Pittenweem is a charming fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife.

Many of the charming houses around the harbour are of traditional Fife design with red pantile or grey-slate roofs with crow-step gables and have been restored by the National Trust for Scotland.
There is seasonal crazy golf near the beautiful refurbished Pittenweem Tidal pool with views towards the Bass Rock and the Isle of May beyond.

Nice cottage…..nothing wrong with it but we would choose a different location in the future Dining table and chairs uncomfortable to sit on , maybe a few more items eg cutlery and a blind at the kitchen window would finish it off
