Stenton Cottage

Overview

Stenton Cottage sits at the head of the tree-lined Toll Green, right at the heart of the village with the sea front and local shops each within two minutes' walk.

The villages of Elie & Earlsferry are an ancient Royal Burgh. Between them they have four beaches with the main beach providing a vast expanse of sand and hundreds of interesting rock pools at low tide. Elie Cricket Club play their home games on the Harbour beach during the Summer months keenly watched by dozens enjoying lunch in the sun on the terrace of the Ship Inn.

In Elie, holidaymakers can enjoy water sports like windsurfing, sailing, and sea fishing. Tuition and equipment hire including bikes is available. Activities at the local Sports Centre include golf (9 & 18 hole), tennis, short tennis, putting and bowling. Tennis and golf lessons are available.

Elie is on the Fife Coast Path with St Monans, Pittenweem and Anstruther easily reachable - and there's a good bus service back!

Elie & Earlsferry between them have three pubs serving food, a restaurant, Coffee Shop and a good selection of local shops.

Along the coast are quaint fishing villages like Pittenweem and old harbours like Cellardyke and the much-photographed Crail. Five miles off the coast is the Isle of May, which is a seabird reserve. The Historic University town of St.Andrews is 12miles away by road. It has excellent, shops, pubs, restaurants, a Sea Life Centre, Golf Museum and the famous Royal and Ancient Golf Course.
