Pittenweem is a charming fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife. The harbour is the main focus of the village, particularly early each morning when the fishing boats return with their catch and the daily fish market gets underway. Many of the charming houses around the harbour are of traditional Fife design with red pantile or grey-slate roofs with crow-step gables and have been restored by the National Trust for Scotland.
There is seasonal crazy golf near the beautiful refurbished Pittenweem Tidal pool with views towards the Bass Rock and the Isle of May beyond.

Not forgetting, of course, the beautiful beaches of the ever-popular Elie.

The bustling village of Anstruther is just five minutes drive away where there is a large selection of bars, coffee shops and restaurants.

Nice cottage…..nothing wrong with it but we would choose a different location in the future Dining table and chairs uncomfortable to sit on , maybe a few more items eg cutlery and a blind at the kitchen window would finish it off
