This is the fourth time we have stayed at the flat during the Christmas period. It is just perfect as it is very cosy and the views are just fantastic. The location could not be better for spending time in Elie and the surrounding areas. We have so many lovely memories staying at this lovely flat. Whenever I see anything puffin related my mind goes straight to this lovely flat in Elie.

Relaxing stay in a flat in a great location at a reasonable price

Whilst I looked at accommodation on sea front, the cost was too much. This flat is a good price with in stones throw of beach and has lovely views of sea being 2 floors up.

Best place Scotland

This was by far the best flat I have ever. Answered all my questions and the flat was very roomy. I will for sure come back this summer with my stepdaughters and husband. People in the city were very friendly and answered my food questions and the awesome bakery highly recommend the best bread i ever had in the world.

Relaxing break in East Neuk of Fife

Flat has everything you need for a relaxing break. The location is perfect for exploring the east neuk and has the advantage of being close to a fine selection of golf courses. St Andrews is 40 minutes by bus. There is a magnificent beach with an opportunity to engage in a variety of water sports.. I would have no hesitation in recommending the flat as a perfect location for an enjoyable break

AMAZING TRIP TO ELIE SCOTLAND TO SEE FAMILY

My stay in the Queen's View Flat was just amazing! It is a gem of a flat with the perfect location as it is a few doors down from the local deli, bakery, bar, and chemist plus minimal steps to bus stops to take you to surrounding areas. Oh and the Elie Golf Course is in walking distance as well, but best of all is its just a few blocks from the Elie Beach!!! I am hoping to come back next summer when its warmer and will definitely book this place again. It is truely a home away from home with all its amenities, and the owners are just wonderful!!!

What a Gem

This is a lovely property and being on the second floor offers a view of the sea. It is based in a very quiet village and has a good bus route to get about. Great for commuting to some great locations like St Andrews, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, Edinburgh, Dundee. Elie has a lovely pub close by - Ship Inn run by lovely people and a lovely deli shop. Beaches are stunning, what more could you want for a relaxing time away.

Home from home

The flat is perfect. The owners have provided it with everything you could possibly need. The rooms are a good size and what I would call elegant and comfortable. The owners kept in touch before and during our stay. The flat is central to Elie with an excellent deli (warm bread at 8am on a Sunday morning.) Several small local shops all very friendly. Bus stop almost at your door. We didnt use the car the two weeks we stayed.Loved it.

Excellent flat in fantastic location

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful flat in Elie. The location is perfect for all the beautiful fishing villages and the Fife coastal path walk. The flat is just a few minutes walk from a bakers, a brilliant deli, a chemist and a newsagents. There are other small shops nearby too, perfect for buckets and spades for children etc. The beach is about 50metres away, and just a little further is the Ship Inn, great pub food with outdoor areas. Our check in process had a slight hitch due to us opening up the key locks in the wrong order, totally our mistake and very swiftly rectified. We have been to this flat twice now and certainly look forward to returning again some time in the future. It is equipped with everything you will need for your stay and with very helpful notes and instructions.

This property has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful and restful holiday.

Situated in one of the most picturesque and lovely scenic areas of East Fife is also a great attraction.
