The house is in a beautiful setting with an amazing patio view. Everything in the house has obviously been chosen with care and contributes to a relaxing stay. Beds are extremely comfortable (heated electric blanket makes for a great nights sleep) and kitchen has all the equipment that you would need to easily self cater. Totally loved Martha’s Harbour and thoroughly recommend it.

Our stay at St. Monan's was amazing- great scenic view and only 20 minutes from the train station to take into Edinburgh. The last night there we were not able to part near the residence and had to go to the overflow lot.

We really enjoyed our week at Martha's Harbour. We liked being in St Monans and the cottage was a great location for strolling down to the Harbour, or accessing the coast path towards Elie. We loved the sea view, and sitting out on the patio in the warm sun at the start of the week felt quite Mediterranean. The beds were very comfortable and warm, the kitchen, though small, had everything we needed, and the lounge was great for relaxing. There was always parking space on the gravelled area just above the cottage. Thank you Neil for the welcome prosecco and for a great stay in the East Neuk.

Stylish, clean and comfortable cottage with beautiful sea views from the well furnished patio.We were able to park in one of the three parking spaces next to the cottage all week with no issues.Bit of a squeeze around the king bed and in the small shower cubicle. Lovely coastal walk to Pittenweem and gorgeous beach walks at Elie and St Andrews. Great seafood restaurants all along the coastline including Craig Miller in St Monans, Dory Bistro in Pittenweem and Shoregate in Crail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
