Excellent holiday cottageThe accommodation is on three levels with the living areas on the middle floor with excellent views over the harbour out to sea. Very well equipped. Comfortable sofas and beds. Can swim in the harbour and a two minute walk to the outside sea swimming tidal pool. Parking was good if couldn’t get in-front of the property could park a few hundred yards down the road. Lovely atmosphere in Anstruther in the evening (helped by outstanding weather)Only slight inconvenience was getting the keys back into the safe sometimes took along time to get them in without getting in the way of or closing. Would recommend to anyone. We went with three grown up children. Lots of golf within easy access

Another excellent stay at Nautilus Cottage. This time we had other family with us so all the beds were used. Ample room for all seven of us. The accommodation is bright and airy. The location is perfect for us. Nice and quiet but not far to go if you want to go into Anstruther or St Andrews for a bit more Biz. The weather was really great which made the close location to the harbour small beach and nearby play park all the more fun for the kids. Thoroughly recommend it.
