About the host

Hosted by Cathy Kirk

Host profile image
We are Cathy & Douglas and have now retired so enjoying all that the change of lifestyle has to offer!
We have been enjoying travelling abroad in our Motorhome since retiring and when not on the road we are in Edinburgh.... or Pittenweem!
We love the relaxation and peace and quiet in Pittenweem and the surrounding villages, but of course always manage a wee visit to St Andrews for a spot of shopping and a long walk on the beach.
We have a Cocker Spaniel - Bella who loves the Fife Coastal Path and keeps us fit.

Why they chose this property

We just loved the quirkiness of Kirkgate and the fact that it was for two. We wanted a bolthole that wasn't too far away, was modern and relaxing and after doing a fair bit of work on the cottage we hope we've achieved that.
My surname is Kirk and the fact that the cottage was already named Kirkgate Cottage and is on Kirkgate was an added bonus!!!! Haha....

What makes this property unique

Kirkgate is a quirky, pretty cottage. It's a quiet and relaxing wee place for two with all you need for a great romantic break.
We always feel refreshed after a few nights at the cottage and sleep great because it's so quiet.
There's a lovely roll top bath in the bedroom to have a soak after a long walk on the Coastal Path.
