Excellent accommodation and good location for exploring area. Easy walk to Pittenweem and St Monans. Would recommend Clock Tower cafe in Pittenweem for coffee and light bites.

We had a relaxing break in a comfortable apartment, with everything we needed. The sea view was refreshing every morning. Outside parking got busy late afternoons, but we always managed to fine a space. Lots to do locally with quaint villages to explore.
