Fulmar House

This charming terrace cottage in the pretty fishing village of Anstruther is perfectly located for enjoying the delights of Fife, from the cities of Dundee and St Andrews to the pretty villages and beautiful sweeping beaches on the coast. Sleeping six in three bedrooms, it is the ideal property for a family break by the seaside.

Deceptively spacious, the interior of the cottage is stylishly furnished to a high standard throughout, with fresh, contemporary décor complementing the original features. Downstairs, the vibrant splashes of colour create a cheerful ambience while in contrast, the cool colours of the bedrooms exude calm.

As you enter the house, you come straight into the fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room – a wonderful space in which to relax and socialise over a tasty meal. The smart kitchen with its Aga and American-style fridge/freezer is superbly equipped for creating meals. The breakfast bar at the island offers a handy spot for a morning coffee or an evening aperitif. The huge oak dining table comfortably seats six next to the impressive fireplace.

On the first floor you will find two beautiful twin rooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and both decorated in cool, relaxing colours complemented by soft, muted tartan blankets on the beds. Also on this floor, there’s a stunning and spacious family bathroom complete with a luxurious waterfall shower and a freestanding oval bath, perfect for luxuriating after a day at the coast.

On the mezzanine, between the first and second floors, you will discover the bright and welcoming lounge. Sink back into one of the comfortable sofas and put your feet up with a book from the well-stocked bookshelf or just relax in the evening in front of the TV.

Up on the second floor is the large master bedroom, with twin beds and a large shower room with a luxurious walk-in shower.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy a drink in the sunshine, with a charming decked area at the far end with garden furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining.

There are several boat trips available from the harbour, including wildlife spotting trips out to the Isle of May National Nature Reserve. Families with children will enjoy the sandy Billow Ness Beach, just west of the harbour. Enjoy a paddle, build sandcastles or see what creatures are lurking in the rock pools.

The historic university town of St Andrews (9.5 miles), famous for its world-class golf, is just a 10-mile drive north of Anstruther. Explore the ruins of the cathedral, once the largest in Scotland, and climb the tower for spectacular views. Or visit ruined St Andrew's Castle, once the home of archbishops, and investigate its fascinating underground mine and dungeon.
