Very peaceful stay in a lovely, clean, cosy cottage. Have always enjoyed the East Neuk and as usual we weren’t disappointed. Beautiful part of the country.
The place is amazing, but the village don't have a real grocery. So bring your food.

St Monans was the perfect location for our visit to old family haunts. The property was very cosy & comfortable with good access to walks & amenities. Everything provided for our comfort. Easy drive to neighbouring villages, excellent farm shop & welcoming coffee shop.This was a returning visit to a different property.
