Lovely Cottage

Well presented cottage in a delightful seaside town. Kitchen is small, but with all amenities including washing machine and dishwasher. Could have benefited from more crockery and cutlery to make dishwasher use more economical. Close to busy main road with a bus stop right outside bedroom window….bit of a shock when opening blind to find double decker bus right outside. A very pleasant week in a lovely part of the country.

Great location, excellent host, lovely, well equipped little house.

The village of Pittenweem is lovely. Coastal path walks, couple of good cafes, village shop, 2 pubs serving food. The house is 5mins from coastal path and walks in either direction are great. And the buses are good to get a lift back to right outside the house. The house is warm and cosy. 3 good bathrooms, all with showers and a galley type kitchen which is well equipped. The host was really helpful, answering all my queries about the locality and the house very quickly so if you want to visit the area I'd definitely recommend. My only tip:- Tall guests should mind their heads upstairs on the sloping ceiling.

The Coach House was exactly as it was described - immaculately clean, beautifully furnished with a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and luxury bed linen, towels and toiletries. It also has a lovely little courtyard for alfresco dining or sitting out in and enjoying the sunshine. Host Kirsten couldn’t have been more helpful and was very prompt in answering any questions we had. The cottage is perfectly located for the many coastal and inland walks we did. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Coach House to family and friends and would definitely return again. All in all it was perfect! Thanks Kirsten.

Comfortable and Well Located

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is well located in the lovely fishing village of Pittenweem , from which the other East Neuk fishing villages can also be visited. Good quality kitchen appliances, bed linen and towels, added to our enjoyment. The local bus service ( which stops outside the property) can be used to turn a scenic coastal walk into a circular route. Excellent fresh fish in the local restaurants.

Fab holiday

Cottage was on a main road but this didn’t bother us. It was easy to travel around the beautiful East Neuk. Bus stopped outside if you didn’t want to use your car. Pittenweem is a lovely village and has individual shops and cafes.

Lovely cottage, beautiful area

Very friendly, helpful and communicative host. Cottage was beautifully furnished and decorated. On a main road but 2 minutes from the harbour, which was so picturesque and peaceful, with some nice independent shops and cafes. Had a really lovely holiday there, spending the last night playing crazy golf in the evening sun, on a course which overlooked the sea, then a swim in the tidal pool. Would highly recommend.

The Coach House delivered exactly what we were looking for.

Accommodation was lovely and well kitted out, with space for both myself, husband, son and our bulldog! The rooms were immaculate with attention to detail along with little extras. The area was perfect for a chilled out family break with good walks, fresh sea air and villages right along the coast to explore. With the sun shining the new outdoor swimming area was a dream to have on our doorstep, with another right along the road at St Monans. Kirsten was a super host, very helpful and attentive, particularly in our struggles at the start. As we had our dog with us it would’ve been the icing on the cake if the garden area was slightly bigger, enclosed and with a grass section but a very small downside to what was fantastic accommodation.

A lovely property ideally situated for exploring Fife.

A modern, very comfortable house which was perfect for the two of us. Equipped for most of our needs. We particularly liked the App with information about the house as well as detail of the local area. Welcoming touches of toiletries and towels. We would recommend The Coach House to couples.

Great cottage close to the sea

The fit and finish of these cottage is just lovely. The beds were as comfortable as can be, the hot water was great and it was just a short walk to the Fife Coastal path. Given that it backs on to a main road, there is some low level traffic noise when you have the windows open during the day.

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten McKenzie

After holidaying in the area for many years ourselves we eventually decided to move and raise our family here. We have lived and worked in the East Neuk for over ten years and love the area. We enjoy welcoming visitors to our home turf and helping them to discover all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Pittenweem has been described as one of the most beautiful villages in Scotland and is one of several small fishing villages that thread the East Neuk Coast. Out cottage offers the benefit of off road parking alongside easy access to public transport for those without a car. Both the historic harbour and the coastal path are several minutes walk from the door. The modern facilities offer comfort and warmth in a traditional historic barn conversion.
