Cottage vacation rentals in East Neuk

We walked in the property in awe..!! What an amazing place “house on the hill” is. My wife and I couldn’t stop looking out at the view even at night time when it was dark. Under floor heating and a log fire certainly keeps you cozy throughout your stay. We had a bath on both nights together and we could sit side by side it’s that big and take in the view of the stars and planets. That was a first for both of us..!!! The bed is that comfy my wife had decided we need one exactly like it and the same size, which I’ve agreed too. We took in a day in Elie, Pitwimmen, St Monans & Anstruther. We had breakfast at the Pavillion and meal at Ship Inn. Both places were lovely and great food. We haven’t had the luxury like this before so we are going to book again for next year. Thanks Darren & Claudia.

We were looking for a total peaceful break, clear instructions on how to use amenities, hot tub was really clean and really warm so enjoyed hours relaxing in it! Thank you Ainslie ❤️

Fantastic house, great facilities, loved the jacuzzi. Stayed for a week of golf and was very central to our needs. Host was available when needed but no interference. Recommendations for food were excellent! Highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location. The cottage was well kept and very homely. It was ideal for our family with everything we needed. The location was fantastic. Great walks for the dogs, both at the cottage and nearby (some recommended by the owner). As well as close to a number of child friendly locations and activities for our 7 year old. A large Tesco was nearby as well as some great restaurants. We found it very relaxing and enjoyed watching the garden birds, red squirrel, and local deer. The owner was very helpful, with quick responses, and all relevant information provided in advance. The only point we have to note was the limited water pressure for the shower. The owner did make us aware of this in advance of the visit. Although low pressure, it was also still sufficient, clean, and worked so we could have a shower. Thanks again to Ashley for all her support throughout and her beautiful holiday home.

Very well designed cottage making the best possible use of quite a small space - with both a shower room and bathroom , utility room as well as kitchen/living space and the patio with hot tub. Although near to the High Street with a range of takeaways and a superb butcher (Hunters) the cottage is in a very quiet street. The nearby Curate Wynd free car park was very handy and we could unload from there. Although Dawn and Darren were away Dawn was on hand to answer any queries. We had a great three day break - spending the days at the RSPB Nature Reserve in stunning weather. We ate out one night at the Balgedie Toll Tavern - highly recommended for great food and very good service.

Property was ideally located for quietness. Garden was safe and secure for the dogs. Everything we needed was provided and any queries were answered quickly.

Wonderful stay. The location is absolutely superb. What amazing views and so peaceful and remote. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was pure bliss!! And the stars you could see on a clear night, wow. Despite being so remote it’s close enough to Edinburgh that you can drive in and do all the attractions. So just perfect. Kylie was a fab host too, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and letting the kids feed her kunekune pig one day! The animals are great, especially Karen then hen, although she will come inside if allowed haha! All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Kylie

We had an absolutely lovely time at Ali's place. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hot tub and garnden really make the place with stunning views. Easy access to Edinburgh by train and car and also the Fife coastal path. We loved it! would be very happy to return again one day. Ali was the perfect host.

We rented Ladywell Lodge with the Doocot for a large family holiday. Though the cottage is up in the hills, it was very quick to get to major routes. The lodge was perfect for the two couples who stayed there. It is tucked away in its own large outdoor space with woods and hill walks just moments away. It was comfortable and clean with everything as described. The kitchen was well laid out and the sitting room really cosy. The hosts were great too - Sandra is really responsive and we found the flexible check in really good. It was perfect for our family and being able to pair renting this with the Doocot meant we had a brilliant space for lots of people to stay. My husband and I would love to go back and would happily rent the lodge again as it was so comfortable in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend.

A lovely little flat, ideal for 2 people, but we managed with a child and... a dog! Whilst the space is rather limited, Anne ensured that it is functional and well thought through. She's also provided coffee (which was delicious with our breakfasts), milk and snacks, which was a lovely bonus. The flat is newly refurbished and modern and it was very, very clean when we arrived! The bed is on a small end of things, so I opted to sleep on the sofa with the child, which was extremely comfortable. Location is a good compromise for visitors who want to be close enough to Edinburgh, but also have quick access to the north. Thanks Anne, you are a great host!

An unexpected three month stay as repairs were done in my own home. The cottage was perfect for what I needed and helped me feel at home in an otherwise stressful time. Both hosts were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Beautiful interior and garden - it was clear that it had been a labour of love. I would highly recommend a stay here :)

Lovely stay! Accommodation was beautiful, all the thoughtful extras I’ve probably never seen an Airbnb go so far out their way to add that little extra to enhance a visitors stay. Very responsive to questions and the property was immaculately clean! 5 ⭐️

We had a great time at Libby’s. We used this location as a central landing place after exploring around St Andrew’s, Stirling, Falkirk, Culross. We felt well taken care of and appropriately checked in on. It was a very cosy stay!

This was a perfect quiet getaway with a beautiful view, and nice/convenient kitchen and laundry amenities. Bed had a heating mattress which was nice too. It got a bit cold even with radiators, but maybe we were using them wrong… Google Maps routed us incorrectly and getting there at night it was hard to follow Jill’s given instructions, but the instructions were clear. Overall very happy with the place and its amazing value! Look forward to staying again!

It was a lovely place to stay. We hope to be back soon!

We had a fantastic stay here! The cottage is lovely and immaculate! Rhona was really proactive with communication and gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants and cafes. The location is beautiful! Just a few steps to a lovely and peaceful beach and 10 minutes walk into town. We hope to be back!

We were in Elie for 2 nights and the Cupboard was great for a short stay as we ate out both nights. Although exceptionally well equipped for such a short space it would have been difficult to cook. due to the lack of workspace. The design of the space is exceptional for the size of the space and the wood burner kept us lovely and cosy. There are 5 beds all together but it would have been a challenge having more than the 2 of us and our wee dog. We love Elie and will be back and it's very likely that we will use Short Stay St Andrews again.

Beautiful property in a peaceful location. Set on a beautiful estate. We were very lucky with the weather but it would be great in any conditions! Lovely furnishings and decor. Kitchen well stocked and very clean. Great character property. Very nice log burner. Easy to get into Edinburgh centre but so peaceful. Would recommend.

Lovely cottage and surroundings. Homemade bread on arrival was a nice touch. Read in earlier reviews about deer on the lawn. It's true! Would highly recommend.

Great communication from the host. The setting is stunning and the cottage itself is beautifully presented. Very clean with everything we needed for a few days stay. A fantastic home away from home. Thank you.

Nothing short of amazing! A nature lover’s paradise (even with the Scottish weather). Got dry weather for an hour one morning haha so had a lovely breakfast in the garden. Met two tiny (literally newborn) lambs in the field next to us! All wobbly on their feet. So cute!! Friendly hosts, very clean and well decorated.

I picked the cottage for a few nights away as it looked gorgeous and the plan was to spend most of our time just chilling in the house. The property is stunning. Really beautifully decorated and has a lovely luxurious feel. The kitchen is probably the best equipped I have ever stayed in, not only in regards to the equipment but also the pantry staples, cleaning items and lovely glassware and crockery. There are a host of gorgeous books, novels and cookbooks throughout the house. The bed is DIVINE, and the bedroom so peaceful. The wood burner in the bedroom was such a treat too. Patrycja was really responsive from booking right to when we left, helpful with all questions and local recommendations. I highly recommend the cottage and would definitely return.

A great place to stay and looks as shown in photos Host was responsive and helpful. We didn’t realise it was 2 story but it was no burger to us but the steps are steep. There is no clothes dryer but we managed. Overall we would recommend others to stay.

A more comfortable or cozier cottage could not be imagined - lovely stay South of the Cairngorms. Gill's and Charlie's Ardblair Coach House Cottage nr. Blairgowrie and Rattray in Central Scottish Perth and Kinross has been our "home" for six nights last week - and we did feel as much at home as could ever be imagined. The beauty and coziness of this wonderful cottage did not just match both photos and description, it did by far exceed expectations. While the kitchen was fully equipped without anything necessary missing and the sitting room comfortable and tastefully decorated, what actually topped everything was the comfort of the king size double bed. We've certainly stayed at quite a good number of B&B's and Air BnBs all over the UK during the last twenty years, but what we can definitely say is we have never ever enjoyed any bedroom more comfortable than this at Gill's and Charlie's cottage. Thank you, dear Gill & Charlie ! Best wishes, Martin & Marc
