A really lovely property with a fabulous view. This is now our 4th Year booking Low Tide where it's location is hard to beat. Property has everything you require including a washing machine, oven and hob, microwave and all the pots, pans utensils etc required should you want to cook and eat in instead of venturing out. The property has cosy living room looking out into the water with patio doors leading out to the garden. We have spent many an hour sitting with a glass of wine watching the world go by, or on a wild night the waves crashing over the wall at the bottom of the garden.The property is less than 10 minutes walk from Anstruther town centre where there are numerous chippies and places to eat to suit everyone. There's a large co-op 15 minutes walk that has everything you require for a holiday break. We will look to book another long weekend next year staying a t Low Tide

Superb hideaway in a blissful location overlooking the sea. Apartment is small but perfectly coordinated, designed to incorporate everything a couple (+ dog!) could need for both comfort and practicality. We were always warm, slept well in the cosy bed and appreciated the spacious bathroom!Shops, cafes, pubs etc are just a short stroll up the road in Anstruther with its delightful and picturesque harbour. A large Coop is situated north on the edge of the town.Location on the Fife coastal trail gives the opportunity to explore beautiful sea/harbour villages - walk west to Pittenweem, St Monans etc, and east to Crail, both directions equally enjoyable The many interpretation boards along the route give an insight into the history & heritage of the area.Overall an amazing holiday with consecutive days of sunshine - perfect cool walking conditions.Thank you so much! 😊

Cottage well kitted out, cosy and great location,fabulous views and love Anstruther .The living room could be more comfy if there was a small couch for tv watching.Slight doggy smell on arrival but managed to eliminate it to some extent.Bed comfy and cosy.Made decision to use the ‘back’:/french door as tricky when tallish due to step down on entering main door.Found a space along James street which was very handy.Over all good stay and we had fab weather too.
