Summary: Very well equipped property, comfortable beds, lots of storage, well proportioned rooms, high quality finish all round. The panoramic views across the Forth are spectacular I could have spent all day just watching the clouds as they piled up on the horizon. The kitchen lacked nothing but a tea pot so we bought one just to make it perfect. Quick response from the owner to any communication. St Monans is a very quiet place but pretty. Lots of walkers pass by on the Fife coastal path so if bobble hats are your thing you can sit in the window and wave to them. Highly recommended.

Summary: Rockslea is, quite simply, stunning. Clean, tidy and equipped with everything you need, whilst retaining the charm and character of it's time.The perfect home from home to explore the lical area and beyond.We had the most amazing week here, and will definitely be booking it again in the future

Summary: Our 1850's Fisherman's Cottage was absolutely stunning! The cottage is super clean and has all of the amenities & comfort you desire. There is a bonus of 2 bathrooms, beautiful bedrooms and the most comfortable beds. Having said all of that, the most impressive thing for me was the cottage location. Gus & Lindsey have chosen the best cottage in the village for the spectacular views from every window and every time you step out your front door.......A COMPLETE WOW FACTOR!NOTE: I left the windows slightly open most of the time. Litterally, you are right againt the sea, so it was magic smelling the fresh seaside air and listening to the waves role in against the rocks during high tide was priceless!The quaint fishing village of St. Monans is peaceful and very beautiful, so take advantage and have your cell phone and or best camera ready because you will have stunning views in every direction.Our hosts Gus & Lindsey were so nice and very helpful in communicating all the important information we needed to know before our arrival, so they simply made it a breeze. My only regret is that I really wish VRBO had made room to include some of our photos of this charming fisherman's town they call St. Monans........ It's breathtakingly beautifulPS - The 2 min walk to the Giddy Gannet is a must if you like the best coffees & fresh baked scones & various other morning treats, plus a nice glass of wine or beer with home made sandwiches in the afternoon.

Summary: En suite toilet not working. Unable to flush Stairs steep with poor banisters access to second bathroom difficult to negotiate. Left properly after 3 nights SAT/SUN/MON. No refund offered
Gordon A. Apr 20, 2025 03:53:03 AM
Summary: Very comfortable, picturesque cottage on the sea front. Lots of room for the 4 of us. Slightly let down by the tiny size of the general toilet which was smaller than the ensuite master. Neither toilet had room to swing a cat and for a large bloke like me, felt very claustrophobic. A bin for female sanitary products in either bathroom would be good as well as a towel rail in each. I realise space is limited but those should be prerequisites.Other than that, the accomodation was well appointed with everything you'd need for a short break provided by the owners. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay, the house was warm and welcoming. The location was slightly tricky for parking as it is in a very narrow street but it was manageable. We would rent this accommodation again and I think that says it all.

Summary: We had an excellent April week staying at Rockslea which is an attractive cottage next to the sea, close to the harbour. It was comfortable and well equipped.

Summary: Perfect for a few days walking with friends
Anne R. Mar 29, 2025 07:35:35 PM
Summary: Beautifully appointed cottage with a wonderful view. Well situated for walking the Fife coastal path. Owner is very quick to respond if needed. The information on the website and guest book needs updating to avoid problems.

Summary: Arrived for a short stay at the cottage. Owners were in touch well in advance with some helpful information. Cottage was fantastic so clean and lovely decor which is a credit to the owners. What a wonderful view and the family had a lovely trip and we will definitely come back. My 6 year old daughter says she loved it and did not want to leave. Thanks for letting us stay!

Summary: A very well presented, comfortable and cozy accommodation, with a lovely kitchen dining area and a great wee sitting room with views to the harbour. The stairs and access to the mid level wet room may be difficult for older or less able folks, as it sits on the curve of the semi-spiral staircase. But that is a minor detail.Master bedroom very comfortable, albeit the en-suite just a wee bit tired and in need of a wee uplift, but again, one shouldn't have to spend any amount of time in there (and it is perfectly acceptable - just being picky!) Wet room has a good shower and great use of the room.Lovely log burner in the kitchen - more for aesthetics really, as the newly installed 'Hive' central heating system is tremendous. Ben linen, towels, kitchen crockery and cutlery and cooking utensils all top notch and a great gas double cooker to cater for all your home-based needs.A home-from-home!And Gus was superb in all dealings I had with him, from queeries around local eateries to the new heating system teething problems, which were fixed the same day. Superb customer service.Not much to do in St Monans itself, but a lovely wee coastal village and a short distance from sister locations with greater choice for food and drink.
