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.

The house was lovely. Only improvement I would make to rooms is the window and glass doors coverings. Too much light getting in, in the mornings and that will be same as days lengthen in summer. No covering over front and back door or kitchen/utility either which made the place feel chilly although it wasn't. Really comfy and homely though. Loved the decor and the wee patio area was fab. There looked like a hole in one of the down pipes you want to look at.

Lovely bolt hole

Lovely modernised property beside the harbour in St Monans. Very clean and spacious. Note that all beds are doubles on the ground floor, bathroom and living space on first floor Ignore requests from property agents for “check in information”- attempting to gather far too much unnecessary personal information for marketing purposes.
