“We have just returned from a successful house swap with Robin and Sheila. Their beautifully designed home is set in the wee pretty village of Limekilns. It has wonderful kitchen and cellar built into a malt kiln. Their home is very clean and well cared for. They obviously have a lot a pride in their house and the local area where they have multi generation history. There is good size off street parking. We had easy access to Stirling, Edinburgh and Fife. There is plenty to do. Robin and Sheila are wonderful hosts (we enjoyed a delicious dinner cooked by Robin the night before the exchange) and they also looked after our home as if it was their own. Our exchange was hassle free and a very good experience.”

About our home
Architecturally designed house and renovated Malt Kiln make this a very unusual exchange. Our house is sunny and warm with balcony at first floor where the living accommodation is, and terrace at ground floor where second bedroom is. We have a 3rd bedroom, but currently use this as an office. Our kitchen is within the Kiln and therefore round with everything you need for your comfort. We love our house and take great care of it. I would suggest this is not ideal for young children as the bedrooms are doubles and on different floors. We are joined on to our daughters house, so help is aways handy.

Sheila's reviews
As a host (2)“We have just returned from a lovely exchange in Limekilns near Edinburgh. The interior of the house was beautifully designed with the added attraction of a renovated kiln. We awoke in the morning to the sight of wild deer and pheasants roaming freely in the woods behind the house.It was Sheila and Robins first exchange but they had everything well planned to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.We did a tour of the highlands which was spectacular. Edinburgh is a great city to visit and we got to go to Glasgow and St. Andrews. It was a pleasure doing an exchange with Sheila and Robin.”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
We live in a historical coastal village on the River Forth, not 10 minutes from the world famous Forth Road and Rail Bridges. From here you can access Edinburgh,Glasgow, St Andrews, the East Neuk and many more places as although a village, we are very central in Scotland. Around the village and along the beach are lovely walks. Whatever you are looking for is probably in the location. Dunfermline, the local town, not only boasts the birthplace of many kings, but the home of Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Hall.
