Description from owner
Description
This comfortable, ground floor holiday cottage, formerly part of the farmer's house is the perfect base for a peaceful break – a relaxing base from which to enjoy this wonderful corner of Fife. This semi-detached, contemporary holiday home is in the centre of the picturesque hamlet of Kilrenny, in the heart of Fife's East Neuk.
Kilrenny is within a pleasant ten minute walk of picturesque Cellardyke harbour, and only slightly longer stroll to Anstruther, with its shops,restaurants and world renowned fish and chips.
The farm lodge is an ideal base for a family holiday in an area renowned for golf courses, there are sandy coves, boat trips to the Isle of May to see puffins and seals, plenty of coastal walks and water sports nearby, in Elie, coastal walks along the Fife Coastal Path, Sea Life Centre, Deer Park, Scotland's Secret Bunker and historic houses and gardens.
An ideal base from which to explore the East Neuk of Fife's quaint fishing villages of Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem, St Monans & Elie strung along the coast, or easy access to Edinburgh, Dundee or Perth and The Trossachs.
The East Neuk is reknowned as the most picturesque area on the east coast of Scotland, its beautiful shoreline dotted along its length with quaint little fishing villages clustered round their harbours.
As a base for an enjoyable family holiday, it can hardly be bettered. The main road bypasses most of the villages on the landward side, leaving them very peaceful and full of old world charm. There are quiet coves with lovely sandy beaches, ruined castles, lighthouses, boat trips, & cycling along the many signposted routes in the East Neuk, excellent eateries, and, (this being Fife), plenty of golf as well. The Fife Coastal path runs the length of the East Neuk and offers fairly easy and highly scenic walking, with the added bonus of a good bus service (No. 95) which will take you home again if you decide not to go both ways on foot.
The Lodge offers a warm, charming base close to the restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions of Anstruther. St Andrews and the other coastal villages are only a few minutes' drive, with Edinburgh just over an hour away by car. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic hideaway, outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, or ,families looking for a rural retreat, or, golfers looking to mark their cards at any one of the many premier courses, including the famous Old Course at St Andrews.
Kilrenny Common, with children's' play area and woodland trail, are within a short walk of the cottage. The Lodge is secluded and quiet yet with amenities only a short walk/drive away, has an enclosed garden to the rear, safe for young children, and a pleasant place to relax after a hard day's fun..

“Relaxing break”
Just back from a short break with family and our cocker spaniel, The Lodge was clean and comfortable, and everything we needed, (small complaint was the garden few holes in hedge so couldn't leave dog unattended, and would have been nice to have table and chaired as weather was nice for sitting out with lunch) nice walk in to anstruther and surrounding areas....Visited Scotland's Secret Bunker worth a visit... Would defo use lodge again if every up that way

“Fabulous!”
My partner and I stayed in this property for one week in July 2016. Penny was very organized and friendly--she sent us detailed instructions about how to reach the cottage, and she prepared a wonderful welcome package. Penny was also extremely helpful during our stay with recommendations about places to visit in the area. The letting itself is very comfortable, with a nice kitchen and bathroom. The lounge/living room is not huge, but still perfect for a couple or couple with one or two small children. The location is great---the village of Kilrenny is very nice, and it is very easy to walk to Anstruther. There is also a bus stop nearby. We came by car, but it was nice to also be able to use other forms of transportation.

Response from the owner Hi I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and found the accommodation to your liking. We try very hard to make The Lodge a welcoming home from home environment and your comments are very well received. The area is wonderful to use as a base for exploring Fife and the East of Scotland. It is equally wonderful for a relaxing break with short excursions especially after having traveled for far. We look forward to welcoming you all on your next visit to the area.

Response from the owner Hi I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us at The Lodge. The East Neuk provides a fabulous get away from it all holiday retreat with plenty to see and do as and when you feel like it. The local area in particular allows children ( and those of us who are still young at heart ) to experience the simple adventures such as climbing trees and exploring the many rock pools, and discovering nature that is on your doorstep at The Lodge. I am pleased that the accommodation was to your taste and I look forward to welcoming you to stay again very soon. With Warmest Regards Penny
