway, a cobbled alleyway which has a raised central aisle that was used by noblemen to separate them from the ’commoners’.
Wandering around Culross gives you a unique opportunity to walk through history and experience what 17th and 18th-century towns in Scotland would of looked like at the time. As such, the town has been used for film locations including ’The Little Vampire, ’A Dying Breed’, ’The 39 Steps’ and ’Captain America: The First Avenger’. More recently, it has been used in the mystical and spellbinding TV saga ’Outlander’, where the town was transformed into the fictional village of Cranesmuir where Geillis lives. If you would like to follow in the footsteps of the characters from Outlander, then there are many of the other locations within driving distance, including Blackness Castle, Linlithgow Palace and Hopetoun House.
For walker and cyclists, the Fife Coastal Path passes through the village taking you along the shore to nature reserves and pretty villages. Only 30 minutes drive away is Stirling and Edinburgh Airport, where you can use the park and ride for easy access to the city centre. Beach 3 miles. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Great apartment, in excellent location...we would happily recommend it.

Sandhaven was a lovely place to stay. Beautifully furnished and well-equipped - plus a very generous and well thought out welcome basket - it was warm, cosy and set in the centre of an amazing village which boasted two dog-friendly cafes and lots of from-the-doorstep walks. We loved it and hope to return. Thank you x

This is a lovely upper apartment in a beautiful village and ideally located for access to other locations. The garden is shared between other properties but the owner does have chairs that you can use to sit out in in the public grassed area. The Red Lion (literally 2 mins walk from the cottage) is amazing for evening meals, booking is essential as it is extremely popular. I would recommend the pans in the property are replaced and a replacement toilet brush. Working for a cleaning company additional attention to detail in the cleaning of the bathroom tiles and shower mat (black mould) along with under furniture in the lounge would be beneficial to the property. No shop in the village, we stocked up at the local supermarket in Alloa for our week but worth bearing in mind. This is a wee gem and I would have no hesitation in returning.
