About this property

Charming Flat with Harbor View in Picturesque Fishing Village.

Great flat with wonderful views over the Firth of Forth and Anstruther Harbour. Anstruther is just 9 miles south of St. Andrews in the picturesque East Neuk of Fife. A beautiful coastal walk connects the fishing villages along the coastline. Anstruther is the largest of the five villages and the flat is located on the main street of town just steps from many great shops, pubs, and restaurants. The ferry to the Isle of May leaves from Anstruther Harbor. The island has a fascinating history and is a bird watcher's paradise. The East Neuk offers many historical places of interest as well as beautiful beaches and lots of outdoor activities.

The flat has 2 bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room so it can sleep up to 6 people maximum. Both the larger bedroom and the living room have outstanding views over the Firth of Forth and Anstruther harbor. The flat is part of a listed building rebuilt in 1835.

Keywords: Comfortable, spacious apartment with harbor and water views situated in a beautiful area of Fife, Scotland, just 9 miles south of St. Andrews. Anstruther is one of 5 picturesque fishing villages along this coastline.

Updated Historical Flat with North Sea View

Invited guests from England to stay with us and we all loved it. The beds were comfy, the pillows were the best in 6 months of traveling, the living room and master bedroom overlooked the harbor and North Sea. It is right in town, so shopping and dining are right there. The information from the owner about location was great and the flat had wonderful amenities; full kitchen with washing machine, nice size bath with tub, good size rooms with appropriate furniture and dining tables in kitchen and living area. Would happily stay again.

This was our second stay at the flat in Anstruther, and we were glad we went back as it was as nice as we remembered. The flat is a lot bigger than it would seem from the exterior and has two good size bedrooms, large lounge and kitchen diner. It has everything you need to make your stay really comfortable, and there are also some really nice personal touches to make the stay stand out from your average rental for example, the owner leaves a welcome bottle of wine for each visitor. The flat is very clean inside and it is perfectly located for exploring both Anstruther and the wider east neuk - there are various takeaways and restaurants on your doorstep or you are only a short drive away from St Andrews and the other villages nearby. We would definitely recommend and will be staying there again.

The best place to stay in Scotland!

We stayed for 5 nights in this wonderful two bedroom flat while in Scotland. It is tastefully decorated and has anything and everything you would need for a fabulous vacation. It is in a perfect location right on Shore Street across for the ocean. There are many delicious resturants within walking distance. We used this terrific flat as our home base and traveled each day from here including visiting the Isle of May (from the pier in Anstruther), the Scottish Fisheries Museum (in town just down the street), St. Andrews, and the East Neuk fishing villages of Crail, Elie, St Monan and Pittenweem. You could also take trips to Stirling, Perth and Dundee. This was the nicest place we stayed while we were in Scotland during our 2 1/2 week vacation. Booking and paying for this flat was so easy as we are in the US and could send a check directly to the owner in Florida. This is a treasure so book this flat! You will not be sorry!

Wonderful holiday in Anstruther

Shore Holidays is a delightful apartment, right on the harbour of Anstruther. It is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with all that we hoped for. Easy to walk to the Co-op and all the village attractions. This was our fourth stay, and we hated to leave. Highly recommend it!

Perfect for graduation stay

We came for graduation and thoroughly enjoyed Anstruther and the flat. The flat was beautiful, roomy and very clean, and perfectly appointed for our stay. We would love to spend more time in the town, it has a long (ten centuries) interesting history and stunning sunsets and sunrises.

A perfect place to stay in Fife!

My husband and I enjoyed 5 perfect days in this delightful harbour-side flat. Although winds were blustering outside, we were cosy in this beautifully appointed, spacious apartment. The view of Anstruther Harbour and the Firth of Forth is lovely. This is our third stay and we have never been disappointed. We hated to leave, and hope to return soon.

Perefect location with plenty of space.

We stayed three nights in July. The is in the ideal location within very easy walking distance of all the shops, pubs, and restaurants. When we opened the door I was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of space we had. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining area, and a living room. The flat was well equipped in every way. The view over the marina and water is awesome. The street below is quite active during the day but settles down at bed time so we got plenty of sound sleep. I am very happy we chose this place to stay during our trip to see the Thursday first round of the 2018 British Open in Carnoustie.

Spacious, comfortable flat, great for our family of four.

We enjoyed our 5 nights at picturesque village. The restaurants were close and great food. Convenient bake shop downstairs as well. Sheena was easy to work with and very responsive. My husband said the master bedroom’s bed was the most comfortable he slept in for the whole trip! We were in UK for a month and stayed over 10 places on our road trip so that says a lot. Parking was easy for street stalls as well. Always found a spot close by. We had a great time and husband got on old course as a walk on last minute at St. Andrews which is close. Hint....get there really early. Opens 6am.

Nice sized flat in a peaceful seaside village with bus transportation very close. Relaxing.

We were so happy we chose this flat in Anstruther. It was peaceful and the town folk were very friendly. It is overlooking the harbor with a bus stop in front of the building for super easy access to St. Andrews. Sheena responded quickly and gave detailed instructions for parking and locating and entering the flat. She provided information for the operation of the flat and another for interesting things to do in the area, both of which were much appreciated. There are several tasty restaurants within a couple blocks walking distance. There is a butcher, baker, tea shop, coffee shop (serves up great coffee and breakfast) almost next door. This was a super place for some down time from a busy tour and we all wish we had booked several more days there.

First class accommodation

The flat was great- bright, spacious and stylish- with very comfy beds (something often overlooked in rented properties) and everything thoughtfully provided. The photos don’t really do it justice. Anstruther and East Neuk is a lovely part of the world which was unfortunately hit by freak arctic wind and sleet during our stay which limited our outdoor activities. No point complaining about the weather though !

Cosy inside with great view over the harbour

We have stayed in Sheena's flat several times and always enjoy our time there. For a winter visit it was beautifully clean and warm when we arrived, and appreciate the recent improvements - the new floor is attractive. For 2 couples it lacks a toilet independant from the bathroom. The view over the sea and harbour is the best feature and will bring me back again.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

My husband and I live in Florida but I am from Scotland. We both love Scotland and purchased the flat so that we could have a place of our own when we visit family. We intend to spend a lot of time there after retirement.

Why they chose this property

We chose Anstruther because it is a very popular holiday destination that is not too far from my family. The area is very charming and beautiful and offers many amenities.

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy the coastal walk that connects the fishing villages and the top notch seafood restaurants and pubs in the area. We like being close to St. Andrews - my husband enjoys all the great golf courses within easy driving distance as well as the fun 9-hole course in Anstruther. Being close to St. Andrews and only an hour to Edinburgh is also a big plus. I also have to say the water and harbor views from the flat are wonderful.
