About this property
Stylish fisherman's cottage in heart of pretty harbour village, pet-friendly.
The East Neuk of Fife stretches from St Andrews down a coastline peppered with small villages, full of character, which face across The Firth of Forth to East Lothian on the opposite side. A jumble of quaint colourful houses lead down narrow winding streets to line the harbours and rocky shores and their distinctive crow-stepped gables, fore stairs and red pantiles preserve the impression of their time as fishing villages that were totally dedicated to the sea. St Monans itself became one of Scotland's busiest fishing ports for many years but, from the mid 1800's the fleet dwindled and the village had to rely less on fishing and more on its heritage, capitalising on its preserved architecture and waterfront (that is still very much a working harbour today). The Neuk has an open plan living/dining/kitchen on the ground floor. Stairs lead to the shower-room and bedroom. The top floor provides the 2nd bedroom. The cottage is set back from the road providing an outdoor space for sitting.

We loved our stay in St Monans and this property was the perfect spot. The kitchen worked well when we chose to eat in; we never were able to figure out how to operate the microwave, but the stove and oven worked fine for us. It was a bonus having the market next door and the Giddy Gannet across the street. We made use of the washing machine and were able to dry clothes on the rack over night. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom shower was very good. We enjoyed the eclectic decorating (I loved the tiles behind the cooktop!). The host was very responsive to questions.
A great place to stay - tidy, well-appointed and charming. While St. Monan's is a touch quiet the location worked perfectly for our trip. The Giddy Gannet across the street was a perfect start to our days.
Wonderful cottage, beautifully equipped and extremely comfortable. The town of St Monans is quiet, stunning and welcoming. A coffee and breakfast sandwich from the Giddy Gannet across the road and a walk around the harbor is an amazing way to kick start your morning. Steven is a brilliant host, friendly, super responsive very very helpful and does everything to ensure you feel right at home in his home.
Lovely stay at this cottage in S. Monans. Beautiful harbour and scenery. Walks right around St. Monans worth it..and saw quite a few hidden viewpoint gems.
Perfectly placed to enjoy all Sr. Monans has to offer, especially the nearby tidal pool and Giddy Gannet opposite. Sun shone every day, a real surprise for September 😍🙏
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, in particular walks along the coastal path, that were not too challenging. The accomodation was clean tidy and compact. The beds were comfortable and bedlinen, towels etc clean and of a good quality.
Great weekend break, nice simple clean accommodation. Could do with an outdoor light as very difficult to open door in the dark.
Overall comfortable & pleasant stay.
Lovely clean property in the centre of St Monans.We were lucky to experience sunny, dry weather and a garden space would have been ideal.To dsscribe the property as having a patio/ outdoor space is a wee bit misleading as it is a bench seat looking out onto the road, in full view of passers by.
A great place if you wish to walk along the costal areas, a great home as described, would book if this is what your after and good location for all areas
Had a great time in a small fishing village. Great for walking, we had a dog.
Only downside was Vrbo giving incorrect arrival information, which caused me to leave at 3am when i could have left home at a more respectable time.
Adorable property, in a beautiful location. It was very clean and the little cafe, Giddy Gannet, was a real treat. While the property has a washing machine as listed, it does not have a tumble dryer as listed, rather it is a drying rack. Noting this in case you need one as with this property being by the water (which is delightful!) it takes a while for the clothes to dry.
It was lovely only thing that was not so great was there was not a local pub !

Beautiful house in charming location.
We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that behind the house is an industrial unit which was noisy from 8am. The house is stylish and well equipped. It is a good base for exploring the area. We walked to Elie in one direction and Pittenweem in the other. We loved our fine dining lunch at Craig Millar’s Restaurant- at the West End of the village. The well-stocked shop and the great cafe opposite were also appreciated.
