This is a lovely property, very serene with lots of light, a gorgeous garden, and stunning views from the upper floors. I needed someplace that felt quiet and private but not isolated and this totally fit the bill… it was right in town but tucked away on a steep, narrow lane that only allows for foot traffic. If anyone in your party has mobility issues, this property probably isn’t right - you have to walk yourself and your luggage up the lane with has some stairs as well, and the house itself is on three floors. For me it was absolutely perfect, and it would be great for a larger party as it has three lovely bedrooms and two full baths, and the kitchen is large with a big table and there is lovely outdoor furniture as well. The hosts were wonderful, very communicative and helpful. All in all, a very well run property in a beautiful setting. I felt very lucky to have stayed there.

Beautiful property, comfortable beds, perfect location, beautiful garden. All perfect, no complaints (only thing to note and people could be made aware of is had children there once and when back door and front door open at same it’s a bit of a wind tunnel, need to prop front door open otherwise it slams and it’s heavy and child nearly got caught - just useful to be aware of it!) Thanks so much for a lovely holiday!

Idyllic is the word - Pittenweem is a lovely little fishing village and a great base for wider travel, and this house is just perfect - really well presented, large enough that you aren't all tripping over each other and very quiet. Sam is a terrific host too.

Cozy seaside cottage near harbor with excellent communication and recommendations from host. All of our needs and comforts were satisfied. We would most DEFINITELY stay again and recommend to family and friends! We enjoyed coastal walks, the wood stove/sitting room, BIG kitchen, back garden, and space for everyone. The Dory Bistro was excellent! And I especially liked the friendly staff at the Coco Tree and the yarn shop.
