About this property

Cardy - sleeps 6 guests in 2 bedrooms

  • Homelands is a charitable trust which provides accessible luxury self catering accommodation in 9 purpose built lodges (Massney, Cardy, Keil, Drummochy, Selkirk, Largo, Lundin, Durham and Emsdorf). The lodges are situated in the picturesque village of Lundin Links overlooking Lundin Links Golf course with open views to Edinburgh over the Firth of Forth.

    Lundin Links sits just 12 miles from St Andrews, the home of golf, and a short distance from the East Neuk's rugged coastline and its character filled fishing villages such as Crail, Anstruther, and Pitenweem. Lower Largo and Lundin Links themselves are famed for their links to the original Robinson Crusoe (Alexander Selkirk) whose birthplace in Lower Largo is a short distance from the Lodge. The village features a bar, restaurant, sports club (including tennis courts) and a small parade of shops including pharmacy, butchers, bakers, post office, and general store all within a short distance of the lodges.

    The region is famed for its outdoor sports/activities, water sports, history and fresh produce / sea food; served in many of the local restaurants which range from Michelin Starred to world famous and favoured by Royals fish and chips in Anstruther.

    Further afield we are an hour from Edinburgh (Scotland's Capital City) and Dundee which houses the Discovery museum and V&A Dundee, Scotland’s first design museum

    The lodges have been specifically designed with accessibility in mind and a wealth of features have been incorporated into the designs to ensure they are as accessible as possible, including specialist support equipment/ facilities such as ceiling tracking hoists, a full spacious wetroom, profiling beds, airflow mattress, Clos-o-Mat toilet (depending upon lodge) and riser/recliner chair. We can also provide a range of specialist equipment free of charge on request such as mobile hoists, various shower chairs, a shower trolley, and equipment for people who have a hearing loss. These specialist items must be booked in advance and are allocated on a first come first served basis. For more information about what we provide please get in touch, our helpful staff will happily discuss your requirements.

Fantastic long weekend

Brilliant place with great facilities. The only negative was that 2 of the underfloor heating thermostats were set at 35C, which took us a while to work out why it was so hot!

Summer Holiday 2025

This was our 4th time at Homelands and we just love the place. Accommodation is excellent and all of our needs have always been catered for. Helen and the team are very helpful and are always approachable. Cardy Lodge is always in great condition and the area surrounding is kept in very good condition. We have already booked our summer holiday at Homelands for 2026 and thoroughly recommend others to do the same. Such a fabulous place for a break.

2nd stay in Cardy, it’s ideal for our needs and in a fairly good location for exploring. One small gripe, the water to the bath upstairs never got better than warm

Perfect A home from home

I cannot recommend this place enough. You have thought of everything. My stepdaughter is a permanent wheelchair user and it was perfect for her to have an inclusive holiday with our friends. The boys (4 and 5) loved the beach and the play park. We all enjoyed walking to the farm shop with the dogs. There are also lots of activities nog far from Homelands. We enjoyed the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. We hope to come back to explore others.

Worth every penny!!!!

My first visit to Homeland lodges , and we really enjoyed our stay. The lodges had everything we needed to allow my dad to holiday as he uses a wheelchair. The facilities and equipment were all in working order and a folder explaining how every gadget in the lodge works, very useful. The location is stunning and the views wonderful. Staff are friendly and on arrival you get a welcome pack coffee/ tea and cake. I had looked for a few weeks for a holiday company that could provide equipment for people with disabilities, and this company was the best one. I will be definitely be telling everyone about it, and look forward to our next visit .

Lovely

We had a lovely 4 night stay. The accommodation was exactly as described with everything we needed. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom were perfect for our daughter who has high standards! Seriously couldn't find fault with anything. We rated customer service 5 but in reality we didn't see anyone - because we didn't need to. Sure it would have been a 5 though if we had. Thank you we will almost certainly be back

Our stay at Homelands

We found our stay at Homelands to be everything we hoped it would be and more. The accommodation was excellent and the views spectacular. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! There was also a feeling of calmness and tranquility which was just what we all needed. The community cafe was also an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend Homelands to others and plan to return in the future.

The Lodge was fantastic, it had everything that you could possibly need. My Dad who is wheelchair bound was blown away by how well equipped and purpose built the lodge was and the ease of access across the whole site. Would definitely be looking to return health permitting.

Just what we were looking for

This was our first visit to Homelands, Cardy, and what a find. It’s exactly what we were looking for in a holiday .Great facilities , spotlessly clean and in beautiful surroundings. My husband is a full time wheelchair user following a severe stroke and the chalet was ideal. It had everything we needed and my husband felt very much at home. It’s spacious enabling him to move about freely m. The large entrance allowed plenty of room to remove and store the power pack for his chair as well as remove and hang up wet coats and wheelchair cape as we had a few very wet days. We have an electric car and I was delighted that the chalet had its own charging point as well as one further one at the Paxton Centre next door. We had a lovely view from Cardy and look forward to coming back in August to enjoy the scenery and being able to sit in the well kept garden.

Home from home

2 carers supported a lady on a weeks holiday. The accommodation was brilliant with everything we required and more. The equipement was all saftey tested and within date . The rooms were very spacious and the beds vey comfy. We had brought supplies with us but the little touches like washing up liquid, a few dishwasher and washing machine tablets was a nice touch and handy if you forget anything. Plenty of spare bedding and towels. The utility with washer and dryer etc was a great help daily to keep everything fresh. We loved it. We will be rexcomensing to friends and colleagues and I am.sure we will be back again soon as esay reach from where we live and close by places of interest.

Scottish break

Excellent venue. If I have to pick fault bathroom ceiling a little low for hoisting when using peristeen system. A little isolated ( if you have good rapport with council could do with crossing to get to local restaurants and pub)very fast road in a wheelchair

A lovely stay in a lovely place

We really loved our time at Homelands and Cardy made us feel like we were in a home from home. The accessibility was excellent and my husband felt seen and recognised which was really nice to see. The location was gorgeous, a lovely sea view from the living room area. The gardens were immaculate and full of native flowers and plants. The furniture was comfortable and smart and some real thought had been put in to what was needed. There were even cookbooks! The beds were comfy and and the toilet and wet room was easy to use and spacious. We utilised the community cafe (open mon/tues 11-2pm) and found such a friendly bunch of people and lovely food too -all cooked and manned by volunteers. We will be back!

A peaceful Stay

This is the first time we have used Homelands and what an excellent find. My husband has mobility issues and Cardy lodge had everything we needed to keep him safe but mobile. There is plenty of room downstairs which enabled him to use his rollator, plenty of handgrips in the bathrooms, and plenty of extra equipment available if needed. We went to their community cafe, where we had lovely soup and sandwiches. Everyone working in the cafe were volunteers and were so welcoming and friendly. There are lots of walks from Honelands and lots of lovely places to visit a short drive away. We will definitely be back.

2nd Trip to Homelands

Our 2nd visit to Homelands and it did not disappoint. Great location, immaculate lodge with all the facilities one could ask for. Complementary tea, coffee, milk and cake very much appreciated. Made use of the Paxton Centre for a toastie on the Tuesday which was nice and the ladies are lovely. Didn’t have any engagement with the Homelands staff which is fine as it is a self-catering break. The lodge has everything required. The hospital bed with rails was excellent Check-out time on par with hotels (10:30) but was a wee bit rushed getting all things together - providing care, stripping beds and taking rubbish out to bins etc. Just need to be more organised next time

Wow Wow Cardy Homelands

Excellent service from booking to leave. My mum took a stroke Jan 2021 . This was her first holiday and certainly won't be her last. Homelands is definitely a home from home for disabled people. All equipment was provided second to none place was spotless and little cake on arrival perfect. The view and facilities we had in the lodge where amazing as was the staff. Finally all I can comment is can't wait to book again next month for next week. We all loved it all 6 of us and all our family whom live in fife. We even got chatting to our homelands neighbours whom agreeded best place around

Summer vacation

Another lovely holiday at Homeland's Trust, Lundin Links, Fife. The Cardy house is everything you would want for a home from home holiday, comfortable, accessible for less able son who relies on a wheelchair and fabulous views! My only critic is something I've said before, the accessible downstairs wet room needs a thorough deep clean and the toiletry trolley badly needs replaced. Having stayed in Lundin, one of the newer homes you quickly realise that the original homes are 'tired'. I'm sure there will be something in the pipeline to bring the original 4 houses up to par. However, if you haven't stayed in one of the new homes, Cardy, as will the other original homes, be a super place to unwind, relax and just enjoy with everything you need from a home away from home.

Fantastic adapted accommodation - really well thought out.

This accomodation was a breath of fresh air, after numerous stays at places that claimed to be accessible . Large spaces and laminate floors downstairs meant independent movement around the space in the electric wheelchair was possible. A large and thoughtfully equipped wet room, including a closomat, meant I could support my husband having a shower with ease. Our bedroom with easy-to- move beds meant we could make the room suit us - and the airflow profiling bed was the best we have experienced away from home. ( no crisp packet noises from the mattress ). With hoist in the bedroom and wet room, and additional little touches such as nappy bags and a toilet riser, we were very impressed. The carpeted upstairs room was very comfortable for our friends and the well equipped kitchen and utility room ( washer and dryer) served us well. What a shame that Homelands Trust couldn’t work similar wonders with the weather!
