St Andrews

Pittenweem is the working heart of the East Neuk fishing ports, and St Andrews sits directly on its harbour front. This former fisherman's cottage, rebuilt after the First World War, has been restored as a luxury self-catering property while keeping its character intact. The old stone walls remain, and in the courtyard garden you can still see the original hooks where nets were hung to dry—now a peaceful spot for sitting out with views across the water.

Both bedrooms are on the ground floor, each with a double or zip-and-link single beds and its own shower room. Upstairs is a large open-plan living space with a woodburner, Smart TV and surround sound, plus a well-equipped kitchen where you can cook properly. There's a separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; logs for the fire are provided too. An enclosed courtyard with garden furniture offers outdoor space, and there's a bike store if you're exploring the coast on two wheels. Parking is on the road outside. The property is no-smoking throughout.

This location suits anyone drawn to working harbours, coastal walks and the particular character of an old fishing village. Divers, golfers and families exploring the East Neuk will find themselves well placed, and the cottage itself is spacious enough that four people can spread out comfortably.
