 Hi I use this site on a regular basis, WHY well I remember years gone by where you could get into your little caravan and go to almost any site for a reasonable fee, but sadly these days are gone, this little CS site offers me all I want,
It has good views of the country side, ok it has only one toilet and shower but with only 5 units on the site its ample, and it would remain clean if visitors to it cared to mop the floor after having a shower, mop and bucket sit outside door, anytime I have been on site the grass has always been cut, ok a very small amount of weeds on hard standing but owner is using weed killer to try and correct this,
Ten minutes takes you into town, and the fees are to me very reasonable, and the amps rating is excellent, I have been on bigger sites where you couldn't boil a kettle without blowing a fuse,
Overall a very good quite site if that's what your looking for.

As the previous review states the toilet and shower are not the best, the hard standing is just about the width of the caravan and could do with a recover or some weed killer applied to them. The views around the site are good, as for getting supplies St Andrews is a short drive away with plenty of shops. This site could become a very good site with a little bit work

A very quiet site with some wonderful views over the surrounding countryside very friendly owner who is more than happy to make your stay an enjoyable one. We had booked in for 11 nights but had to cut short our stay due to the grass area beneath our awning turning into a huge muddy bog with the mud oozing up through our interlocking flooring (it took us 5 hours to wash down and scrub with a broom) the way that the hardstanding pitches were set any rain that fell just collected at the edge of the pitches. We feel that the pitches need to be re done as they have become overgrown and are nothing like the pictures on the web site. We decided to use our own shower and bathroom as the one on site was very basic and not very clean if fact one lady stopping cleaned it herself one day, my wife refused to use it as to many bugs and spiders lived in it.
In a nutshell for the price of £12 p/n it is very cheap a lot of the people staying there are repeat customers but all state it is the price that keeps them coming back. Ideal for a couple of nights but any longer and the views lose there appeal

One night stop for us, we chose this site due to its closeness to St. Andrews - being less than 5 miles. The CS site is next to the farm and has glorious views over Fife. The hardstandings are gravel and the grass was well cut so even of a wet stay we found it easy to get on and off the pitch.
Toilet / shower is old but does its job - it could do with a freshen up. Water and ehu close to pitches, no motorhome disposal on site. The owner was really friendly and helpful and we felt really welcome. Plenty to do in the area - St. Andrews is lovely but the villages and beaches around Lower Largo and Anstruther are stunning.
It is a farm CS with basic facilities buit the price accurately reflects this. We would use again for sure - its peaceful and really close to the tourists spots so well worth the money.

Stayed here in august weekend. Good views and nice pitch. Shower was clean for being outside. Toilet clean. The only thing was cob webs in the shower and toilet unit. Quite a build up. Could do with a brush down every few days. Staff were nice. I would be back. Good location. Close to st andrews. Well kept grounds. Great if you got kids as there are friendly horses in the field. Handy picnic table.

Found this site on UKCampsite.co.uk for my stay to go to St. Andrews. A really great site and would certainly be my choice next time I am in the area. Good access to toilet and shower and everything about the site was easy to use and clean and tidy. Very nice owners and helpful and friendly. I had two dogs with me. Very good facilities for them in next door fields and a real dog friendly area. Get a good map of where you are going. My confusion with the site is that there are three or four sites in the same area with similar names - so know which one you have chosen. Absolutely faultless. Easy access if you have a large van or are towing. The road is a minor road but obviously easily accessible for large farm machinery etc so no problems at all with that. Loved it and will be back.

Only one night at this lovely campsite but we will return I hope. Beautiful views over the Fife countryside and a short walk up Drumcarrow Craig, recommended by owner, gave us more views to St Andrews and the coast. Interesting broch and hut circles there too. Pitches are flat and spacious and the facilities are good for a reasonable cost. It is near the famous Peat Inn but unfortunately it was fully booked when we visited-will book in advance next time.

We stayed at this site over the October half term for a week to see our son who is stationed at RAF Leuchars. Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and the satnav stopped half way along the road so I phoned the owner of the site to ask where exactly where the site was. He very kindly stood in the road with a torch and guided us into the field. During our stay there was only one or two other units staying, so we never had a problem waiting to use the toilet or shower. We found the facilities basic but more than adequate for our need and for the price charged. The area is lovely, with lots of places to visit, especially if you are a member of the NT. The owner was very friendly and lent us a file on places to visit. St. Andrews, Dundee and Anstruther are well worth a visit. We will definitely use this site again.

In November, this was the only site still open and also within easy reach of the golf course we were playing at St Andrews. Despite its postal address, it's much further from Cupar.
Positives - blissfully quiet. Beautiful views to the Fife countryside. No light pollution meant plenty of stars at night (you need a torch to read the toilet lock keypad at night). The sound of owls at night and skeins of geese by day. Sited up above the fog that filled the valley below one frosty morning. Fabulous sunsets and sunrises. Loads of room between the very long narrow hard stands
The water standpipe has a long enough hose for motorhomes, though the very soft ground may make access to it difficult. A very friendly owner who accommodated us at short notice, his Kelpie sheepdogs are very friendly too.
Negatives - at £15 for hardstand and EHU, it is an expensive CS for what you get and it felt run down - no toilet paper, but half a dozen empty old tubes in the bin; and the shower cubicle was grubby and unappealing, so we didn't pay the additional 50p (showered at the golf clubhouse instead).
As there was no-one else there, our dog was under control off-lead - the immediate dog walk otherwise is along the quiet road because the fields are full of livestock.
There's a pleasant walk - with or without a dog - at nearby Magus Muir wood near Strathkinnes, with its old monuments. Cupar is a beautiful town with interesting buildings, worth half a day.
Would we come back? Great location not matched by what's provided. So maybe yes, maybe no.

Management response: I would like to apologise for the experience you have had and taken onboard the negative comments. When you came to stay the site was closed and maintenance had stopped for the winter. The charge of £15 per night was a one off due to the fact we beleived that the electricity drawn would have been far greater than during peak season due to the freezing tempratures and increased heater usage. I would also like to thankyou for your comments as they allow us to ensure that we can do everything we can to ensure you get maximum satisfaction from your stay and have put the following changes into practice for the next season.
The rates for next season have been changed to £11 per night Sun-Thursday and £12 per night Fri-Sat.
We are removing the key code entry for the shower and toilet block and placing a light above the door.
We are also putting a daily cleaning rota into place for the shower and toilet block.
The partitions between the hard standing are all being painted and the shower and toilet block will also be painted.
The perimiter fence around the park is also going to be removed and replaced.
We have ordered more gravel to freshen up the hard standing for the coming season as well.
We will ensure the grass on site will be strimmed, cut and collected weekly.
We will be offering an honesty box of wood chucks on site for anyone needing them.
Finally I would like to apologise again and offer you an extra nights stay on your next visit. Hope you are well and enjoy the coming season.
Kindest Regards
Hugh Gillan

A small rural site with 5 hardstandings for caravans. The tent area is a narrow strip of grass opposite the vans no EHU in this area so we ended up using the grass strip next to a hardstanding. Only suitable for small to mid sized tents.
The tent area is also the most exposed and since you're at the top of a hill in open coutryside I think it willl always be windy.
The toilets were ok they could have been a little cleaner but usable.
Close to St Andrews and Cupar for shopping etc. St Andrews is definitely worth a visit.
One of the better sites in Fife which appears to be dominated by large holiday parks filled with statics.
