    Very good attention to details - a high standard of fittings within the house. Shower and hot water were great, also the bed, a good size and very comfy - quite firm. Great access to pub food at the 19th Hole, only 50 yards away, which is also dog...

    Location, a little gem you wouldnt know was there. Although we were there in January I can imagine that it would be a little suntrap in the summer. This would be ideal for families with young children as 2nd bedroom off main bedroom

Helena Cottage is a lovely non-smoking holiday home in picturesque Elie. It is situated in a quiet area, down a short gravel path near the golf course, has 2 bedrooms (double, with adjoining twin room), is equipped to a high standard (has a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence). Patio doors open out to a courtyard garden area which is a real suntrap! It is 2 mins walk to a blue flag sandy beach and the well regarded 19th Hole Bar/Restaurant. It is an ideal holiday base for couples and families alike to enjoy Elie & all that Fife has to offer. The cottage is fully double-glazed, has free wifi, wall mounted freeview tv (with Netflix, Amazon Prime), and comprises open plan lounge/dining/kitchen with extendable dining room table & chairs and solid wood flooring. The contemporary fitted kitchen is well equipped with all you could need for your stay, and property has fitted shower room. It is an ideal base for couples and families alike to stay, and we welcome pets by agreement.
I'm delighted to offer our cottage to rent in the best part of Fife's East Neuk. We have a wide range of visitors, many who have returned several times in the few years we have owned this lovely cottage. I'm sure you will have a fantastic stay, and become a regular visitor to the area as we are!
Elie & the surround East Neuk of Fife has lots to offer - golf, tennis, putting, library, bowling, bike hire, watersports centre, beach activities, coastal walks including the famous "chain walk" and of course there are a number of wonderful local restaurants, cafes and pubs. As well as nearby St Andrews which is only a 20 minute drive away. Elie is a perfect location for exploring the East Neuk of Fife.
