Coastal View is a stylish first-floor apartment in the historic fishing village of St Monans, perfectly placed just beyond the renowned Craig Millar seafood restaurant. Large front windows frame sweeping views across the Firth of Forth, so you can sit back in the lounge and watch the light move over the water – a lovely backdrop for coastal breaks in the East Neuk. Inside, a short staircase leads up to a welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring and useful storage. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room feels bright and contemporary, with a three-seater sofa and two-seater sofa bed, coordinated furnishings, TV and a dining table for four set by the windows to make the most of those sea views. The modern fitted kitchen keeps self-catering simple, with hob, oven, extractor, washing machine, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and microwave all neatly built in. The bedroom is a calm, comfortable king-size room positioned to the front, with wooden floor, fitted wardrobes and a built-in dressing desk with chair – ideal for getting ready for dinner or catching up on emails. A luxury fully tiled shower room with enclosure, wash hand basin and WC completes the apartment. With Wi-Fi, a flexible sleeping arrangement for up to two occasional extra guests on the lounge sofa bed, and easy access to the coastal path, nearby villages and local seafood spots, Coastal View works beautifully for couples, solo guests, walkers and golfers heading to nearby courses and St Andrews. Parking for one car is generally available opposite the garages in front of the flat, on a first come, first served basis.

St Monans is one of the East Neuk’s most characterful fishing villages, wrapped around a traditional harbour and lined with white washed cottages and narrow lanes that lead down to the sea. Once a busy fishing and boat building port, it is now a peaceful coastal escape where you can watch the tides roll in, see working creel boats in the harbour and enjoy wide views across the Firth of Forth towards the Bass Rock and the Isle of May. The village sits directly on the Fife Coastal Path, with beautiful walks west towards Elie and east through Pittenweem and Anstruther. Along the way you pass St Monans Parish Church set dramatically by the water, the old windmill and salt pans, the restored tidal pool and the clifftop ruins of Newark Castle, making this a lovely area to explore on foot at a relaxed pace. Food and drink are a real highlight, with local seafood, cafés and farm produce available in and around the village, as well as nearby Bowhouse Market on selected weekends. Everyday essentials can be picked up locally or in neighbouring Anstruther, while golf enthusiasts have classic links courses at Elie, Anstruther and St Andrews within easy reach. St Monans is around twenty minutes by car from St Andrews, and regular bus routes run through the East Neuk, so getting around the coast is simple and convenient.
