Excellent holiday cottageThe accommodation is on three levels with the living areas on the middle floor with excellent views over the harbour out to sea. Very well equipped. Comfortable sofas and beds. Can swim in the harbour and a two minute walk to the outside sea swimming tidal pool. Parking was good if couldn’t get in-front of the property could park a few hundred yards down the road. Lovely atmosphere in Anstruther in the evening (helped by outstanding weather)Only slight inconvenience was getting the keys back into the safe sometimes took along time to get them in without getting in the way of or closing. Would recommend to anyone. We went with three grown up children. Lots of golf within easy access
