My husband and I had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect - accommodations.... We went for hikes along the ocean - great views. Wandered through the village and found a fresh seafood shop - delicious. Thank You Steven!!!

The property was lovely, right by the harbour and immaculate inside. The living space is cosy (it is best to only cook simple meals due to kitchen size) and the bedrooms large. The bathroom was excellent and beds were super comfy. We found 4 nights in the area was good for us and our dog.We loved the tidal pool just a short walk along the coast. Also we enjoyed the cafe over the road and the food at the smokehouse in town. The locals were friendly and parking was easy.

Scottish Coastal Golf Trip

A great place to stay - tidy, well-appointed and charming. While St. Monan's is a touch quiet the location worked perfectly for our trip. The Giddy Gannet across the street was a perfect start to our days.

Wonderful cottage, beautifully equipped and extremely comfortable. The town of St Monans is quiet, stunning and welcoming. A coffee and breakfast sandwich from the Giddy Gannet across the road and a walk around the harbor is an amazing way to kick start your morning. Steven is a brilliant host, friendly, super responsive very very helpful and does everything to ensure you feel right at home in his home.

We loved our stay in St Monans and this property was the perfect spot. The kitchen worked well when we chose to eat in; we never were able to figure out how to operate the microwave, but the stove and oven worked fine for us. It was a bonus having the market next door and the Giddy Gannet across the street. We made use of the washing machine and were able to dry clothes on the rack over night. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom shower was very good. We enjoyed the eclectic decorating (I loved the tiles behind the cooktop!). The host was very responsive to questions.

Quaint fishermans cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, in particular walks along the coastal path, that were not too challenging. The accomodation was clean tidy and compact. The beds were comfortable and bedlinen, towels etc clean and of a good quality.

Great stay.

Had a great time in a small fishing village. Great for walking, we had a dog. Only downside was Vrbo giving incorrect arrival information, which caused me to leave at 3am when i could have left home at a more respectable time.

Excellent location

Lovely clean property in the centre of St Monans.We were lucky to experience sunny, dry weather and a garden space would have been ideal.To dsscribe the property as having a patio/ outdoor space is a wee bit misleading as it is a bench seat looking out onto the road, in full view of passers by.
