You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

In the heart of the East Neuk, with fabulous sea view and close to great golf.

Mill View Cottage is perfectly situated just a few hundred yards from the picturesque Fife Coastal Path, half way between St Monans and Pittentweem, and only a 20 min drive from St Andrews. Mill View is a newly renovated, immaculately presented traditional cottage with a large private garden and courtyard parking for four cars. The accommodation is all on one level and is suitable for guests with restricted mobility. The view across the sea to North Berwick with the historic windmill of St.Monans in the foreground is just breathtaking.

Providing a stylish comfortable retreat, the spacious, contemporary interior has been thoughtfully furnished with ample seating in the lounge and dining kitchen for six. There are three spacious bedrooms, one with a super king bed, one with a king size bed, and one with twin beds. The two largest beds are Sealy posturepedic beds with Nostromo pillow top mattresses. They are very spacious and comfortable and should ensure an excellent night's sleep, something that many of our guests have appreciated. The twin beds have award winning Emma mattresses and are also very comfy and suitable for adults or children.

The bedrooms are arranged in two 'wings' on either side of the lounge with the double bedroom and bathroom in one wing and the other two bedrooms and shower room in the other. The bathroom and shower room are recently fitted out with luxury sanitary ware.
The cottage has Sky TV, including SKY cinema and SKY sports, free wifi, Alexa and an ample selection of books, games, jigsaws etc for guests to use. There are also tennis racquets, beach toys etc. For colder days and evenings, there is a wood burning stove with wood supplied. There is a large decked area in the beautiful garden with garden furniture, parasol and outdoor lighting.

Best of all, however, are the wonderful panoramic sea and windmill views. It can be hard to tear yourself away from them to go exploring but well worth doing!

St Monans itself is a traditional harbour village overlooking the Firth of Forth, with spectacular views across to North Berwick, The Isle of May and Bass Rock. You can explore the streets and lanes, historic buildings, the old windmill that once powered the salt panning industry and the beautiful, old 14th Century church. Pittenweem has more shops, coffee shops, art galleries and a busy harbour selling fresh fish daily. There are a number of places in St.Monans selling freshly caught local seafood too, or you can catch your own from the sea front. There is a good local hotel in St. Monans, the very popular East Pier Smoke House selling fantastic lobster and an excellent seafood restaurant.

The Fife Coastal Path is just a stone's throw from the cottage , dotted with pretty fishing villages and many sandy beaches and coves to visit along the way. Pittenweem, St.Monans and Anstruther are all within easy walking distance of the cottage.

Activities for all interests can be found locally: fine golf courses, sandy beaches, watersports, art exhibitions, historic houses and gardens. This area is famous for golf with more than 40 courses in Fife, from the famous fairways of St. Andrews to the more traditional links courses and beautifully landscaped parkland and heathland courses. There are also numerous tennis courts nearby including St.Monans and Elie.

Just at the foot of the road, beside the steps to the coastal path, is Pathhead Nurseries. This is an excellent, well stocked garden centre linked to their own farm. It doesn't have a coffee shop, though there are plenty in the area, but it does sell freshly laid farm eggs from their own hens. It also has some fresh fruit and vegetables. Ardross farm shop is a short distance away and is a foodie's paradise with plenty of locally sourced artisan products. Bowhouse food market is a 2 minute drive and it has regular weekend food festivals.

There are sandy beaches a short drive away, we like Elie Beach and Kingsbarns Beach. Shopping wise, St.Andrews and Anstruther have a large variety of shops with the smaller villages having lovely gift and interior shops and essentials such as bakers, butchers, grocers etc.

Mill View Cottage is a warm, welcoming and comfortable retreat whatever the season. Nestled beside the Fife coastal path it really is a walker’s paradise and a great place to come home to at the end of a busy day. Heaven!

Lovely property in a great location for exploring the area. The layout with the separate bedroom wings was excellent. Really well equipped and the dogs loved the enclosed garden. The coastal path within 10 minutes walk was a great asset and the walks in both directions was fabulous.

Relaxing stay with friends

This is the second time we have stayed at Mill view and it is just as good as we remembered. It suits two couples and their dogs perfectly as everyone has their own space, the weather was good and we enjoyed the outside space and being able to walk along the costal path. I’m sure we will return.

The house was wonderful with the layout giving everyone their own space, yet still homely. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and lovely bathrooms. The view is stunning whatever the weather. Mature garden and large decking area just adds to this property's appeal. Situated within easy reach of all the villages in East Neuk. Hope to return one day.

Holiday with friends

Lovely comfortable cottage, on one floor with private garden overlooking the sea. The host provided everything for guests to self cater in a homely setting. Access to the Fife Coastal Path a short walk away, and in a central position set back from the coast road to visit all the local towns and harbours with great local food on offer. Would suit families, walkers, golfers wishing to explore this beautiful part of Fife. Many thanks Jeanette for a really wonderful stay.

Lovely stay

Thank you for a perfect weekend. House was so well located beside a garden centre and the coastal path - and in a beautiful area. It was ideal for coastal walks. Sun shone most of the weekend which made for lovely views of the sea and for exploring the surrounding villages. The house itself was comfortable and homely and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in the evenings - local produce was all delicious too. Jeanette couldn’t have been kinder as she offered us an early check in too which was an added bonus. We hope to return.

We had a terrific week here, the cottage was excellent, very comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the lovely garden enjoying the beautiful view. The coastal path is a few mins walk away, and it's not far to both St Monans and Pittenweem. Very good communication from Jeanette.

Tastefully modernised cottage forming part of a complex of four, situated in a quiet location with beautiful sea views. With easy access to the Fife Coastal Path and picturesque lactalbumin villages, this is the ideal place to spend a restful break. Having just spent a week there, we were most impressed with the quality of the cottage and its facilities and would highly recommend. All communication with the owner was quickly replied to.
