A cosy cottage tucked away but close to the beach.
A cosy cottage tucked away but close to the beach. Really well set-up with everything you would need. We had fine weather but the nights were cold outside, but the heating was excellent and the wood-burning stove added to the cosy atmosphere. I liked the fact that it has a private garden too. I definitely recommend this property.
A great base for a two week stay in the east Neuk of Fife. Fig cottage is a lovely traditional cottage with a fresh and contemporary interior. Perfect for my husband and I and enough space to have friends and family stay over for a few days. The cottage is well equipped, has a spacious garden and is extremely close to the beach.
It said in the right up about a modern twist,unfortunately we couldn't find anything with a modern twist.The settee and chair had both seen better days,the parking was ridiculous and unfortunately the cottage was next to a building site the weather was good though.

I'm sorry that you didn't appreciate the living/kitchen/dining space that has been opened up by the owners in a modern way.
I can't agree with the comments regarding the living room furniture - I was sitting there today with the owners!
The house is not listed as having private parking.
The nearby property that is being worked on is close to completion and hardly manifests as a "building site". We have no control over building works on neighbouring properties.
Lovely cottage, bright, nice decor, great secure garden and great location, 30 seconds from the amazing Elie beach and just behind The Ship Inn! Also lovely and quiet. One minor suggestion would be if there was a small welcome pack of some basic items. It’s always a nice touch eg enough tea bags, sachets of coffee, pint of milk just for when guest first arrive. Oh and some salt and pepper would have been good. Apart from that, would highly recommend.
The perfect location for a sporty family. A short walk to the sailing club and a 2 minute drive to golf and tennis. Great to be so near the Ship Inn too!
Lovely modern space which has everything you could need. Brilliant location a few metres to the beach which was great for our dog walks. Great to have an enclosed and sunny garden too.
The property and garden were well-maintained, and the accommodation was bright and comfortable. The location is excellent, close to the beach and shops.
