Excellent cottage with everything you need. It would be good if there was access to somewhere to dry laundry. The parking is really easy and very handy. Cottage is handy for local shops and places to eat. Would definitely recommend Rockies, Bread and Butter and of course the Anstruther Fish Bar. A drive to Elie is worth it for the deli and the amazing beach. We love Anstruther and would recommend this cottage and look forward to a return visit

We have been to the East Neuk of Fife many times and have actually walked by the Wynd Fidra is in. I was so happy to find it on your site and we have had a most wonderful week. A truly beautiful well set out and decorated cottage brought up to date by an outstanding renovation. The cottage has everything you could wish for and more.

Fidra is a charming wee fishermans cottage right next to the sea wall but sadly no access to the beach from there. It has everything you need for a weeks stay and plenty of pubs and restaurants close by if you want to eat out. I'm disabled and found getting around very easy and whilst in the cottage everything is on one level and the shower is easy to get in and out of. Would love to come back some day but it was a long drive for me to get there.
