About The Ship Inn
Sea views set The Ship Inn apart from most small hotels in Leven, with just six rooms tucked above a working pub on The Toft. Each room comes with an en-suite bathroom and free WiFi, plus the option of drinks brought to the room, making it a straightforward base for a night or two on the Fife coast.
Downstairs, the inn runs its own restaurant, bar and snack bar, with breakfast, packed lunches and kids' meals all catered for, and a garden with outdoor seating for warmer days. A 24 hour reception means arrival times are flexible, and staff can point guests towards golf, fishing, cycling and walking routes in the surrounding area, along with watersports and further pubs and restaurants nearby.
Leven itself is well placed for exploring the Fife coastline, with Dundee Airport within reach for those flying in, and Markinch around 14.5 miles away by road. It suits guests after a simple, unfussy stay close to the water rather than a large-scale hotel experience.
