Stylish fisherman's cottage in heart of pretty harbour village, pet-friendly.

The East Neuk of Fife stretches from St Andrews down a coastline peppered with small villages, full of character, which face across The Firth of Forth to East Lothian on the opposite side. A jumble of quaint colourful houses lead down narrow winding streets to line the harbours and rocky shores and their distinctive crow-stepped gables, fore stairs and red pantiles preserve the impression of their time as fishing villages that were totally dedicated to the sea. St Monans itself became one of Scotland's busiest fishing ports for many years but, from the mid 1800's the fleet dwindled and the village had to rely less on fishing and more on its heritage, capitalising on its preserved architecture and waterfront (that is still very much a working harbour today). The Neuk has an open plan living/dining/kitchen on the ground floor. Stairs lead to the shower-room and bedroom. The top floor provides the 2nd bedroom. The cottage is set back from the road providing an outdoor space for sitting.

Great stay.
Had a great time in a small fishing village. Great for walking, we had a dog. Only downside was Vrbo giving incorrect arrival information, which caused me to leave at 3am when i could have left home at a more respectable time.

Beautiful house in charming location.
We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that behind the house is an industrial unit which was noisy from 8am. The house is stylish and well equipped. It is a good base for exploring the area. We walked to Elie in one direction and Pittenweem in the other. We loved our fine dining lunch at Craig Millar’s Restaurant- at the West End of the village. The well-stocked shop and the great cafe opposite were also appreciated.

Lieber Steven!
Wir waren so gerne in deinem Fischerhaus und haben uns extrem wohl und sicher gefühlt. Vielen Dank für die liebevolle Ausstattung, die schönen warmen Betten, das gemütliche Bad und auch dafür, dass unsere Wohnung schnell warm wurde, wenn es draußen regnerisch und rauh war! Sehr genossen haben wir auch den wirklich kurzen Weg zum Hafen und natürlich unser Café schräg rüber! Nicht zu vergessen deine Fürsorge bei Fragen! Lieben Dank für die schöne Zeit bei dir!!! Mit lieben Grüßen aus Dessau - Uta und Astrid

The pictures do make it look a bit bigger than it is and I was expecting a small garden, I must have misread, could do with a cottage manual on arrival.

Relaxing break
Delightful cottage with everything you need for a chilled break on the coast. Steven was very helpful with questions. Location is quaint and great to reach other coastal towns. Lovely restaurants in Anstruthers and the doorstep. Just take good walking shoes and a jacket so the weather doesn’t stop you drinking up the area
