Anchor House is a charming accommodation located at the entrance to the picturesque harbour in Pittenweem, a renowned fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. This spacious flat, which can comfortably accommodate up to seven guests, spans the first and second floors of an early 18th-century fisherman's house that was once the Crown and Anchor pub. The property features three bedrooms—two doubles and a twin—along with two newly renovated bathrooms and a modern kitchen. Guests can enjoy the warmth of an open fire in the living room, which is bathed in natural light from three large windows, offering delightful views of the bustling harbour where fishing boats, seagulls, and seals can often be seen.
Conveniently situated just a few steps from the harbour, Anchor House provides easy access to a variety of local attractions and amenities. Within a short walk, guests can find the Dory bistro for meals, the FMA shop for unique household items and souvenirs, and the Larachmor Tavern for a casual drink or meal. The area is also home to the famous Pittenweem ice cream shop, a favorite among visitors and locals alike. For those looking to relax, the nearby beach offers opportunities for paddling, shell collecting, and picnicking, while the newly restored bathing pool is a popular spot during the warmer months.
The village of Pittenweem is rich with cultural experiences, particularly during the annual Pittenweem Arts Festival held in August, which transforms the community into a vibrant hub of art, music, and food. Anchor House's upper floor serves as a gallery during this time, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the local art scene. Beyond the village, outdoor enthusiasts can explore the coastal path leading to neighboring towns like Anstruther and St Monans, or venture further to the beautiful beaches of Elie. Just a 15-minute drive away, the historic town of St Andrews offers additional dining and shopping options, along with its prestigious golf course and university.
In addition to its charming accommodations and prime location, Anchor House is pet-friendly, making it an ideal getaway for families and animal lovers. The property is equipped with modern comforts, including gas central heating for cozy winters and comfortable seating areas for relaxation. With its blend of local culture, stunning coastal scenery, and welcoming atmosphere, Anchor House in Pittenweem provides an unforgettable experience for visitors seeking to explore this enchanting corner of Scotland.
