This compact cottage is extremely well equipped, clean and in a great location. It’s down a quiet wynd with sea views from in front of the cottage, where we sat and ate our breakfast, watching the sea birds. The bed is very comfortable and the shower room accessible from both the bedroom and the hall, which is very convenient. The local pub is superb and all of the amenities of Anstruther are a short walk away. We’d definitely recommend the cottage and plan to return.
