    It's very close to the town center so going for a meal or doing shopping was not a problem at all. The 2 level layout made easy to put my children to bed upstairs and then enjoying the evening downstairs.

We are Gillian and Kenny, we bought Smugglers Loft in 2018 to enjoy holidays and weekends with our family. We love hearing that our guests enjoy our home as much as we do. The Loft is situated in Anstruther, a historic coastal village in the East Neuk of Fife. The property is a traditional 18th century building, access is through a close (outdoors hallway) providing security and shelter from the main street to the front door. There is a staircase leading to the first floor where you'll find the lounge, kitchen and bathroom. Another staircase leads to the second floor with two double bedrooms, master ensuite. Our aim is to provide everything you need for a comfortable stay, with hotel quality mattress toppers, cotton bedding and a hive system to allow guests to control the heating. The spiral staircases may be a challenge for younger children and those with mobility issues. The Loft is situated right on the Coastal Path with the beach a few paces away. There is a regular bus service to nearby pretty coastal villages and St Andrews. The town is bustling with activity with plenty of bars and restaurants, including a Michelin starred restaurant, The Cellar.
