“This is a lovely old house with a fantastic garden in a great location, the kitchen has everything you could need and the bedrooms were all really comfy.”

The plumbing let things down slightly as there was water leaking from the main shower through a light fitting, the owner told us they were getting it fixed but it made us slightly concerned about using that shower for the rest of the weekend. However the en suite shower was very erratic (no toilet could be flushed 5 mins before use and it wildly varied between hot and cold for some) so making sure we were all clean wasn't the easiest! The downstairs toilet was also leaking at the base. But ...

The plumbing let things down slightly as there was water leaking from the main shower through a light fitting, the owner told us they were getting it fixed but it made us slightly concerned about using that shower for the rest of the weekend. However the en suite shower was very erratic (no toilet could be flushed 5 mins before use and it wildly varied between hot and cold for some) so making sure we were all clean wasn't the easiest! The downstairs toilet was also leaking at the base. But these problems weren't major, the owner said the plumber was going to fix the main shower so it should all be grand and we had a lovely stay.

Ideally situated with beaches coastal walks and eateries nearby.

“Excellent location and suited us perfectly for our holiday.”

House is big enough for 10 with a little sofa bed as well in the games room. Loads of crockery, cutlery, bedding, towels etc. Could do with smaller tumblers and wine glasses but otherwise a great house. Will definitely book again

“Location: amazing!”

The town is brilliant and the house in a few mins walk from rocky shore great for rock pools and a lovely playground overlooking the tidal pool, great water sports and fish and chips near by. Delicious bakery and corner shop just steps away. Great trips to St Andrew’s and wonderful sandy beaches very easy, and Craigtoun park is fab. House: fantastic size and really well stocked. Could be cleaner. Fridge door shelves broken so made it impossible to keep milk etc in door which meant lots of spillages. Great garden. Really fantastic for us as two families with young kids - would absolutely recommend.

“We had a great time.”

House was spacious, warm clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything you would need. Garden was large, secure and ideal for families with dogs. The house is in a quiet street close to a small corner shop and bakers. It is a short walk to Cellardyke harbour, the Fife Coastal trail and Anstruther with it's own larger harbour, shops, cafes and fish and chip shops.

“Castle Cliffe was ideal for me and my brothers families to get together for a special celebration.”

The house was spacious with plenty of room to socialise and fantastic bedrooms and bathrooms. I particularly liked the living room with it's beautiful ceiling. The garden was also ideal for our cockapoo and we all enjoyed the swing, even though the weather wasnt really good enough. Lots to do around Cellardyke, and despite the volume of holidaymakers I felt safe, as everybody respected social distancing and wore masks. Thanks also to Jane for her prompt correspondence and for sorting us out!

“This house was perfect, yes it's not shiny and new but when you have three children you feel comfortable.”

It's like home from home. Host was very very helpful. The house has everything you need and more. Hopefully will get a chance to return very soon. Cc

“When we got there,the freezer was frozen solid, it took my brother 2 hours to get all ice out.”

We think it was to high because the fridge got frozen to and we had to throw fruit and salad stuff away. The only frying pan there had a broken handle so we had to buy a new one. One of the dining room chair arms was either loose or broken.There was a couple of other things like the book that tells u what is what i.e car one other side of road, how to work heating, washing machine etc should be near front door, and there was one bedroom door handle broken, other wise we had a fantasic time the houae it self was great.

“Lovely large house for a family or group of friends.”

Plenty to do in the area. Great walks along the Fife Coast towards Crail or Elie. Bus stop very near for St Andrews and 3 miles from the secret bunker. Short walk to the pubs, restaurants and harbour in Anstruther.

Mrs Walker December 2018

“Good house for a family break.”

Owners had just done some work replacing some carpets and installing Wi-fi. Unfortunately when we arrived the heating had not been turned on and it took a long time to warm the house. The lounge radiator is insufficient to beat December temperatures and we had to purchase coal and logs for the fire. It still needs some tic including lightbulbs that work in all light fittings. Cooker hood and light still does not work. We did enjoy our break

- Mrs Walker, December 2018
Mr Poole October 2018

“The location was great.”

We had no problem finding an on street parking space opposite the house and it was very quiet and only a minute from the sea. The house was very comfortable (warm and homely) but requires a little bit of TLC. Some maintenance is required, in particular the front door lock. The house would also benefit for some more equipment in the kitchen such as microwavable bowls and double ended oven gloves (rather one oven mitt).

- Mr Poole, October 2018
Mrs Boulton October 2018

“Good location.”

Lots of space and accommodation for the eight of us. Slightly confusing info about what we should do with our rubbish!

- Mrs Boulton, October 2018
Mr Schofield July 2018

“Castle Cliffe is in a lovely location and is a great size for large families.”

The surrounding area is beautiful and has some great walks. St Andrews is a short car journey away. The owner left some fresh flowers and a bottle of wine for us which was a lovely touch. There were a few bits in the house that require some attention. Some loose door handles and the cooker hood wouldn't work for us but very minor things.

- Mr Schofield, July 2018
Mr Rogerson March 2018

“The fact that the dishwasher was not working was reported to the owner on arrival by us.”

A plumbers visit was promised with immediate effect but he had not turned up by the end of the week. There was very little information about the use of any of the equipement. For example we had to discover the heating timer hidden behind towels and never found out if the cooker hood worked. Information about local doctors etc could have been useful although, fortunately we did not have any emergencies. It was not clear from the literature that parking was on street.

Mrs Grist October 2017

“Great house for our party of 10 - lots of space for adults and kids and a great garden for tree climbing!”

Walking distance to the shops, harbour, parks and the coastal path!

- Mrs Grist, October 2017
Ms Weaver July 2017

“What a great house for larger groups!”

We had a 2 yr old and a 78 yr old with us - this property met all our needs and was easy and comfortable to relax in.

Mr Connolly December 2014

“A lovely big house full of character not mod cons.”

In a beautiful part of the country with plenty to see and do. Great pub/restaurant and good transport links also.

- Mr Connolly, December 2014
Miss Ridding September 2014

“This was an interesting character property, really spacious, very close to local attractions and a good centre for exploring other areas too.”

- Miss Ridding, September 2014
Mrs Brown May 2014

“Eight adults stayed at this cottage and it suited us extremely well.”

It was very clean, well appointed and very well equipped. The rooms are large with extremely comfortable and good furniture and in many ways the photographs on your website did not do it justice. We loved the dining table next to the kitchen and spent most our time in there.

- Mrs Brown, May 2014
Mrs Hickman April 2014

“This is a lovely house in a lovely location.”

It is within a good distance from Edinburgh and the central highlands. There is a lot to do in the area of Anstruther. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the extra small living room was an added bonus. Being able to take a dog was great and the secure garden was lovely. Despite visiting in early spring the house soon warmed up due to good central heating and we enjoyed the open fire!

- Mrs Hickman, April 2014

About the location

ANSTRUTHER

St Andrews 10 miles; Cupar 16 miles; Edinburgh 50 miles.

Anstruther is the principal village on Fife’s East Neuk Coast and was formerly two distinct burghs, Anstruther West and East. The two parts of the village are divided by the Dreel Burn. Anstruther was originally founded as a fishing village and played a major role in the Scottish herring industry. The history is well documented in the Scottish Fisheries Museum sitting alongside the attractive and busy harbour. Now popular with tourists, Anstruther offers many cafes, bars, galleries and restaurants including the award-winning Anstruther Fish Bar, and tourists sit around the harbour enjoying their traditional fish and chips. The harbour is now home to the many pleasure craft offering trips along the coast or to the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth to view the puffin and seal colonies. Across the Forth is Edinburgh and this is easily accessed by car or public transport for an exciting day out. Another popular attraction is the Secret Bunker, a former Cold War nuclear bunker now open to the public. With beautiful coastal walks, the proximity of many golf courses, including St Andrews, Anstruther has so much to offer the visitor.

Note: Max 10 people, including infants.
