Low Tide is a great hideaway for two, perfectly located between the main busy harbour of Anstruther and the quieter picturesque delights of Cellardyke - and literally a stone's throw from the sea! The tidal pool along the road was a wonderful discovery. The property has been redecorated and improved since our previous stay and feels fresher. Parking could be tricky, but we didn't feel the need to use our car for the week of our stay, so it wasn't an issue for us! We could have done without the early morning noise from the upstairs guests and their dog but overall our stay was very relaxing and we would definitely book again.

Lovely situation looking over Forth estuary. Bit dark inside but comfy. Low back door - I banged my head every day and I'm only 1.6m!! Main problem was difficulty parking in picturesque but very narrow streets.
