Craiglea | Elie & Earlsferry

Set beside the golf course and just a couple of minutes’ walk from the sandy beach, this modern cottage is made for easy-going coastal breaks. With an enclosed rear garden, space to store bikes and off-street parking for two cars, it’s a relaxed, practical base for families, friends and golfers looking to enjoy the best of the East Neuk outdoors.

Inside, the ground floor is centred around a bright open-plan living area that’s perfect for unwinding together after a day on the course or the coast. The sitting room has two comfy sofas, a 55" Smart TV, DVD player and a welcoming wood-burning stove for cosy evenings in, while French doors open straight onto decking that overlooks the garden – ideal for morning coffee or an evening drink in the fresh sea air. The modern kitchen/dining space is well equipped for hassle-free self-catering, with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, extra fridge, freezer, dishwasher, cafetière, radio and iPod dock, plus a dining table that seats up to eight. A handy cloakroom with WC, wash hand basin and washing machine completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms offer flexible sleeping for up to six guests. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, TV, DVD player and its own en-suite shower room, while a second double bedroom and a twin room (with two single beds, TV and DVD player) are served by a family bathroom with bath, shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

With the golf course to one side, the beach a short stroll away and coastal paths, cafés and nearby villages within easy reach, this cottage works beautifully for classic seaside holidays and golf escapes alike.
