The cottage is filled with character and charm and boasts wonderful original features but still provides all of the home comforts you might need. The ground floor of the cottage provides a lovely characterful living room which leads to a brand new fitted kitchen and separate dining area. Beyond the kitchen there is a further comfortable "Snug" for relaxation and television viewing. Also on the ground floor there is a double bedroom and a generous family bathroom complete with "slipper" bath and a separate walk-in shower. There is a separate cloakroom/toilet on the ground floor and a rear porch which leads to a beautiful south facing outside space for alfresco dining. Upstairs there are two further bedrooms one double and one twin. There is parking for two cars. St Christopher's provides a wonderful base for exploring the East Neuk in spring or summer or equally as a cosy hideaway for autumn or winter breaks.

The cottage was cozy and comfy and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and we loved spending time in the kitchen diner and the outside patio. This lovely home from home is perfectly placed for the Fife Coastal Walk and the tidal pool at Cellardyke. It’s also only a short walk to the traditional pub at the Golf Hotel too!

The house was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Only negative comment would be that the bath towels are not very absorbent. Being the summertime, we were able to hang them outside to dry each day but this would be a problem in the winter. ##### Iain T.
