About this property

Charming Flat with Harbor View in Picturesque Fishing Village.

Great flat with wonderful views over the Firth of Forth and Anstruther Harbour. Anstruther is just 9 miles south of St. Andrews in the picturesque East Neuk of Fife. A beautiful coastal walk connects the fishing villages along the coastline. Anstruther is the largest of the five villages and the flat is located on the main street of town just steps from many great shops, pubs, and restaurants. The ferry to the Isle of May leaves from Anstruther Harbor. The island has a fascinating history and is a bird watcher's paradise. The East Neuk offers many historical places of interest as well as beautiful beaches and lots of outdoor activities.

The flat has 2 bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room so it can sleep up to 6 people maximum. Both the larger bedroom and the living room have outstanding views over the Firth of Forth and Anstruther harbor. The flat is part of a listed building rebuilt in 1835.

Keywords: Comfortable, spacious apartment with harbor and water views situated in a beautiful area of Fife, Scotland, just 9 miles south of St. Andrews. Anstruther is one of 5 picturesque fishing villages along this coastline.

Wonderful holiday in Anstruther

Shore Holidays is a delightful apartment, right on the harbour of Anstruther. It is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with all that we hoped for. Easy to walk to the Co-op and all the village attractions. This was our fourth stay, and we hated to leave. Highly recommend it!

Coastal haven

This was a return visit to the apartment after many years and although under different ownership it was even better than we remembered. Lovely flat in a great location with an amazing view over the harbour and beyond.

Perfect for graduation stay

We came for graduation and thoroughly enjoyed Anstruther and the flat. The flat was beautiful, roomy and very clean, and perfectly appointed for our stay. We would love to spend more time in the town, it has a long (ten centuries) interesting history and stunning sunsets and sunrises.

A perfect place to stay in Fife!

My husband and I enjoyed 5 perfect days in this delightful harbour-side flat. Although winds were blustering outside, we were cosy in this beautifully appointed, spacious apartment. The view of Anstruther Harbour and the Firth of Forth is lovely. This is our third stay and we have never been disappointed. We hated to leave, and hope to return soon.

Perefect location with plenty of space.

We stayed three nights in July. The is in the ideal location within very easy walking distance of all the shops, pubs, and restaurants. When we opened the door I was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of space we had. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining area, and a living room. The flat was well equipped in every way. The view over the marina and water is awesome. The street below is quite active during the day but settles down at bed time so we got plenty of sound sleep. I am very happy we chose this place to stay during our trip to see the Thursday first round of the 2018 British Open in Carnoustie.

Spacious, comfortable flat, great for our family of four.

We enjoyed our 5 nights at picturesque village. The restaurants were close and great food. Convenient bake shop downstairs as well. Sheena was easy to work with and very responsive. My husband said the master bedroom’s bed was the most comfortable he slept in for the whole trip! We were in UK for a month and stayed over 10 places on our road trip so that says a lot. Parking was easy for street stalls as well. Always found a spot close by. We had a great time and husband got on old course as a walk on last minute at St. Andrews which is close. Hint....get there really early. Opens 6am.

Nice sized flat in a peaceful seaside village with bus transportation very close. Relaxing.

We were so happy we chose this flat in Anstruther. It was peaceful and the town folk were very friendly. It is overlooking the harbor with a bus stop in front of the building for super easy access to St. Andrews. Sheena responded quickly and gave detailed instructions for parking and locating and entering the flat. She provided information for the operation of the flat and another for interesting things to do in the area, both of which were much appreciated. There are several tasty restaurants within a couple blocks walking distance. There is a butcher, baker, tea shop, coffee shop (serves up great coffee and breakfast) almost next door. This was a super place for some down time from a busy tour and we all wish we had booked several more days there.

First class accommodation

The flat was great- bright, spacious and stylish- with very comfy beds (something often overlooked in rented properties) and everything thoughtfully provided. The photos don’t really do it justice. Anstruther and East Neuk is a lovely part of the world which was unfortunately hit by freak arctic wind and sleet during our stay which limited our outdoor activities. No point complaining about the weather though !

Cosy inside with great view over the harbour

We have stayed in Sheena's flat several times and always enjoy our time there. For a winter visit it was beautifully clean and warm when we arrived, and appreciate the recent improvements - the new floor is attractive. For 2 couples it lacks a toilet independant from the bathroom. The view over the sea and harbour is the best feature and will bring me back again.

I was most impressed with the locality and the view,the bus stop right outside the door .

As I have a niece in Pittenweem and another has a caravan in silverdyke it was an ideal location for myself,my daughter and granddaughters to meet up for a wee family get together. The flat was more spacious than I thought and we had everything we needed. I did notice though there was no hairdryer but fortunately I has taken my own. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and it even has the famous chippie on the doorstep!!

Updated Historical Flat with North Sea View

Invited guests from England to stay with us and we all loved it. The beds were comfy, the pillows were the best in 6 months of traveling, the living room and master bedroom overlooked the harbor and North Sea. It is right in town, so shopping and dining are right there. The information from the owner about location was great and the flat had wonderful amenities; full kitchen with washing machine, nice size bath with tub, good size rooms with appropriate furniture and dining tables in kitchen and living area. Would happily stay again.

Great property, great location.

We had a lovely time in the well equipped flat. The mattresses were really comfortable. The views were great. The only downside is the lack of parking.

About the host

Your host

My husband and I live in Florida but I am from Scotland. We both love Scotland and purchased the flat so that we could have a place of our own when we visit family. We intend to spend a lot of time there after retirement.

Why they chose this property

We chose Anstruther because it is a very popular holiday destination that is not too far from my family. The area is very charming and beautiful and offers many amenities.

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy the coastal walk that connects the fishing villages and the top notch seafood restaurants and pubs in the area. We like being close to St. Andrews - my husband enjoys all the great golf courses within easy driving distance as well as the fun 9-hole course in Anstruther. Being close to St. Andrews and only an hour to Edinburgh is also a big plus. I also have to say the water and harbor views from the flat are wonderful.
