Just back from a wonderful stay over the weekend, in this beautiful static home. The host was so helpful from start to finish, the place was spotlessly clean and in a fab location! We didn't have chance to visit the restaurant there, but it looked to be very lively in the evening which was nice. The kids loved the play area, and we took a late stroll to the beach for an evening breath of fresh air, which is literally a 5 min walk away at the bottom of the site. A great mini escape into nature, we will most definitely be visiting again soon.

Exceptional food, classy service, super comfy mattress and bedding, hidden getaway feel. My husband said that it might be the best cooked breakfast he has ever had (which is high praise indeed given we have been lucky enough to travel extensively to some very exclusive resorts and hotels around the world).

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing. The owner and his team are incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. He went above and beyond to make our stay as perfect as possible. The owner is such a genuinely nice and charismatic person—it felt more like visiting a good friend than staying at a hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished, and he did an outstanding job of preserving the charm of the 400-year-old building while seamlessly incorporating modern standards and comforts. We had a parking spot right in front of the hotel on the street. Since we were driving a rather large car (BMW X6), parking was a bit tight at first. However, the owner immediately moved his own car to give us more space—such a thoughtful gesture! All in all, if I could give more than 10 out of 10, I would happily rate our stay at least 15 out of 10!

Very friendly host. The room was clean with a comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent and had good gluten free options. There was tea & coffee in the room and the bottled water was a lovely addition.

Great location, virtually on the beach (fantastic safe beach for kids). Bright and comfortable home, well furnished and loads of toys/books for the children. Great outdoor space too. Very handy to the Elie Deli, which has everything you need from fresh croissants, sandwiches and wine. Great Ice-cram shop just across the road and a fantastic pizza van - delicious pizzas. Would also recommend the Ship Inn. Easy parking on street in front of property and easy access to the Fife peninsula. Highly recommended, would stay again.

Beautiful location overlooking the beach in Elie and very convenient for us walking the Fife coastal path. Upstairs restaurant has amazing views. Wonderful breakfast with good quality produce. Accommodating gluten free diet well and even had gluten free sausage and haggis. Yoghurt and fruit compote delicious.
