    I loved the quirkiness of this apartment, and the homely feel to it. It was well stocked, cosy and comfortable. I only used the first floor but can imagine it being a great place for group/family. Great location near the harbour.

    The house is so pretty. Lots of period furniture, rugs, beautiful colours, pots of pretty details , lovely views. So cosy and comfortable. I said in plenty of boring, greige places, this is the opposite: full of charm and character

Host Information

Host review score
Anchor House stands at the entrance to the harbour in Pittenweem, one of the famous East Neuk fishing villages in North-East Fife. Neuk means nook or corner in Scots and it is a wonderful corner of Scotland to visit. Just a few metres back from the harbour, sunlight floods in through the 3 first floor living room windows where you can watch the fishing boats come in and out of the harbour, followed by seagulls and even seals! The spacious flat ranges over the first floor of an early 18th century fisherman's house, which later in life became the Crown and Anchor pub. You can eat in the new kitchen or at the dining table in the living room. Our own free-range and very spoilt hens will provide fresh eggs for your breakfast if they are laying. There's plenty of comfortable seating in front of the open fire or for watching the smart TV but your eyes will be drawn back to the view. There's free wifi throughout the flat, and easy parking either up the hill or down at the harbour.
Cafes, galleries, antique shops, it's all on your doorstep, a perfect location at the edge of the harbour. As you walk down the road it's just 100m to the Dory bistro, open for lunch and dinner. That is followed very shortly by the Larachmor Tavern for a pint, fish and chips or great curry. A couple more steps and you are at the famous Pittenweem ice cream and sweetie shop, a must for every holidaymaker and local alike. Take your ice cream on around the corner to the little beach beyond the house on the rock. Up over the hill to the newly restored bathing pool, get there early, it is very popular! In the main street are arts and crafts shops, galleries, Barnett's artisanal bakery, grocer, chemist, post office, my favourite fish and chip shop, and the wonderful Cocoa Tree café. Further afield follow the coastal path to Anstruther one way, St Monans the other way, and carry on to the beaches of Elie beyond that. Just 15 minutes by car will get you to St Andrews, the home of golf and the oldest University in Scotland, founded in 1410. There are plenty of dining and shopping opportunities here too.
