I have been going to Clarity House for a few years now to get my beauty treatments done. The therapists are always friendly, professional and experts at what they do. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The measures taken in light of Covid 19 to prioritize health and safety are reassuring

My friends from work and I booked both rooms for a staff night out. Keith who was working that evening was so accommodating to us all and gave us some helpful tips when needed! We will definitely be booking again to go back and I would highly recommend these escape rooms to others!! Keith was very welcoming, funny and provided a really enjoyable experience for us! The facility was kept nice and clean and the puzzles in the room were to a high standard. Thank you for having us!

The Healing Room Dunfermline

The Healing Room is a complementary therapy business in Dunfermline. The therapies on offer are: massage; hypnotherapy; reiki; meditation; and life coaching. This is a relatively new business and is very well reviewed. The therapy room is welcoming, cosy, peaceful and quiet. The business owner and therapist has a reputation for putting clients and ease and making their visit relaxed and enjoyable. The main focus of published reviews is comment on the extremely high quality massage on offer. The massage is a full-body hot oil massage, which is normally one-hour long, but thirty minute and ninety minute massages are also popular. If a client books a one-hour massage appointment, then the massage lasts for sixty minutes - not forty-five minutes, which is the case in most salons. There are hot shower facilities available. There is only one therapist, therefore only one client at any one time, which means visitors have the full care and attention of the therapist.

Reviewed By ScotHilton10 - Fife, United Kingdom

Love this place. I'm in my 60s, as is my husband, my daughters are in their early 30s & my Grandson in 3 & a half. We ALL go to the Ceramic Cafe regularly. Fantastic place for young families too. It's a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere, & a great mindful activity. The staff are friendly & helpful, & particularly good with very young children. Prices are very reasonable, & you can't not try the excellent cakes & coffee! Highly recommended!

Found this hidden gem while visiting Dunfermline abbey. Very informative museum reflecting the life of Andrew Carnegie. Great staff as well! Thank you for advising my wife on buying the proper Carnegie biography - she managed to finish the whole thing during our holidays and has become an expert on steel production in the process ;-)

Dunfermline Abbey and Palace

Dunfermline Abbey Nave is now open and we are delighted to welcome you back. Booking in advance is essential. Find out more and book at restarthistory.scot. Please note the palace remains closed at this time. Admire one of Scotland's most impressive medieval interiors and most important royal sites, founded as a priory in about 1080. Robert the Bruce was buried in the medieval choir, now beneath the Abbey church of 1821. St Margaret and David I are among a number of monarchs and other royalty laid to rest here. Charles I was born in the palace that grew up alongside the abbey.

We were very impressed by this place went not expecting too much as we know the palace was a ruin however the historic Scotland staff member really brought it to life. His knowledge and direction were superb. My daughter was given a quiz which kept her engaged while we were exploring. The nave of the abbey was beautiful, disappointing the the actual abbey was closed for winter so we were unable to visit the resting place of king Robert the Bruce we will definitely try and take a trip back at some point. There is a small museum just next to the abbey which is also worth a visit free entry and has a lovely tea room. Thumbs up from us!
