Traditional Cottage Yards from the Sand, with Sea Views and Enclosed Garden | Sleeps 6 | Pet-Friendly. Tucked just yards from the sand, Stoneywell Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom terraced cottage offering easy-going coastal living with sea views from the upstairs sitting room and an enclosed garden to the rear. It's a lovely spot for families or friends who want to be moments from the beach, close to Elie's shops and cafés, and within easy reach of the East Neuk's walking routes and nearby golf courses. Sleeping up to 6 guests across three ground-floor bedrooms, the rear garden also has access from Bank Street, making it handy for bringing in bikes and beach gear. Offering 139 m² of accommodation, the first floor is all about light and sociable living: the kitchen/dining area is fitted with a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher and microwave, with a dining table for relaxed meals, and a utility area housing the washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge-freezer. The main living room feels warm and welcoming, with a large dining table for games or family suppers, a gas/coal-effect wood-burning stove, a TV with DVD player — and sea glimpses to remind you just how close you are to the water. To the rear, a bright conservatory overlooks the garden and offers a cosy spot with sofa and chairs — perfect for a morning coffee or an afternoon read. There's also a handy cloakroom with WC and basin on this level. Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a safe, private space for children to play or for adults to sit out, with useful gate access from Bank Street.

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.
