Perfect accommodation with disabled child and a dog. Cleanliness of the accommodation and having equipment for disabled was brilliant. Only downside was a bit of a struggle with the wheelchair in the area.

My husband is completely wheelchair dependent. We absolutely loved it. Clean and tidy, washing machine and tumble dryer absolute god send.
Everything my husband uses and needs at home in the way of equipment was there.
The beds are amazingly comfy. My husband said his air mattress was amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Best adapted place we've ever stayed in after25 years with wheelchair!

A few suggestions:

Lighting at kitchen sink is poor need under cupboard lights.

A TV upstairs would be nice.

TV in downstairs bedroom cupboard odd but presumably for the bedridden?

A to do before leaving list would be helpful, we were hunting back thru folders! And still missed the windows.

Thank you for your recent review of Durham Lodge, Homelands. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are addressing the need for better lighting in the kitchen, and whilst we have placed rechargeable lights under the cupboards, they have not proved as good as we would have liked. We hope that you will book for a return visit to Homelands in the future.

Had a fantastic time

Homelands have thought of everything. The cottages are totally adapted with everything you could possibly need making your stay for everyone a real feeling of home from home. Lovely spacious rooms, very comfortable living area and bedrooms with adjustable seating and beds which makes all the difference when on holiday. The grounds are super clean with lovely gardens and outlook from every cottage. The area is simply fabulous with lots of lovey coastal villages and towns from Leven up to St Andrews. Lower Largo and the beach a stroll away is fabulous. We will definitely book again.

We stayed 3 nights in the Durham accommodation and ordered the stand aid and shower recliner which were both there when we arrived.
The property is of a very high standard with lots of adaptations to take the stress out of trips away with a relative using an electric wheelchair.
The information and checks provided by the admin team prior to arrival was very reassuring and the information on line and in the accommodation was brilliant.
Plenty to do in the area and lots of accessible information available too.
We will definitely be back.

Durham lodge was perfect for our needs, with a huge open plan living area (even larger than we had expected from the photos). Everything was brand new, including very comfortable beds and a large downstairs wetroom. The whole family loved the reclining arm chair too! The village of Lundin Links was quiet and we found the little local shop to be useful. We managed to do day trips to Edinburgh, and also visited St Andrews and other places along the coast. It was a really lovely holiday and we hope to return.

Homelands was very well organised from booking to arrival. The accommodation- Durham- was very spacious, excellent quality and well equipped with everything we needed, so we didn’t use some things we brought with us e.g. cleaning items, dishwasher detergent, washing powder. Hand wash in the toilets and washing up liquid supplied too. Good small convenience store within a short walk, (not accessible but they deliver), as was the Old Manor Hotel, accessible and welcoming with good reasonably priced food. We didn’t bring the electric wheelchair, so couldn’t manage the push up from main entrance. We did manage the back gate onto Leven Road. Power chair next time! Well done and thank you Homelands Fife.

Great time at Homelands as always. Disappointed that the large green metal container at the bottom of the garden which is blocking the beautiful view has still not been removed. Staff assured me it will be getting moved but think it has been there now since the new lodges opened ☹️




Kim O'Brien - Assistant Manager replied more than 1 year ago
Dear Louise, Thank you for staying with us again and for taking the time to leave us a review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. We are currently trying to push on with removal of the container. We would prefer to find a new home for it where it can be of use to a local group and we are working on that at present. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind Regards - The Homelands Team.

We chose Homelands as it seemed to tick all the boxes for our needs and it certainly lived up to expectations. The accommodation was excellent, so spacious, modern and clean. The location was wonderful too, near to the sea with lots of interesting walks and places of interest to see.
