We had a lovely 4 nights at this very comfortable wee apartment. It's very central for amenities, parking is in a very narrow street but we always managed to get parked ok. Only drawback for us was the smell of food from the restaurant downstairs on the one night it was open during our stay - the extractor fan pipe seems to come out close to the bottom of the stairs and the smell drifted up to the front door and into the hallway - but thankfully not to the rest of the house. There are a lot of stairs, and the lighting is a bit of a challenge as it kept going off when we were halfway up the stairs! The apartment is very well equipped and extremely cosy and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Lovely restaurants just a few minutes walk away (we didn't try the one downstairs as it only opened on our last day and we'd plans already made) and a lovely pub for drinks just at the end of the road (The Ship Tavern). Highly recommend this lovely accommodation and Anstruther is a stunning place to visit.
