Binny Cottage, located in the picturesque fishing village of Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland, is a beautifully restored accommodation that combines two traditional fisherman's cottages. This unique property, managed by the National Trust, is ideally situated near the coast, opposite the historic St Fillans Cave, which gives Pittenweem its name, meaning "Place of the Caves" in Pictish and Scottish Gaelic. The cottage's proximity to the working harbour, the most active fishing port on the East Neuk coast, makes it an attractive destination for visitors, being just a short drive from the renowned town of St Andrews.
Pittenweem is celebrated for its stunning beaches, scenic coastal walks, charming fishing villages, and a vibrant local food scene. As the last working fishing harbour in the region, it boasts a lively artistic community, highlighted by its famous arts festival. The village is equipped with various amenities, including shops, cafes, and galleries, making it a convenient base for holidaymakers. Binny Cottage itself is located on Cove Wynd, one of the most picturesque streets in Pittenweem, characterized by its iconic white house with a red roof, exemplifying the classic East Neuk architectural style.
Accommodating up to eight guests, Binny Cottage is ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a relaxing getaway. The cottage spans three levels, offering stunning views of the Firth of Forth and the Lothian coast from the upper bedrooms. The interior features a spacious dining kitchen that opens to a back garden, a luxurious dual-aspect lounge with a multi-fuel stove, and four well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size rooms, a twin room, and a versatile room with a king-size sofa bed. Additional amenities include a Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and a selection of DVDs, books, and board games, ensuring a comfortable stay for all ages.
The cottage is adorned with artwork from local artists, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the area. It also offers a well-designed walled garden perfect for relaxation, a shower room with underfloor heating, and a bathroom with an overhead shower. For those looking to explore the surrounding natural beauty, attractions such as Craigtoun Country Park and Billow Ness Beach are nearby, while cultural highlights include the Scottish Fisheries Museum and Crail Museum. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy activities like windsurfing, sailing, horse riding, and cycling, making Binny Cottage an excellent choice for a memorable holiday experience.
