Lovely house with great views.Bit of a walk into Anstruther but worth it for the restaurants and pubs. Shorter walk back after a few beers.

Home had been fully refurbished and was beautiful, with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout. A couple of teething issues, following renovation (as we were the first to stay there since the works, which could not have been predicted) were very quickly fixed by local professional trades and then there was no issues at all. It was just what we needed and a great place to stay for a quiet recharge with a local pub, harbour and tidal pool etc. All the home amenities you would need for a family / friends stay.
