Seaview Fife Cottages
We had only endured a 10+ hour trip from London, changed buses in Edinburgh bound for the destination in Pittenweem. Another 2 hours later on we had been obtained at a bus place near to our final destination. We had eventually managed to make it to the cottage which we might phone residence for the next day or two.
The moment we opened the car home in front of Seaview Cottage, we're able to hear the waves gently rolling in and smell the sodium for the sea. The sky had been black colored and clouded over therefore – we'd must hold back until early morning to see just what view awaited our eyes.
The dawn emerged and like a child on xmas early morning we sprung out of bed and hurried towards the screen to see outside our entry way.
This.
This is exactly what we necessary to unwind after our tiring trip through Greenland and Iceland.
The Cottage
The Seaview Cottage has two large bed rooms, perfect for a little family members.
The upstairs bedroom has ocean views through built in skylights. There are two full sized restrooms and a kitchen that could fulfill any chef. Dalene and I also enjoyed our breakfasts in the terrace overlooking the ocean, it doesn’t get far better having your morning coffee with views such as this.
The place
If you’ve heard of Pittenweem we would be shocked. But it is a special little spot. The cottage garden gate sits right on the Fife coastal path.
We'd see numerous trekkers and individuals walking their particular dogs go by. The cottage is minutes away from the town center of Pittenweem and about a 20 mins walk (following coastal road) to Anstruther. If you continue on the coastal path past Pittenweem you'll arrive in the little town of St. Monans and a trip into chapel from the coast really should not be missed.
There are plenty of restaurants in the surrounding cities. One of the most famous fish-and-chip store is in Anstruther, but a local tip would be to attempt usually the one in Pittenweem, plus it had been some of the best deep-fried cod We have ever tried.
Overall
Sea and cliff views, beautiful views and a calming atmosphere makes Seaview Cottage an excellent spot to stay while you are exploring the Fife area. The wifi link ended up being great at home while the cooking area was well-stocked. Despite not easy and simple place to get to, it had been well worth enough time and effort. We thoroughly enjoyed our three-day remain here and desired it could were for extended.
Pitcairlie Holiday Apartments
Whenever we obtained our itinerary therefore said we would be remaining in Auchtermuchty I experienced no clue how to also pronounce title, not to mention where it was. But after somewhat research about that small Scottish village we had been fascinated.
It had been very an adventure aided by the Scottish general public transport system for truth be told there. A mere 50 kilometers took united states around 3 hours. Who owns Pitcairlie Apartments picked united states up in the city and drove united states back again to where we might be staying. While we would like to travel with public transport whenever you can, we rapidly learned that this is not the best option in outlying Scotland.
Record
Pitcairlie home dates back into the early sixteenth century and sits about 3 miles through the city of Auchtermuchty right in the center of Scottish countryside.
Your house changed arms inside mid-eighteenth century becoming obtained by Colonel James Cathcart and remained inside the household before the 1960’s.

When we came we were in awe of what size the property was. Its set within a 120 acre estate of woods, streams, parklands and two decorative ponds. There are plenty of wildlife nearby including hares, ducks, and deer. There are even Highland cattle on property.
The manor features five self catering vacation properties including four flats within Pitcairlie House and one detached vacation cottage transformed from the previous lodge house. The house can accommodate as much as 21 folks rendering it ideal for gatherings, weddings, or other family events.
