About this property

Iconic and luxurious 4 bedroomed house

Sleeps 8 - With its inspirational setting, this cottage is not just by the sea, it is in the sea. Situated in arguably the finest location in the picturesque fishing village of Pittenweem, this refitted 18th century cottage has been transformed into perfect holiday accommodation for a party of up to 8.
House on the Rock has a magnificent coastal setting on the harbour of old Pittenweem, one of the most charming fishing villages in the East Neuk of Fife. The house is set on the rocks overlooking the Firth of Forth and enjoys spectacular south-facing views out across the water towards the Bass Rock and North Berwick beyond.

Totally refurbished during 2012 and new bathrooms and soft furnishings in 2018, the cottage offers a remarkable lounge with south facing windows, breath-taking views to the south, west and east, across the lapping waves of the Forth. There is one double bedroom and two twin bedded rooms, all with en suite facilities and a further spacious attic twin room. A luxury kitchen has been newly installed and there is a separate dining room to relax over dinner after a day spent enjoying the East Neuk of Fife equipped with a wood-burning stove.

The renovations have been carried out sympathetically maintaining many original features while incorporating life's little luxuries.

Don't knock the Rock
Aside from a few vagaries with the heating system, all went extremely well, and we were very pleased with the property. The one amenity that I found lacking was there was no soap and shampoo in the showers.

Lovely location
Property was lovely, parking for 2 large cars a bit tricky, people peering in through the windows on their way to rocks was a little disconcerting.
