Bangor Cottage is a delightful little seaside hideaway, built around 1890 and now fully refurbished to offer bright, modern accommodation just a stone’s throw from the beach. All on one level, it’s a lovely option for guests with limited mobility or a young family who want everything close at hand – sand, sea air and coastal walks all within a few easy steps of the front door. Inside, the sitting room feels cosy and relaxed, with a TV (BT YouView box), DVD player, broadband via BT Hub and a double sofa bed for occasional extra guests (guests should bring their own bedding if using this). It’s a comfortable space to curl up after a day exploring the East Neuk shoreline or nearby Fife fishing villages. The contemporary Porcelanosa kitchen is compact but well designed, with ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge with small freezer compartment and a washer/dryer, making longer stays simple and fuss-free. Sleeping arrangements include a calm master bedroom with king-sized bed and fitted wardrobes, plus a single bedroom that works well for a child, friend or solo guest. The modern bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin. Outside, an enclosed patio-style garden provides a safe, sheltered spot for children to play and for storing bikes or beach gear, with handy access from the street. Full gas central heating and Wi-Fi throughout keep Bangor Cottage cosy and connected in every season, whether you’re here for a short coastal break or a longer East Neuk escape.

Elie and Earlsferry are two of the most picturesque towns in the East Neuk with a beautiful long sandy beach and a pretty little harbour. The golf links are the feature that joins the beautiful villages of Earlsferry and Elie and the local population are justifiably proud of their ancient course. The course has evolved over the centuries from a simple links golfing tract in the 1500s to the fine 18 hole course it is today. Elie town centre has lots of little shops ranging from the Elie Deli, Carol's Ice Cream Shop and the pharmacy, all the way to The Ship by the Harbour with its beach cricket and good food. Everything in Elie and Earlsferry is within walking distance, be it the Elie Ness Lighthouse, the beaches, the Links golf course and many more facilities. The bus routes are all frequent and easy to use. Taxis are available to the surrounding towns and St Andrews. 15 mins walk to Elie town centre, 5 mins walk to Elie Golf Course and less than 1 mins walk to the long, sandy Elie & Earlsferry Beach. Supermarket available in Anstruther, but lots of small local shops in Elie will provide most of what you will need.
