Mariners Cottage | Elie
Traditional 1749 Cottage on Elie High Street with Secure Garden and Ground-Floor King En-Suite | Sleeps 6
Mariners Cottage is a traditional terraced cottage on Elie High Street, built around 1749 and thoughtfully renovated to offer comfortable, well-equipped family accommodation with a lovely secure garden at the rear. You're just a short stroll from local shops, cafés and the long sandy beach, with coastal walks and world-class golf close by, yet tucked in enough to feel calm and homely.
Sleeping up to 6 guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout works brilliantly for mixed groups and guests with limited mobility, with a ground-floor master bedroom and en-suite wet room.
