Tucked away in a quiet corner of St Monans, this traditional fisherman’s cottage has been beautifully modernised to a high standard, pairing fresh, bright interiors with lovely SEA VIEWS and a peaceful, south-facing patio. Wake up to the sound of the waves and seabirds, then wander a few steps to join the Fife Coastal Path or stroll along to one of Fife’s finest seafood restaurants, Craig Millar @ 16 West End – all just moments from your front door. With off-road parking a short distance up from the cottage, arriving and heading out to explore the East Neuk and nearby St Andrews is refreshingly simple. Inside, the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area feels cosy yet airy, with two comfy sofas (one a sofa bed for a guest not wanting to share. The maximum occupancy of the property must not exceed 2 people.) A gas coal-effect fire, TV with Freeview and soft lighting for relaxed evenings in. The well-equipped kitchen is neatly laid out with hob, oven, cooker hood and dishwasher, plus a small dining table for two positioned to catch the light and partial sea views. A door leads straight out to the enclosed, south-facing patio – perfect for morning coffee, a glass of wine at sunset or a quiet read with the sea in sight. Upstairs, a charming double bedroom with beamed ceiling makes the most of those wonderful sea views, so you can fall asleep and wake up with the coast as your backdrop. There’s a double bed with bedside tables and lamps, a built-in cupboard with drawers, TV and even an electric blanket for extra comfort on cooler nights. A compact, fully tiled shower room with space-saving enclosure, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail completes the first floor. Outside, the enclosed rear patio offers bench seating, table and chairs, plus access to a small shed housing a tabletop freezer.

Elie and Earlsferry are two of the most picturesque towns in the East Neuk with a beautiful long sandy beach and a pretty little harbour. The golf links are the feature that joins the beautiful villages of Earlsferry and Elie and the local population are justifiably proud of their ancient course. The course has evolved over the centuries from a simple links golfing tract in the 1500s to the fine 18 hole course it is today. Elie town centre has lots of little shops ranging from the Elie Deli, Carol's Ice Cream Shop and the pharmacy, all the way to The Ship by the Harbour with its beach cricket and good food. Everything in Elie and Earlsferry is within walking distance, be it the Elie Ness Lighthouse, the beaches, the Links golf course and many more facilities. The bus routes are all frequent and easy to use. Taxis are available to the surrounding towns and St Andrews. 15 mins walk to Elie town centre, 5 mins walk to Elie Golf Course and less than 1 mins walk to the long, sandy Elie & Earlsferry Beach. Supermarket available in Anstruther, but lots of small local shops in Elie will provide most of what you will need.
