Think stone walls, solid oak floors, Juliette balconies and the original roundel, all blended with modern comforts and generous social spaces. From here you’re within easy reach of Anstruther’s harbour, wildlife boat trips to the Isle of May (look out for puffins, seals and dolphins), and an excellent choice of restaurants, from award-winning fish and chips to Michelin-star dining. St Andrews, the world-famous Home of Golf, is around 9 miles away, with a wealth of other quality courses dotted nearby. Inside, the layout is made for relaxed gatherings. On the ground floor, a welcoming snug with log burner and comfy sofas is perfect for curling up after a day on the coast, while the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the house. Here you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen with all the mod cons you need, an extending dining table seating up to ten, and a further seating area arranged around an open fire – ideal for long, chatty evenings. French doors open out to the garden and patio, and a spiral staircase leads up to a mezzanine level that works brilliantly as a play or games area for children. A separate utility room with laundry facilities keeps life practical on longer stays. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, there’s plenty of flexibility for mixed groups. On the ground floor, one twin bedroom enjoys countryside views, while a king-size room overlooks the courtyard; these share a modern shower room with walk-in enclosure. Upstairs, there are two further twin bedrooms – one with countryside views and a Juliet balcony over the courtyard – as well as a family bathroom with both bath and separate walk-in shower. The master suite completes the picture, with a super king bed, Juliet balcony to the courtyard, additional countryside-facing window, ample storage and an en-suite shower room with walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Outside, a private garden and patio to the front of the steading provide space for alfresco meals and relaxing in the fresh air, while a shared courtyard sits to the rear. Please note the garden is not enclosed, so guests with small children or dogs will need to take extra care. Parking is straightforward, with two private spaces and one additional communal space available. A spacious, characterful East Neuk steading with stunning views and superb access to coastal walks, boat trips, great food and some of Fife’s best-loved golf courses – ideal for memorable stays with family or friends. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 3 pets total - Fee: GBP 20 - Service animals exempt from fees ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,927 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100750000/100746600/100746503/5321a948.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rosemount | Kilrenny Kilrenny - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=100746503&PinnedHotelID=100746503&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123250000/123250000/123249957/33eccbae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bonnington House | Elie Elie - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=123249957&PinnedHotelID=123249957&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=123623272&PinnedHotelID=123623272&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=123623272,100746503,123249957) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Checkin 16:00-23:45 ### Pets Pets are allowed for an extra charge of GBP 20 Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees 3 total pets Note from host: Dangerous animals not allowed. ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### Optional extras - Pet fee: GBP 20 - Service animals are exempt from fees - High chair fee: GBP 20 per stay The above list may not be comprehensive.
