Stylish fisherman's cottage in heart of pretty harbour village, pet-friendly.
The East Neuk of Fife stretches from St Andrews down a coastline peppered with small villages, full of character, which face across The Firth of Forth to East Lothian on the opposite side. A jumble of quaint colourful houses lead down narrow winding streets to line the harbours and rocky shores and their distinctive crow-stepped gables, fore stairs and red pantiles preserve the impression of their time as fishing villages that were totally dedicated to the sea. St Monans itself became one of Scotland's busiest fishing ports for many years but, from the mid 1800's the fleet dwindled and the village had to rely less on fishing and more on its heritage, capitalising on its preserved architecture and waterfront (that is still very much a working harbour today). The Neuk has an open plan living/dining/kitchen on the ground floor. Stairs lead to the shower-room and bedroom. The top floor provides the 2nd bedroom. The cottage is set back from the road providing an outdoor space for sitting.

Great weekend break, nice simple clean accommodation. Could do with an outdoor light as very difficult to open door in the dark.
Overall comfortable & pleasant stay.
Perfectly placed to enjoy all Sr. Monans has to offer, especially the nearby tidal pool and Giddy Gannet opposite. Sun shone every day, a real surprise for September 😍🙏
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, in particular walks along the coastal path, that were not too challenging. The accomodation was clean tidy and compact. The beds were comfortable and bedlinen, towels etc clean and of a good quality.
A great place if you wish to walk along the costal areas, a great home as described, would book if this is what your after and good location for all areas
Wir waren so gerne in deinem Fischerhaus und haben uns extrem wohl und sicher gefühlt. Vielen Dank für die liebevolle Ausstattung, die schönen warmen Betten, das gemütliche Bad und auch dafür, dass unsere Wohnung schnell warm wurde, wenn es draußen regnerisch und rauh war!
Sehr genossen haben wir auch den wirklich kurzen Weg zum Hafen und natürlich unser Café schräg rüber! Nicht zu vergessen deine Fürsorge bei Fragen!
Lieben Dank für die schöne Zeit bei dir!!!
Mit lieben Grüßen aus Dessau - Uta und Astrid
Lovely stay at this cottage in S. Monans. Beautiful harbour and scenery. Walks right around St. Monans worth it..and saw quite a few hidden viewpoint gems.
Had a great time in a small fishing village. Great for walking, we had a dog.
Only downside was Vrbo giving incorrect arrival information, which caused me to leave at 3am when i could have left home at a more respectable time.
Everything from the start of our stay right through to our departure was very good.
Everything was as described in our electronic welcome pack.
No negative comments at all.
Would certainly recommend this property to everyone.
The pictures do make it look a bit bigger than it is and I was expecting a small garden, I must have misread, could do with a cottage manual on arrival.
Delightful cottage with everything you need for a chilled break on the coast.
Steven was very helpful with questions. Location is quaint and great to reach other coastal towns. Lovely restaurants in Anstruthers and the doorstep.
Just take good walking shoes and a jacket so the weather doesn’t stop you drinking up the area
Steven has made this a very attractive place to stay. It is well equipped and the open fire is perfect for a cold night. You are seconds from the harbour and though you don’t have a view of it it does mean that you aren’t disturbed by passers by. Follow Steven’s recommendations and you won’t go far wrong. A great place to recharge your batteries.
