Sleeping up to eight guests, it offers generous living areas, beautifully kept communal gardens and easy access to the East Neuk’s fishing villages and coastline. Wi-Fi is included, and there’s private parking for two cars plus visitor spaces. One well-behaved dog is welcome (terms and supplement apply). A welcoming reception hall leads into the ground floor living spaces. Double doors open to a spacious dual-aspect lounge, where large windows and doors onto the central gardens keep everything light and airy.

The dual-aspect kitchen/dining room is fitted in a classic shaker style with a broad breakfast bar and high stools, electric hob, oven, extractor, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and coffee machine. A glass dining table with eight contemporary chairs makes this a great space for long, lazy meals after a day exploring the East Neuk or playing golf. Off the kitchen, a handy utility room houses the washing machine, microwave and BBQ, with a door straight out to the central gardens. There’s also a contemporary ground-floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, plus a flexible study/bedroom 4, which can be used as a work space with day bed or made up as either a single or double (with two single duvets) depending on your group. Upstairs, the bedroom layout is ideal for mixed parties.

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.
