Pet-Friendly Three-Bedroom House with Garden Courtyard in the East Neuk's Smallest Fishing Port | Sleeps 6

Location

Harbour Hideaway sits in St Monans, the smallest of the East Neuk fishing ports, just over 12 miles south of St Andrews. The village lies directly on the Fife Coastal Path — a short walk takes you towards Pittenweem and Anstruther in one direction, or Elie in the other. The old saltpans and the reconstructed stone windmill that once pumped sea water up to them can still be seen, and almost on the foreshore stands the beautiful little Auld Kirk, built originally in the 14th century by David II in gratitude for surviving a shipwreck on the coast nearby. The remains of Newark Castle, with its circular beehive dovecot, lie further along the coastal path to the west of the village. A car is recommended for this property.
