Such an amazing house in such a fabulous location, we had a great stay with our family in Pitenweem and East Neuk. There's everything you need in the house which is very well decorated and spotless, and the hosts are very informative and helpful. Right by the harbour, you can watch all the fishing activity and eat in the excellent Dory restaurant (book early). Kids loved the sweet/ice cream shop and the tidal pool and they even saw a whale pod!!A short walk along the scenic coastal path, Anstruther has the fantastic fish bar and great bread and bottle shop for excellent coffee and beer, we also visited the family owned Haven in cellardyke for delicious home cooked food, the harbour cafe in Crail with delicious crab and scones, the kinneucher Inn for gastro pub fayre and the West end bar in Pitenweem for the football world cup. Everywhere was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We even went to the summer solstice musical celebration at the priory and church which was lovely. Local kippers and scotch pies are a must and we can't wait to come back to try the fudge doughnuts!

The house was perfect for our family gathering. It had everything we needed to cook family meals and a lovely big sitting room to watch TV and play games together. Nicely situated to do the coastal walks to Anstruther and St Monan. Also to visit St Andrews and the V&A museum in Dundee.
