The cottage had everything we needed and was very handy for the town centre where the locals were very welcoming. Pittenweem was a great base for visiting the other towns in this special part of Scotland. Peter the owner had given us recommendations for local restaurants and both the Dreel and Larachmohrwere excellent and great value. A real bonus was that nearly all the coffee shops and restaurants were dog friendly and being able to take them in with us ##### Ian C.

I was trying to think of something to write on how I felt about my stay. On entering this lovely cottage, it felt like, one big cosy, warm, comfortable, safe and secure hug. I needed to get away for a short break, I didn't know at the time when I booked this last minute, it turned out to be just what I needed and so much more. Elaine, the host was absolutely lovely, her enthusiasm, love of the cottage and very friendly village was totally contagious and understandable. I was really sad and really didn't want to leave but I am planning to return. for a break ##### TRACEY C.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison T. 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pittenweem Conservation Cottage An enjoyable stay despite terrible weather. The village is lovely. The cottage was comfortably furnished and the kitchen well equipped. The bedrooms were on the small side but overall a nice place to spend a few days. The host was very friendly and helpful. I found Vrbo systems unnecessarily complex and felt the organisation was only interested in selling more holidays and not in providing a good service to the customer. When I did manage to get through to an actual person he was very polite and helpful despite having to go through a great rigmarole before even asking what he could do to help. ##### Alison T. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise G. 10 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great wee cottage Cosy wee cottage close to the main road running through Pitenweem on the road to Anstruther. Good access to harbour just 4 or 5 streets away downhill. Lovely pop in antiques/junk emporium on the next road, right next to a gallery, fresh fishmonger at the end of the street. Narrow lane outside the house with no parking restrictions with two steep steps from the pavement up to the garden from the street and then into the cottage. For a small cottage it seemed to have anything you could possibly need, with sheltered outdoor seating area & BBQ. Compact bedrooms but not really lacking anything at all, spacious sitting room for 4. Personally found the bed a little small for 2of us, as both of them are up against walls and on one side so difficult to get out of for a nighttime pee without waking up the other half! Otherwise perfect, we’ll be back. ##### Louise G.
