This was my second stay at Fidra Cottage and it won't be my last! Grant and Anne have gone above and beyond to equip their cottage so well that it's a proper home from home.The place is spotlessly clean and having space in the car park right outside is a welcome bonus.The only slight downside I could mention is the lack of recycling facilities but I just saved mine up and popped round to the co-op before leaving Anstruther as they have a full range of recycling bins in their car park.For breakfast/brunch/lunch I would recommend The Giddy Gannet or Baern in St Monans and Bread & Butter Cafe in Anstruther. If you like cider, Aeble cider shop is a gem of a find!

Frida is lovelycosy,comfortable and very well equipped cottage in a great location near to town centre of Anstruther. It has on site parking and easy access to Fife Coastal Pathwith other lovely villages nearby.Anstruther is a lovely place with the marina in particular a must to visit, with lovely little shops and the Wee Chippy a gem serving the most amazing Fish Suppers , not to be missed. We had a great week exploring Anstruther and surrounding areas, and hopefully return in the not so distant future.Thank you to Anne and Grant for a very comfortable time in their cosy cottage and very thoughtful welcome pack on arrival.Elizabeth & Jim Glasgow
