About this property

Coastal 1 bedroom cottage with sea views- The Shore

  • The Shore is a beautifully decorated 1 bedroom cottage in the quaint fishing village of St Monans. The property is accessed via the rear of the building but there is seating at both the front and the back. for guests use. We have set the theme of this 1 bedroom cottage to coastal Blues with white washed wooden floors. We have tried to create a tranquil soothing atmosphere in which you can relax into as soon as you walk through the door. The open plan spacious lounge has a large sofa bed(FOR BOOKINGS OF 3 PEOPLE OR MORE) and a table / 4 chairs for dining on the catch of the day.... There is a window seat to sit and watch the sparkling waters of the shore below. There is a brand new wet room with a powerful shower. Everything has been thought of to make your holiday memorable including Wifi, DVDs, Board games, Barbecue. There is an outside seating area with a bistro set and this catches the afternoon sunshine perfectly! Just a gentle stroll will take you to some of the best restaurants and cafes in East Neuk. A personal favourite -The East Pier Smokehouse!

The property was very clean, and well equipped for self catering simple cooking. It was relatviely spacious. Both the double bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. The wifi worked well. It was a great base for exploring the Fife coastal villages, and St Modan's has an excellent smoked fish restaurant.

Cosy cottage by the sea

The Shore is a very cosy and comfortable one bedroom cottage/flat. It is very well-equipped, nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. It was very easy to communicate with the host and nothing was too much trouble. The area is very beautiful with plenty to do, including beach walks, exploring the villages of the East Neuk of Fie, and enjoying the lovely cafes, pubs and restaurants . The cottage is an ideal base for discovering this charming part of Fife. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at the Shore and would recommend it to others.

Great Break

The property was spotless and impressive. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept like logs. Obviously, the weather was excellent which made walking the coastal path an absolute joy. I would have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends. When we are next down for a break in the East Neuk of Fife I would gladly stay at the Shore as we thoroughly enjoyed the break.

Misleading descriptions

The living room/kitchen and bedroom were ok, although the window seat cushion was dirty, window frames filthy, windows dirty. Also the view was a dirty wall, not the sea sparkling on the shore. The shower room had a worn floor, you had to scrape water into the drain after a shower, or you got wet feet when using the toilet. The outside seating was in a dirty back yard/passage and to reach the property you had to walk past stinking, overflowing bins.

Wir waren 4 Tage in St. Monans. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, leider hatten wir etwas Pech mit dem Wetter. Die Umgebung bietet aber genug Abwechslung, langweilig wird es nicht.Liz ist nich vor Ort, der Kontakt mit Ihr funktioniert aber einwandfrei, wir haben nichts vermisst.Das Bad könnte etwas größer sein, das ist aber unser einziger Kritikpunkt. Der Preis ist absolut in Ordnung.Wir kommen gerne wieder. Carla und Wolfram

A feeling of being mis led.

We left a day early. We have a feeling of being mis led. The front door you see is not the entrance you use. We had to go down a weed infested alley with bins. The table and chairs you see were actually in an awful dark damp corner at the end of this alley way by our entry door. Just awful. And you only get told about this rear entry the day before, and for obvious reasons we feel. Photos taken by us if needed.

Fischerhaus in erhöhter Lage

Das Cottage ist sehr, sehr geschmack- und liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet. Für ein Paar, das sich gut kennt, ist es völlig ausreichend, man sollte aber wissen, dass die Badezimmertür nicht richtig schließt. Wie in Häusern dieses Alters nicht unüblich, lassen sich die Fenster nur sehr begrenzt öffnen, was zu Schwierigkeiten beim Lüften führt. Wir haben uns dort jedoch sehr wohl gefühlt.

Beautiful little apartment in a stunning seaside village

I stayed here for 4 nights in May 2021 as a chill-out getaway from a hectic few months of non-stop work in Edinburgh. What a discovery! The apartment was exactly as described, beautifully furnished, clean and extremely quiet. Communication with the host was excellent, especially given I booked my stay at the very last minute. St Monans is a beautiful little fishing village on the Fife Coastal walk and, thanks to the unusually nice sunny weather (for Scotland!) I spent my days exploring the villages up and down the coast. What a fantastic few days I had and I'm really hoping I get the chance to come back again sometime soon!

Post lockdown coastal escape

Internally the property lived up to all expectations. It was light, warm and comfortable and tastefully decorated with a coastal theme. The bed was comfortable and warm important as it was below freezing each night. It was well equipped with additional touches such as Scottish fine soap products in the bathroom. We were celebrating our Ruby wedding anniversary, our host very kindly left a card and bottle of wine for us which was really thoughtful. Externally the entrance is at the rear of the property which was a little confusing as the front door, which is locked, opens into the living area. The property is located on an attractive street looking over red roofs to the sea.
