    The house is comfortable, warm and excellent for entertaining. The Dory restaurant a few doors down serves delicious seafood. The East Neuk costal walk is on the doorstep.

  • "Just a shame that you were not forthcoming about the serious problem of constant 12Hour per day Roadwork and Excavations  directly in front of the property,  which had been ongoing throughout our visit to Maimies Harbourview for at least 10 weeks prior to our visit."

    The property itself would have been ideal for us, however, The constant noise, dust, dirt, fumes, banging, tapping,  and grinding, made this the Rental from Hell, starting at 7:30 am  till 7.30 pm for the full 7 days. Yes!  including weekend. If you require any proof, please advise as we have photographs and videos of the full debauchle.  As we were not advised of these major impediments until 2 days before our arrival we were unable to work around these major problems and our whole visit to Pittenweem  WAS SIMPLY A DISASTER. and a large refund is expected, as previously notified to you.

    We really enjoyed our stay, the only thing I would suggest is the option to use a stair gate(s) which would make it a little safer for those travelling with little ones.

  • "The accommodation was fine but it was disappointing that we were not advised about the road works which resulted in us having to park our vehicle a significant distance from the house."

    The latter would have been fine without having to carry luggage and more importantly, wetsuits and other outdoor equipment to the property on a number of occasions.

  • "Lovely 3 floor house right at the front of Pittenweem harbour."

    Just about every appliance and consumable was available. We had the roadworks outside, which meant the house was loud and rather worryingly vibrating from Monday to Thursday - we left a day early due to it. But I think they are finished by early April. Made parking hard and my new car got a dent from someone who didn't leave details. It's a dead end street but has a fish market and lots of vans. Bottom shelf of fridge missing so was tricky storing milk, but we just balance the bottles in the veg basket. Lounge sofas which were very low and uncomfortable despite lots of cushions, and it was tricky getting the gas fire working. The beds were great though, as was the lovely clean linen and bedding. Loads of pillows! Showers were great and overall lovely clean place to stay. We would definitely go back. Hope this was constructive, and only pointing out things that could make this place a 5*. :-)

  • "Excellent property."

    Clean, comfortable and spacious. Only downside is beyond the owner’s control in that there are currently (February 2024) works going on immediately outside the property. This means noise from early morning. Parking still ok (down the road or up the hill) but loading/unloading was a little trickier than it would normally be. That aside, this is a very good property which made an excellent base for exploring the area.

PITTENWEEM

Anstruther 1 mile; St Andrews 11 miles.

The village of Pittenweem is one of the busiest fishing ports along the East Neuk of Fife and, as such, is a popular attraction for tourists. There is a pub by the delightful harbour, which is surrounded by restored traditional buildings, all adding to its charm. The village name means ‘place of the cave’ and is believed to refer to the cave St Fillan used as a chapel in the 8th century, and where he is reputed to have prepared his sermons by the glow of his arm. The cave is open to the public and sits in Cove Wynd, in the village. The present day Church of Scotland, or The Kirk, sits on the site of the former Pittenweem Priory, an Augustinian Priory dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, the village is popular with tourists and hosts the Pittenweem Arts Festival each August, an event that has grown in size over the years. The East Neuk Festival is another arts festival that also encompasses many of the villages in the area. The village centre sits a few streets back from the shore and boasts a shop, bakers, a Post Office and a café, plus several bars and galleries. From Anstruther, one mile away, take a day trip out into the Firth of Forth and visit the Isle of May, a National Nature Reserve, or visit one of the other attractive coastal villages in this corner of Fife. With St Andrews and Edinburgh easily accessible, there is so much for the visitor to enjoy.
