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!

Weekend away
Had a nice, relaxing couple of nights at the wee glass house. It was lovely, very modern, well equipped, spotless, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Lovely view too. Perfect for some quiet time. Also handy if visiting Edinburgh and surrounding areas. Our hosts made us very welcome too. Would love to visit again.

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.

Perfect for a weekend getaway
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!

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.

A wee break for Valentines
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!
