Rockslea is a wonderful cottage, situated on the seafront of St Monin's. The property is presented to very high standard, is modern and fully equipped for all your needs on a short break. The property had a high- standard of cleanliness throughout and was cosy and welcoming. The views from the property are gorgeous, looking out over the bay. We were treated to dolphins and a huge array of seabirds. The property sits on the fife coastal path with Elie and Pitenweem only a short walk away, although bracing, we had a few lovely walks and tasty eats.We had a really wonderful stay and would highly recommend the property.

It is always such a pleasure to return to Rockslea. The hosts are great communicators, very welcoming and always happy to help. The house occupies an outstanding location and is fantastically well equipped, maintained and spotlessly clean. The bedroom dormer with armchair is a perfect reading nook with a beautiful panoramic view.You can dine at a couple of excellent restaurants and walk the glorious Fife Coastal Path. You’ll be lulled to sleep by the sound of the sea…..
