If you love getting away to coastal Fife and the East Neuk, you'll love the Robinson Crusoe Retreat Cottages in picturesque Lower Largo. Ideal for couples of families, there's a choice of one or three bedroom cottages perfectly located within a few strides of the beach and the Fife Coastal Path, and just a short drive from Elie Holiday Park. Dogs are welcome and there's free Wifi too.
103 Robinson Crusoe Retreat is peacefully located in a quiet corner of Lower Largo, a picturesque East Neuk seaside village, within a few strides of the beach and the Fife Coastal Path, and just a short drive from Elie Holiday Park.
Set over two levels, the unique holiday accommodation has been beautifully restored to make the most of traditional features and comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower room with wc, a spacious open-plan living/dining area and a fully fitted kitchen (including: fridge-freezer, electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine).
The master and upper twin bedrooms afford superb sea views over the rooftops towards the sea. At bedtime, keep the windows ajar and you can hear the tranquil sound of the waves lapping along the shoreline - magical.
The Retreat is part of the delightful Crusoe Building, a B-listed property which lies on the original site of the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk - the original castaway that inspired Daniel Defoe to write the tales of Robinson Crusoe. Thoughtfully decorated with an eclectic collection of Robinson Crusoe memorabilia, the retreat offers a truly unique holiday experience.
Free WiFi is provided in Robinson Crusoe’s Retreat for your enjoyment.
There is a small garden to the rear and guests are also welcome to enjoy the bar, restaurant and free entertainment at nearby Elie Holiday Park at their leisure (10 mins drive). Elie Holiday Park can also be accessed via the Fife Coastal Path (3 miles) and is home to the UK's only Robinson Crusoe Adventure Park - great for kids.
Please note that the Robinson Crusoe Retreat is accessible via several steps to the rear of the property, with entry at the first floor level. One of the twin bedrooms has adult-sized bunk beds.
