Ochil Villa B&B, Fife, Scotland

We hope you will visit our accommodation at Ochil Villa B&B in Central Fife Scotland to relish our home baked breads and largely organic breakfasts, whether meaty, vegan or vegetarian.

We are located in Freuchie, in the beautiful farmland of North East Fife two miles from Falkland Palace.

We are lucky in Fife to have so many quality food producers and their products feature seasonally in our breakfasts.

These include Puddlebub sausages, raspberries & strawberries from Muddy Boots Farm Shop, Organic eggs from Pillars of Hercules. Our own homemade breads and oatcakes go perfectly with the local jams, cheeses and honeys.

The wholemeal bread, soda bread and Scottish baps are made with organic flour. The oatmeal for our oatcakes and porridge is from Hogarth's Mill in Kelso, delicious, fairly local, but not organic.

If you would like to bake the bread or rolls for your breakfast, let me know when you book, it's fun. Don't worry, no need to get up at dawn!

We ask people not to smoke on our premises.

How does Ochil Villa B&B minimise its impact on the environment and contribute to a sense of place?

To minimise energy draw, the fridges are A rated. They have separate recycling bins for glass, metal, paper/card, landfill, and compostable waste. They use bulk dispensers of environmentally friendly soaps and shampoos. All cleaning products are eco friendly as well. They serve local bacon, sausages, eggs and vegetables and in the summer, local soft fruits. Milk and butter comes from a family dairy in central Scotland. Oatmeal and porridge oats are from Kelso. When local products are not available, they are usually fair trade, eg. tea and coffee. The owners encourage guests to arrive car-free, whether it be by public transport, by cycle or on foot to lessen the impacts of traffic congestion.
