Mount Pleasant Lower

Elie - Apartment

Set just a couple of minutes’ walk from the harbour beach and the famous Ship Inn, this self-contained lower cottage forms the ground floor of one of the original detached coastguard houses – a charming coastal base with lovely sea views from the front windows. Newly repainted outside with fresh double-glazed windows (2023), it’s a relaxed, no-fuss hideaway that puts you right by the water and within easy reach of everything the East Neuk has to offer.
Inside, there’s plenty of space to drop bags and kick off sandy shoes in the sizeable porch, which is also ideal for storing wet-weather gear, golf clubs and beach kit. The bright living room has comfy modern sofas (with new covers in 2023), a 32" Smart TV and a gas coal fire for cosy evenings in, along with a neat pull-out dining table for shared meals. The separate kitchen keeps self-catering simple, with a gas cooker, breakfast bar and stools, fridge, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher.
Two bedrooms make the cottage a great choice for families or friends. There’s a double bedroom, plus a twin bedroom with two single beds; a double inflatable bed with built-in pump is also available for extra flexibility (guests should bring their own bedding for this). A modern bathroom with shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin completes the layout. While there’s no private garden, you do have an exterior bench at the front – perfect for watching the light change over the water – and with the beach just moments away, the shoreline effectively becomes your extended “back garden”.
Parking is straightforward, with space for one family-sized car or two smaller cars in tandem directly in front of the lounge and bedroom windows. From here, you’re well placed for coastal walks, sea swims, local pubs and golf along this iconic stretch of Fife coastline, with friendly local support and easy, direct booking through our team in St Andrews.
