About this cottage rental
Homelands is a charitable trust which provides fully accessible luxury self catering accommodation in 9 purpose built lodges (Lundin, Largo, Drummochy, Massney, Cardy, Keil, Selkirk, Durham and Emsdorf). The lodges are situated in the picturesque village of Lundin Links overlooking Lundin Links Golf course with open views to Edinburgh over the Firth of Forth.
Lundin Links is in the heart of the beautiful East Neuk of Fife 12 miles from St Andrews; the home of golf and the home of third oldest university in the English speaking world, and a short distance from the East Neuk's rugged coastline and its character filled fishing villages such as Crail, Anstruther, and Pitenweem. Lower Largo and Lundin Links themselves are famed for their links to the original Robinson Crusoe (Alexander Selkirk) whose birthplace in Lower Largo is a short distance from the Lodge. The village features a bar, restaurant, sports club (including tennis courts) and a small parade of shops including pharmacy, butchers, bakers, post office, and general store all within a short distance of the lodges.
The region is famed for it's outdoor sports/activities, water sports, history and fresh produce / sea food; served in many of the local restaurants which range from Michelin Starred to world famous and favoured by Royals fish and chips in Anstruther.
Further afield we are an hour from Edinburgh (Scotland's Capital City) and Dundee which houses the Discovery museum and the new Victoria and Albert museum.
The lodges have been specifically designed with accessibility in mind and a wealth of features have been incorporated into the designs to ensure they are as accessible as possible, including specialist support equipment/ facilities such as ceiling tracking hoists, a full spacious wetroom, profiling beds, airflow mattress, Clos-o-Mat toilet (depending upon lodge) and riser/recliner chair. We can also provide a range of specialist equipment free of charge on request such as mobile hoists, various shower chairs, a shower trolley, and equipment for people who have a hearing loss. These specialist items must be booked in advance and are allocated on a first come first served basis. For more information about what we provide please get in touch, our helpful staff will happily discuss your requirements.

Was here in July with lady we look after, she hadn’t been on holiday for 25 years, she loved it so much and getting out everyday to different destinations, she requested to go back again for a winter break in November, which she had another fantastic time, and said she be back in summer of 2026.

We have been going to Homelands for eleven years. The lodges are very comfortable, spotless and have comfortable beds. We have stayed in most of the lodges old and new. They are very accessible for people with all levels of disabilities. The staff are very helpful. Homelands is situated in Lundin Links in the East Neuk of Fife which is very picturesque and a short drive takes you to other villages in the area.
Leven is only ten minutes by car where there are supermarkets and shops. For those who like a walk you can walk along the beach to get to Leven. You are next to the Fife coastal path another lovely area to walk.
Lundin Links is a small village with a small SPAR, a lovely butchers, coffee shop and gift shop.The people are very friendly and they are a welcoming community.

When we first arrived at Emsdorf Lodge we were taken aback by how spacious it was. The bedroom downstairs with a profiling bed and single divan bed was a massive room. The living room was huge and so was the kitchen. support staff noted how the breakfast bar being low down on one side for a wheelchair user was a perfect touch. Everything has been so well thought out and items like the couches and chairs were commented how comfortable and soft they were. One of the things that really felt like luxury to me was how big the adapted bathroom was. The shower plinth we ordered was able to be moved about with plenty of room which compared to our bathrooms at home was just incredible.
The only thing I would say that if you didn’t drive it would be a bit out the way but as we had 2 cars/drivers with us it was perfect for exploring
Thank you for all during your stay and we will hopefully be back very soon.

Such a lovely place to discover for our residential break with carers and their cared for person. Our group was large and diverse with elderly people with limited mobility to young adults with global development delay and profound disabilities.
The accommodation was large, clean and welcoming and accessible for all with lovely views and ample outdoor space to sit and eat and relax.
Cake and milk and coffee available on arrival which was a really nice addition - help and welcoming staff throughout.
Great location- close to the beach and other places such a St Andrews a short drive away.
Kitchen and bathroom facilities excellent. The kitchen had ample space and equipment for us to prepare meals and was easy to clean,
We would definitely like to return.
