We spent a weekend in the Emsdorf. Stunned by the quality of the house build and the generous space and consideration given to those with bigger challenges than others. It made for a very comfortable stay, nearly everything was catered for down to the tea, coffee, milk and cake on arrival. Genuinely blown away by the facilities and luxury of the space, many thanks to all involved at Homelands Trust

This is our 4th stay at Homelands. All of the properties are well equipped, spacious & comfortable for everyone. It’s wonderful to be able to take our dad on holiday, have all his needs met in a home away from home, and accommodation that is child and dog friendly. The staff onsite are very helpful and kind too. Great location for exploring Fife but plenty within walking distance if you don’t want to travel far. We will be back!

We had a lovely break at Emadorf. The property was beautiful, very clean, spacious with everything you would need for your break. It was fully accessible in a lovely community of properties. The location was also perfect, right in the heart of Fife with lots of lovely places to visit nearby. We loved a walk to the beach each day (not accessible for wheelchairs) with the kids and spotted lots of wildlife. Would definitely come back. Thanks for a lovely break.

Dear Graeme, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your comments. We apologise that we had issues with the central heating and at this time of year we certainly couldnt expect guests not to have a warm cosy lodge so we appreciate you accepting our offer of an alternative for your stay. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind Regards - The Homelands Team

Lovely break in a beautiful lodge in a stunning location. Excellent space and comfort throughout.

Every possible need had been thought of and was taken care of in a super high-quality fashion. It meant so much to know my mother was comfortable and I didn't have to worry about her being able to manage all her personal care. The kitchen was superbly fitted out too so that meal preparation was not stressful in any way.
The property is in a lovely location and very peaceful. Even in winter it was a relaxing place to stay.

We have stayed at Homelands many times over the past eight years. Emsdof is one of the new lodges just built this year. It is of a high standard with very comfortable beds and furniture. It is well equipped, spotless and warm. Homelands is situated at the start of East Neuk of Fife so very handy to visit lovely coastal villages. Homeland lodges are accessible for people with all levels of disabilities. There are hoists and you can hire equipment if needed. Emsdof has a large wet room and an accessible toilet downstairs. Upstairs are two large bedroom with a beautiful large bathroom with a large walk in shower and a bath. We have found the staff at Homelands to be friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Homelands for a holiday break.

We love the attention to detail at homelands my wife particularly loved Largo which we stayed in in the summer of 2023, her main reason was she can see the sea from the window and patio, I think this is the only lodge with a clear view of the sea.
There are 1 or 2 bits we would change. A sara stedy would be preferable to the current model, the main reason is there is protection at the sides that cages in her leg and stops it falling out, I keep her in the Freeway unit for the minimum possible time, whereas she can get dressed in her stedy at home.
In the summer it is too hot for 10.5 tog quilts, i had to buy a summer quilt whilst there in July, also we found the pillows too puffy and high for the profile bed pushing my wife's head forward, again i purchased flatter ones during our summer stay and brought them back in the autumn.
You are doing lots right as we booked yesterday for next Summer.

Dear Matt, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your comments. We are delighted that you have been enjoying your time with us Homelands. We always appreciate feedback from our guests. We are sorry that you are not finding the bedding convenient for your stay. We always find this incredibly difficult to address, particularly when it regards heating levels of the lodges as a great deal of guests request the temperature of the lodges to be at different levels depending on their mobility levels or diagnosis. In the main we are asked to increase the heat. We do take on board your comments however. Moving forward when we purchase a second sit-to-stand aid, if this becomes an item requested more frequently we will certainly consider the stedy as it does seem to be the main brand guests are familiar with. At this stage, we still only have a handful of guests requesting use of this item at present but this is being kept under review. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind Regards - The Homelands Team

Fantastic Lodge!

Emsdorf is a brilliant lodge and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Accessibility is fantastic - all of the doors throughout are possible the widest I've ever seen in an accessible accommodation. Homelands have an access guide with heaps of detail, but these were my favourite bits:

Hall: Huge hall with plenty of space to store and charge a scooter.
Kitchen: I loved the wheel-under breakfast bar/food prep area and the hideaway oven door
Living area: The huge patio doors leading out the paved patio area are fantastic.
Bedroom: Both beds were very comfortable. The wheelchair-user height clothes rail in the wardrobe was very much appreciated. I don't currently use a hoist but it was great to see the ceiling tracking hoist.
Bathroom: The wetroom bathroom is huge! Has a hoist, several options for shower seating, and I loved that the grab rails were chrome - definitely more stylish than others I've seen. There's also another separate accessible toilet downstairs!

We didn't use upstairs but my wife had a look and said it's all very high quality up there too. It's clear Homelands Trust really care about their guests and the accommodation they provide. We met Kim the general manager who was so lovely and helpful.

I stayed at Emsdorf to put together a video, blog and social media review- socials @wheelybraw. I highly recommend a stay here!

We have been visiting Homeland for about eight years. The lodges are spacious, spotless and the beds are so comfortable. There is now four new lodges added to the original ones. This charitable organisation has thought of everything needed for all different types of disabilities where people can have a relaxing holiday. The staff are so nice and nothing is a problem. If there is something you think that would be helpful to you to make your stay better then just ask at the office. Homelands is a dog friendly place and walks on the beach which is just a short walk from the complex is great for both dog and able bodied owner.
Homelands is situated at the start of The East Neuk of Fife it has easy access to beautiful scenery and lovely villages with lots of nice tea room and places to stop. We will be back thank you Homelands for providing a great place to holiday.

Our lodge was extremely clean, very spacious and had exactly what was required for my mums needs to enable her to spend some quality time with her grandchildren. We have stayed in these lodges before but this was our first time at Emsdorf. I would prefer to stay in a different lodge next time purely because of the main road, I am a very light sleeper so my sleep was interrupted because of the heavy traffic passing which could be heard from both main windows of the bedroom. Another issue we had was the temperatures of the bedrooms upstairs, our thermostat on our baby monitor read 26-28degrees all three nights and we weren’t able to keep the windows open because of the noisy road so I would advise having portable fans to use next summer. Lastly, because of where the lodge is situated, the patio area is more sheltered from the sun than the other lodges which is a shame but at least we were able to go to the beach nearby to make the most of the weather. Other than those minor issues we had a brilliant weekend and the main focus was for my mum to spend time with the kids, we will 100% be back again.

Superb lodge. Very comfortable for all. Well appointed kitchen and utility room. Great parking. Location of lodge means you have to drive everywhere but lovely villages nearby. Information provided in lodge is helpful but you also need to do your homework too. When we had an issue with an external door it was resolved quickly. Homelands staff are lovely. I emailed several times with specific requests which were all met.

Our first stay at Homelands was an extremely positive experience. We were overwhelmed by the all-round quality of the lodge which patently reflected the depth of planning, thought and empathy which had gone into its inception and delivery. The lodge offers an abundance of space, comfort and tranquillity for both the cared-for person and their carers. The only reason I did not award customer service the highest score was that there was very little need for interaction with staff due to the pristine quality of the lodge. It was very good value for money but who wouldn't love the week to be a little cheaper in the current economic climate !
The location offered an abundance of variety and interest. With the benefit of a powered wheelchair we enjoyed local walks to Lower Largo harbour and to Blacketyside Farm Shop; to the walled garden at Kellie Castle; to Anstruther and to West Sands Beach at St Andrews (where we also hired a beach wheelchair via the Hamish Foundation). On a personal note I enjoyed visiting and photographing the very impressive standing stones on the neighbouring golf course (after first seeking permission). All in all exceptional accommodation and wonderful location. We plan to visit again soon.

This was our first stay in the new lodges, having visited Homelands many times and never being disappointed. The new lodges are a delight, very comfortable, ample parking and very spacious. The team have thought about everything, obviously learning from their original lodges (which could not be faulted) , and poured all their knowledge and love into the new ones! Completely accessible, and very luxurious. We had a very private back garden and patio area, easily accessed via the two sliding doors. The ground floor bedroom is beautiful, with two sets of french doors opening onto the patio. Excellent wifi and the smart tv was an added bonus. I cannot wait to return.

We have visited Homelands many time in the past. This is the first time in a new lodge. The lodge was beautiful with lovely furnishing and comfortable beds. It had everything we needs for a great holiday. The booking and payment is easy, all done on line or by phone, clear instructions for all equipment with good info on the area and where to visit. The staff are friendly and very helpful.
The only negative point about Emsdorf is its next to the road and the traffic noise when sitting outside was a little disturbing but inside we couldn’t hear it. This didn’t spoil our holiday we are booked to go again in September 2023.

Stayed in Homelands accommodation several times due to ideal location and totally the accommodation being accessible. This time we decided to try one of the new lodges. Really impressed with the new lodges, great design and great facilities, whist also providing comfort and and accessibility. Liked it that much we have booked again for later this year.
