My friend and I were on vacation and we were so welcomed by the staff and the owners of the Elbow room. We loved the area and lovely town of Kirkcaldy. We hope to return on our next visit to Scotland.

It’s on a busy street so the traffic noise and conversations from bar customers on the sidewalk carries into the room. The walk-in shower was a nice surprise but the floor is very slippery. It needs a mat to stop a potential fall. There’s a nice free parking lot in the back but on the weekend when the restaurant and bar are busy, it gets full in the early evening.
