Cosy, spotlessly clean house with a twinkling Christmas tree to welcome us! Other thoughtful touches were a supply of tea and coffee with tasty shortbread and Santa napkins- thank you! With wonderful coastal walks our two dachshunds were also delighted with their stay.
Just got back from a lovely long weekend. House was very clean but needed upgrades. Such a lovely place and ideal for the kids with the tennis courts out the backSt Monans is a lovely village but missing a pub

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you made the most of your time whilst here. The Bowling Green does open at weekends for locals and visitors, sometimes it has a quiz night, but there is no pub in the village any more. There are a couple in Pittenweem and more in Anstruther and Crail, and the local bus service is really handy for getting people home again. We hope you get a chance to return in the future for another short stay.
This was a lovely wee house to stay in for exploring the East Neuk. We spent a week here and found it was a great central location. House was pretty comfortable and had pretty much everything we could have required. The only thing letting it down was that although the floors had been swept/vacuumed, they hadn't been mopped very well as our bare feet became pretty grubby after walking around on them. The duvets were also quite thick, so access to thinner summer alternatives would have been handy too. These points didn't detract too much from our stay though and we would stay here again.
The property is spotless although a dated feel inside. The log fire is great. Handy having dishwasher and washing machine. St Monans is stunning and it’s an easy, beautiful walk to Pittenweem. Careful about where you park, if you park behind the house you run the risk of a neighbour parking across your rear in a show of? Annoyance? Aggression? Arrogance? Who knows?!!!
