About this property

Romantic Boutique Bolthole In Pittenweem Near St Andrews. Small dogs welcome.

Kirkgate Cottage - license F 100077F is a pretty and quirky traditional fisherman's cottage that's been refurbished to create a beautiful, modern home. It's situated in the heart of the village of Pittenweem and a short stroll down through one of the many wynds will take you to the only working harbour in the East Neuk.
Kirkgate is modern and has a real contemporary feel about it blending beautifully with the traditional features of the cottage.

Curl up in one of the snugglers in front of the lovely wood burning stove with a good book, to watch the flat screen 32 ins Samsung smart TV with Sky box or just to relax with a good book and listen to the iPod through the BOSE docking system.
We also offer free WiFi.

If you prefer to stay at home and cook up a storm there's a very well equipped modern kitchen to help you. With everything you'd expect from Le Crueset to Alessi and cookery books to a Panini sandwich grill.

The bedroom is accessed down stairs, the large bedroom has a solid ash double bed, crisp cotton bedding, iPod dock, modern lighting and a wall mounted small TV.
The roll top bath in the bedroom is perfect for a relaxing soak after a long walk on the Fife Coastal Path of after a day exploring the lovely East Neuk villages.
Totally refurbished and ultra modern the shower room is spacious with a walk in shower. There is a selection of soaps and bath gels and lotions for your use.
Outside to the front of the property, is a small paved area, where you can sit and watch the world go by.

Charges are inclusive of gas, electricity, linen, towels and kitchen & bathroom essentials.

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.
