We found the Kiel to be very clean and tidy. The location is very quiet and you would not know that these buildings even existed from the road. The facilities are well laid out and very easy to access. With free Wi-Fi and a roku box keeping entertained is easy and with jigsaws etc in the room lots to do if you don’t want to go out. Local cafes and shops are within an easy drive along the coast. I would recommend these houses for a holiday

Thank you for your review of Keil Lodge. We are so glad you enjoyed your getaway and you found that the lodge was well equipped with all that you needed. The lodge is certainly the place to be when the weather doesn't permit you going out and exploring the area, but on the days that you can get out, there are so many interesting place to visit nearby.

Had a great time, the property had a good amount off items to support the disabled visitor, walk in wet room, profile bed, all on the ground floor total flat from car to inside to the patio. All properties have EV chargers on the outside as well another EV point near the office. I had to arrange a carer & nurses to visit while I was there which was no problem. Only think is the garden at the property is total open so pets have to be kept on lead. I think that I’ll be back some time.

We come to Homelands regularly and we are never disappointed. From the time of booking through to the time of leaving, the communication, support and attention to detail is excellent. The house is spacious and spotless with all the facilities we need for a home from home, which is why we come so regularly. Almost as important is the location - so much to see and do with beautiful country and seaside nearby. Would highly recommend a visit

With one of the family being terminally ill, we wanted to have a few days away, just to give them a change of scenery, and also to give us all a break from the norm, with the chance to make some memories while still possible.
Keil Lodge gave us that and more. Its location and accessibility for wheelchair were first class. The facilities inside likewise and the peace and tranquility just what we hoped for with great views over the Forth and Leven Bay from rear garden.
Can’t praise it high enough. Thank you to all concerned.

We had a wonderful holiday at this property. The property is overlooking the sea and a golf course not to mention the beautiful gardens. The inside is gorgeous and decorated to a high standard. The kitchen is fully equipped and on arrival we found coffee, sugar, fresh milk and a lovely cake. The bedrooms and bathrooms were really good for people with mobility issues. They had everything needed. It is in a lovely area of Fife with lots of lovely villages to visit a short drive away. We cannot fault this holiday.

Overall a very enjoyable stay in a great part of the world. We will definitely be back

Customer Service - We felt that it would have been helpful to have more information on the services offered at the Paxton Centre eg Reiki and therapy classes.

Negatives are; the recliner - although comfortable for able bodied guests was found to be lacking for my wife who has mobility issues, perhaps a better quality chair with better support could be sought ? A second handrail in the shower would also be helpful. Finally, a minor point but I found it slightly irritating that I was asked to strip the beds at the end of our stay bearing in mind I have full time care responsibilities, surely this is a bit of an imposition.

What a beautiful place! We really appreciated the thought that had gone into making this a great break for disabled and abled people. My husband wasn't too well during our stay so we didn't get out and about as much as we'd hoped but nevertheless, it was comfortable and quiet with beautiful views so we could not have found a better place to relax.
The beds are amazing, so comfortable. My husband found the air mattress more comfortable than his bed at home! Lovely touches like cake, milk and good equipment such as cafetiere, steamer pans etc made it like home from home.
My dog Molly loved her morning walks on the beach - so lovely down there and so handy to get to. We didn't have to go far to find somewhere to visit - the Blacketyside farm shop and Silverburn Park up the road are both wheelchair friendly and serve great food.
The only slight downside we found was the TV in the bedroom - it's very small and a long way from the bed! I know the configuration of the room makes it difficult, and you don't go on holiday to watch TV, but people with health problems often spend time on bed rest and the TV is a bit of a lifeline. A more accessible TV would be much appreciated.
All in all, we had a lovely break, really appreciated the beautiful accommodation, the thought that had gone into planning the site and the wonderful surroundings. We will be back!




Martina Goodman ,The Homelands Team replied 248 days ago
Thank you for your lovely review of Keil Lodge. We are so glad that you found everything you required in the lodge and the profile bed was comfortable for your husband.

We have been several times to stay at Homelands and it is our favourite place to come for a break. The team is helpful and friendly, the accommodation is comfortable and spacious and the equipment makes the holiday as straightforward as possible. The views are superb and there are plenty of places to visit even with a wheelchair.

The weather is usually better than we have at home too!

We always have a great stay at Homelands which is why we return again and again. The accommodation is first class and provided everything we would have at home to meet my daughter’s needs. Staff are friendly and so helpful.

The area is beautiful and full of interesting places to visit - even on wet days!

Thanks for another great holiday in Keil

We loved our stay at Keil and felt well supported with the copious amount of information available to ease our stay. Lundin Links is a perfect location from which to explore the truly beautiful East Neuk of Fife and we made the best use of it with walks for me and the dogs and lunch with my partner. The house was set up to meet his needs perfectly. The house is equipped and furnished to the highest standard and the views out over the sea are outstanding. The cherry on the icing of the cake would be if the garden was more secure so the dogs could go out for a wander. We hope to come back before too long

We have stayed at homelands many times before but this time more poignant due to the different needs of the supported individual we were accompanying compared to our last visit,
Our thoughts and deliberations before booking were all unfounded due to the abundance of amenities, equipment, space and beauty of our accomodation, which in this instance was Keil,
Thankyou, thankyou homelands trust for providing such beautiful amenable accommodation for in our case, individuals, who would not otherwise be able to access such beautiful accomodation and surroundings without what is provided, we will be booking again without any hesitations,

Our second stay at this lovely lodge as we were also here in may 2023, we booked this stay when we got home, and we couldn’t have hoped for a better week in terms of the weather, despite the UK having had one if the wettest summers ever we had glorious sunshine every single day and enjoyed a day out at Scone Palace, a trip to Dundee a day at St Andrews trying to catch some of the dogs on the Scotties by the Sea trail and of course rush and chips at Anstruther followed by gelato at the parlour next door to the fish bar. All in all a great break for us all, in lovely accommodation with great wildlife that visits the garden, we even got to spot the resident woodpecker this visit which has been elusive on our previous stays. Thanks for having us

Homelands is a great place to stay. It caters for all disabilities. My daughter is severely disabled and everything was there that we needed. Loads of room to move about with a wheelchair. It was most definitely a stress free holiday. The view from the lodge was beautiful over looking the sea. The beach is great to take your dog over but it isint wheelchair accessible but further down in leven ( 5 min drive) there is a promenade to walk along and a beach cafe. Homelands is a great base to travel up the coast, Anstruther is a beautiful harbour village with great pubs, cafes, & fish n chips. Good free parking for disabled. Always wanted to go to Scotland and it didn't disapoint. Would love to go again. Please give Homelands a try it is an amazing place.

This was our 2nd stay at Homelands. The layout and equipment provided is perfect and met all accessibility needs. The only issue we had was upon arrival, there was a note to say the oven was broken. This took two days to fix and after a 10 hour car journey and an oven pizza we collected on the way, we were rather disappointed that we had to go back out again to find food. We will be visiting again at Christmas and now I’m slightly nervous about the oven. All in all we had a great holiday and really like the facilities. Would recommend to others.

We had an excellent stay and the facilities fit our needs perfectly.
From your list of Carers, all companies had no availability even requesting almost a year in advance.
Without the daily assistance from Gillian Lockart Companion Care, we would have had to cancel.
Perhaps the majority of your customers visit with their own carers but our priority was for Scottish Family and Friends to visit us since we can no longer stay overnight in their houses. Also, a break from regular carers is good for both.
If you need any further thoughts, please contact me.

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and our accommodation met your needs. Unfortunately there is a national shortage of carers over which Homelands have no control. We have listed all of the local care agencies on our list of carers which we update regularly. As you know we are a self catering operation where the majority of our guests come to stay with us with their families.

We have stayed at Homelands on many occasions and will keep returning because the facilities that are provided are just what we need to enjoy a family holiday. We have stayed in a few different houses and they are all of the same high standard. The fact that the accommodation is so well suited to our needs and so comfortable means that we can get on with enjoying all that the local area has to offer without having to worry about anything else. We will definitely be back!

This is our fourth visit to Homelands in 18months because we enjoy it so much. The accommodation is suitable for someone with even the most complex disability, everything is provided, it’s spacious with plenty of storage space. The thought and care that has gone in to these lodges is better than anywhere also I’ve found. We were lucky to look around one of the new lodges and it is stunning. Last but by no means least I must mention Kim, the Assistant Manager for whom nothing is too much trouble. Getting things just right for the visitors is her prime concern and she does it well and with a smile.
We’ll be back soon.

This was our second stay with Homelands (previously stayed in Cardy Lodge) and we were very happy that the layout is the same, appliances are easy to use and importantly the beds are very comfortable.
Of the lodges available we feel these original ones are most suited to us personally, as the rear garden offers in our opinion more privacy than the new lodges which look out over the refuse area and had at the time of our visit (may 2023) had no screening, which means as we went to empty our bins we were able to look into the rear garden of the new lodges and see people sat out in wheelchairs etc, whilst i agree Homelands is a disability focused facility and as such we are going to see wheelchairs, to us some privacy is important.
We have since returning home booked a 3rd stay, and will be returning to Keil in September 2023

The views are a sight to behold and the whole party enjoyed themselves.
I will definitely be returning in the future we had a look into the new houses which were just as nice as Kiel.

My husband has very progressive MS and we are at a point where we can no longer get on aeroplanes and boats. I needed to find somewhere to take him for his mental health more than anything and my expectations were modest it being a self contained unit in Fife.
From the moment we arrived I was blown away by the beautiful landscape and views over the golf course and to the sea beyond. Set in a beautiful residential area locals are friendly and considerate. On entering Kiel it was very spacious and well set out. Impressed by the laundry come utility room they had thought of everything. There was washing tabs for the dish washer and washing machine. The track in the bedroom and bathroom were terrific. We had lovely weather for April and went to St Andrews, Crail, Elie and Anstruther over 3 days. We had a lovely time and will definitely be booking again.

This was our eighth visit to Lundin Links and for us it feel like the start of spring after a long winter. The chalets are kept to a really high standard, the surrounding scenery is lovely with plenty to vist and everyone involved makes us feel welcome.

Our first family stay at Homelands Trust and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lovely setting, ample space in the lodge, very comfortable beds and pillows and best of all track hoists in the bedroom and wet room, which makes our lives a whole lot easier!
Would recommended to families who require wheelchair access and offer facilities to make your stay so pleasant.

First time staying here and I can't fault anything at all. From the cleanliness, comfort and having absolutely everything we needed. This was our first fully accessible comfortable holiday we have been on. I used to think "as long as we have a profiling bed and wide doors we'll get by" but we didn't just have to 'get by' on this getaway. We had everything we needed to make our time away stress free with no worries. The location was just so peaceful too. Waking up to views of the sea and greenery was so tranquil. My boy aged 8, who is fully wheelchair bound, was the most relaxed he's been in a long time. Even our 11 month old and 13 year old had the best time...only downfall we found was, 3 nights wasn't long enough so we will definitely be back for longer.

Thank you for having us. We stayed for 3 nights and were delighted with our trip. It’s so lovely to have a lodge that caters for 5 friends, two with disabilities and one with a dog. We’re planning a date for our return trip. The lodge has everything we wanted and more.

Our stay in Keil was wonderful.
The only thing missing was a clausomat loo for our disabled son.
I know there will be one available in one of the new lodges soon and we have booked that lodge for August. But it is the view from the Keil that we all, including the dog, just loved.

Hi Charlotte, for future reference we already feature Closomat toilets in our existing Cardy and Drummochy lodges, as you note we are adding a further one to our new Durham lodge opening very soon. All lodges have great views.

A perfect short break

My family has visited Homelands several times and we have now stayed in each property at least once. We have never been disappointed and our recent stay was no exception.
The property was spotlessly clean, with a good range of quality kitchen equipment. The beds are comfortable and the duvets very warm. Doorways are very wide and there is ample space to manoeuvre a wheelchair. All the aids we require were provided at no extra cost. The utility room is well equipped and we found that laundry dried quickly on the pulley overnight, with no need to use the tumble drier.
There is plenty of information available about local facilities and places to visit in the East Neuk. Some of the coastal villages are difficult for a wheelchair user, but St Andrews is much flatter and always worth a visit.
We look forward to returning and trying out the new properties currently under construction. (The ongoing construction works had no impact on our stay at all.)

Good afternoon Jillian, thank you for your great review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Homelands. You will be happy to know that two of our new Lodges Lundin and Largo both sleep 8 Lodges have separate baths in the downstairs wetroom with hoist facilities. We look forward to your next visit.

This was a free last minute break for me through the carers respitality programme - thank you so much to all involved especially Homelands team and Ami from the carers centre.

This was a fantastic place to recharge my batteries. If I am at home, I’m always worrying about what needs done round the house and garden and this break took that pressure off.

The Homeland’s team really have thought of everything and couldn’t have been more helpful - it was so refreshing to be able just to go somewhere without having to worry about accessibility.

This lodge is purpose built to accommodate people with an extensive range of abilities whilst maintaining a homely feel.

Although we did not use the upstairs part of the lodge, it does provide fantastic accommodation to allow people to have a lovely break together.

The Homeland’s team also contacted me in advance of my stay to check if there was any other equipment we needed for our stay. Again, this was very refreshing as we normally have to contact accommodation providers in advance to check out accessibility etc.

I was also able to take my two dogs with me to this lodge which was great as we don’t go anywhere without them.

I’m aware pets are not for everyone therefore, there are pet free lodges available.
Homelands.

The accommodation has lovely views across Lundin Links golf course to the sea and there are plenty of places to walk or wheel with the dogs.

We did not need to use the car all week.

We walked/wheeled all the way to Leven and enjoyed a lovely meal in the dog friendly Caledonian.

We also went to the Railway Inn in Lower Largo where we felt most welcome.

There is lots of information provided in the lodge regarding accessibility of local pubs, restaurants etc which was particularly helpful to us.

We will definitely go back to Homelands and will be recommending to our friends especially those who are wheelies!

A fine beautiful setting. The house was immaculately clean. The walls were so freshly painted maybe, anyway the look of the place seemed as it was when we first came here some years ago, well to Keil or another of the neighbouring properties. I think Keil is the best of the row for the view of the sea as well. A very good relaxing environment for me and my partner Janet Maclaren.

My partner has MS, and the result is that the joints of the bed frame creak very much when she is lying there and experiences spasms. Not a dramatic spasms visually but a temporary leg and back stiffening of the muscles, you wouldn't know it was happening except for thin intermittent bed hinge creaks that wake me up. Of course my partner is awake when she experiences them anyway.

The bed I know is a standard length. Janet is tall and has a longer bed at home. I've always noted this in reviews requested at other suitable accommodation venues, but without a response. I will have to continue making extra sure there is no pressure against the foot of the bed by raising her feet with pillows unless any alternative appears.

Lots of wi-fi problems unfortunately. The Keil access code was said to be wrong quite often, although it was put in correctly. Yhe mobile was a particular problem. Janets laptop was mostly ok with only a couple of resubmissions of the code.




Kim O'Brien - Assistant Manager replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and comments on your stay. We are terribly sorry that your sleep was affected due to the bed not being the required length and creaking. We do try very hard to provide equipment to suit as many needs as we can but also need to balance that with not having too many differences between the lodges as then we could not guarantee for example that you would always be able to book the one specific lodge with an extended length of bed if we were to have invested in one. We do try and monitor comments such as these to see if we need to change or add anything that would help a number of guests, but the length of the bed is rarely mentioned unfortunately. We are sorry that you found issues with the wifi also. We usually tend to find that turning the router on and off assists with this and provide a quick guide to doing this over by the television unit. We were delighted to have you stay with us and hope to see you again in the future. We really appreciate your comments on the decor and cleanliness as again, we do endeavour to try and keep the lodges looking as fresh as we can. Kind regards - The Homelands Team

This was our 3rd stay at Homelands in the space of a year as it is so perfect for us. The accommodation is so spacious and comes with everything we need and more. The staff are really friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. Furthermore, they are always willing to listen to advice and ideas for improvements that could be made. The view from the lodges is uplifting and East Fife is a beautiful area with plenty to see and do. Homelands is top of our accommodation list.

Although we did struggle to fit 6 people in- sofa bed a bit small

Dear Rachel, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate this. It was a pleasure to have you stay and we are glad that you had a relaxing time with us and the lodge suited your needs. We have noted your comment regarding the size of the sofa bed. We hope that we can welcome you back again in the future. Just for information, our new sleeps 6 lodges have three bedrooms and no sofa bed so you might find these more suitable for your party if you were to return. Thank you again. Kind Regards.
