The modern shower room has a walk in shower with rainfall head and handheld shower. Parking is available on street.

Wonderful holiday cottage in a beautiful location
The property was just perfect in an ideal location. It was as described and very well equipped. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog, Lockie to run about in.Pittenweem is a lovely coastal village with lots of points of interest within. It’s ideally situated for day trips to other coastal villages in the surrounding area.All in all, a perfect break.

Relaxing and peaceful!
The home was a perfect size for my family. My husband and I brought our 2 year old and having an outdoor space for him to run off energy was great! They had every amenity we needed and even provided an app that helped us navigate the town and things to do around the town. After a long week of on the go this cottage combined with the quaint town of Pittenweem was the perfect ending to our vacation!
