Conservation area cottage

This is the cutest cottage available in Pittenweem. You will find everything you need to enjoy your stay and then some. The beds are really comfortable, the living area has been recently updated with new furniture and carpet and fibre WiFi is on site. The private yard is great for a morning cup of tea or an evening barbecue. Although being a really quiet location you will find the local amenities and harbour a couple of minutes walk away. Local communities of St Andrews, King's Barnes, Crail and St Monans are just down the road. The cottage is available for the week of Christmas from the 20th until the 27th and New Year from the 27th til the 3rd or later.

Lovely stay.
I was trying to think of something to write on how I felt about my stay. On entering this lovely cottage, it felt like, one big cosy, warm, comfortable, safe and secure hug. I needed to get away for a short break, I didn't know at the time when I booked this last minute, it turned out to be just what I needed and so much more. Elaine, the host was absolutely lovely, her enthusiasm, love of the cottage and very friendly village was totally contagious and understandable. I was really sad and really didn't want to leave but I am planning to return. for a break

Pittenweem Conservation Cottage
An enjoyable stay despite terrible weather. The village is lovely. The cottage was comfortably furnished and the kitchen well equipped. The bedrooms were on the small side but overall a nice place to spend a few days. The host was very friendly and helpful. I found Vrbo systems unnecessarily complex and felt the organisation was only interested in selling more holidays and not in providing a good service to the customer. When I did manage to get through to an actual person he was very polite and helpful despite having to go through a great rigmarole before even asking what he could do to help.

Great wee cottage
Cosy wee cottage close to the main road running through Pitenweem on the road to Anstruther. Good access to harbour just 4 or 5 streets away downhill. Lovely pop in antiques/junk emporium on the next road, right next to a gallery, fresh fishmonger at the end of the street. Narrow lane outside the house with no parking restrictions with two steep steps from the pavement up to the garden from the street and then into the cottage. For a small cottage it seemed to have anything you could possibly need, with sheltered outdoor seating area & BBQ. Compact bedrooms but not really lacking anything at all, spacious sitting room for 4. Personally found the bed a little small for 2of us, as both of them are up against walls and on one side so difficult to get out of for a nighttime pee without waking up the other half! Otherwise perfect, we’ll be back.

Delightful cottage
Stayed in Conservation cottage for a long weekend with my friend and my dog. Cottage was a great find. Very clean and very comfortable. It has everything you need to ge able to relax. Lovely garden area where you vou could sit out if the weather allowed.Very close to the harbour area where there were a few shops and restaurants. Lots of different walks nearby and easy access to other areas of the East Coast. The area is very dog friendly and people are friendly too. Communication with the host is excellent. Would love to return for another stay soon.

Trip to the East Neuk of Fife
A lovely well appointed cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and was very handy for the town centre where the locals were very welcoming. Pittenweem was a great base for visiting the other towns in this special part of Scotland. Peter the owner had given us recommendations for local restaurants and both the Dreel and Larachmohrwere excellent and great value. A real bonus was that nearly all the coffee shops and restaurants were dog friendly and being able to take them in with us

A good place to stay
A cosy, welcoming place to stay, lovely to be met by warmth when we entered late on a cold day. Impressed with how the property was equipped with thoughtful additional items. Very comfortable beds. We were confused by the Question "Communication with Property Manager". We had no communications when at the property, hence a 1 is shown. Does this refer to the booking process? The key safe didn't open as readily as others we have used and the key didn't work as readily in the lock as I would expect; perhaps weather conditions were a factor.

We had a great stay at the cottage. We cooked in the full stocked kitchen and the children loved the little garden and bath tub. The location was great and so easy to walk around town. We would definitely stay here again!
