Excellent cottage with everything you need. It would be good if there was access to somewhere to dry laundry. The parking is really easy and very handy. Cottage is handy for local shops and places to eat. Would definitely recommend Rockies, Bread and Butter and of course the Anstruther Fish Bar. A drive to Elie is worth it for the deli and the amazing beach. We love Anstruther and would recommend this cottage and look forward to a return visit
