A Jewel Property in Cellerdyke
We had a fab time in this property. Beautiful house over 3 floors making the best of the stunning views and sunsets. Ideally located for visiting that part of the East Coast. House has everything you need, the one thing that impressed all of us (simple as it may be) they had plug points next to all the mirrors in the bedrooms . Ideal for 6 ladies looking to get ready at the one time. Would highly recommend. We will be returning

Fantastic house
This house was amazing, really spacious with a huge well-equipped living/kitchen/dining room. Great views of the harbour and the sea, really comfy sofas, a huge tv screen and a large dining table. Bathrooms were large and modern (there was a problem with the showers but I'm sure that will be addressed). The layout was perfect for our party, 2 bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom, 2 bedrooms on the ground floor with another bathroom and the living area in the middle floor.
The bedrooms were really nicely furnished with very comfortable beds. The house is an easy 15 minute walk from Anstruther where all the cafes and restaurants are. We were a group of 6 friends and we all had a lovely time staying there. We would highly recommend it!

lovely house, great views
lovely open plan living, dining and kitchen area on first floor with lovely harbour and sea views. very useful room for coats, shoes, buckets and spades downstairs which helped reduce clutter. Fridge in kitchen really didn't keep food cold, so would recommend that second fridge in utility room is used instead. Freezer worked fine,but needs defrosted! Dryer not very effective, but needed as washing on clothes horse quite slow to dry downstairs as quite cool. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, good showers and good telly. Good selection of DVD's , but couldn't get DVD player to work. Played DVD through our laptop onto big screen instead which worked fine. Park and costal path 2 minutes out of door. Steep hairpin road down to property...fine if no other traffic. A few hairy reverses otherwise! On street parking, but we usually got a space just outside the front door so not a problem. Quiet street and easy walking distance into Anstruther. We had a lovely week and the children really enjoyed St Andrew's aquarium on our one really wet day and the beaches, coastal walks, parks ( esp Craigtoun) and fish and chips on the brighter days. We would recommend.
