The Deckhouse St Monans, Fife

The Deckhouse is a gorgeous, open plan house, sitting on the cliffs with panormaic sea views. The self-catering property is surrounded by decking and the front deck juts out over the cliff. The back gate leads down to the Fife Coastal Path and is ideal for those who enjoy coastal walks, with or without a dog.

This stunning, spacious house is situated in the pretty Fife fishing village of St Monans. In summer, sit outside on the decking or in the garden; in winter sit inside and enjoy the mesmerising seascape through the floor to ceiling windows (where you may be lucky enough to glimpse a passing dolphin).

St Monans is one of the most attractive of the little fishing villages in the picturesque East Neuk of Fife. Explore the quaint village with its seafaring history. Only a short distance (7 miles) from the historic St Andrews it is a perfect venue from which to explore the delights of Fife. There are lovely coastal walks, pleasant local golf courses to play, while from Elie (4 miles) you can hire cycles and boats or take boat trips to view the seabird colonies on the Island of May. If you potter along the coast, by way of the neighbouring villages of Anstruther and Crail, you will come to St Andrews with its golf courses, long sandy beaches and historic ruined castle and Abbey. Just outside St Andrews, there is Craigtoun Park with boating, trampolines, miniature railway, crazy golf etc - ideal for children. The numerous sandy beaches and coves are also a great draw for children - and adults too!
