The location is perfect. A few steps from the centre of the village, from the beach and from The Ship. I love the East Neuk vibe of people passing the window, snippets of conversation all the while you are invisible. ‘Sit ootery ‘ catches the sun almost all day.
A wee table in the kitchen would be perfect.
