Description
The Puffling is a place where you can really relax and feel at home! The property is perfectly located just one road back from Anstruther's historic harbour and lively seafront. So it feels wonderfully quiet and yet all the quaint little tearooms, gift shops shops and colourful bustle of this traditional Scottish fishing village are only a few short steps away at the end of the road.
Our lovely 2 bedroom holiday apartment has recently been decorated to the highest standards giving it a fresh and contemporary seaside look and an open, spacious feel. It has two generous double bedrooms with comfortable king size beds. One bedroom also has an optional single guest bed for families with children.
The living/dining room is set up for relaxing evenings: There is a large smart tv with Sky and Freewiew, an Alexa, a chest of games, a DVD player and a little collection of books. Or you could just sit in the armchair by the window and watch the sun go down over the sea!
The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering guests with all of the utensils and main kitchen appliances necessary for preparing your own meals should you with to do so.
The family bathroom has a large bath and multi function shower including a rainfall shower head. Basic toiletries are provided. Please bring your own rubber ducky!
The property also has the use of a shared garden that you can use freely. There is a barbecue and garden furniture for you and we highly recommend the sea views from the top of the garden! The garden is completely enclosed which makes it ideal for children and pets.
We pride ourselves on being a child friendly holiday home. High chairs and cot beds can be provided on request and we encourage our guests to share any specific requirements with us prior to their arrival. There will also be a welcome pack tailored to you waiting for you, because we know how important it is to get your holiday off to a perfect start.
We also love your four-pawed best buddies and go the extra mile to make dogs welcome with a treat! We even have a dog bed, dog towels, bowls etc. Anstruther is a very dog-friendly place and there are many excellent walks nearby. We are very happy to recommend places that will welcome dogs on the premised too. Just ask!
For our golfers we even have secure ground floor storage for your golf bags. Please ask so we can arrange access.
Located in the county of Fife, Anstruther is the largest of a string of picturesque, traditional fishing villages along this lovely stretch of Scotland’s coastline. The charming harbour and buildings that line the waterfront at Anstruther give the village a picture-postcard quality. The laid-back atmosphere that pervades the village adds to the feeling of tranquillity that envelops you when you are here. The history of Anstruther as a main centre for the fishing industry can be explored at the Scottish Fisheries Museum, located near the harbour. If history is not your thing, you can still enjoy the delights of the local fishing industry by sampling the menu at the famous Anstruther Fish Bar, which has won many awards over the years, including UK Fish and Chip Shop of the Year.
After exploring the quaint cobbled streets and browsing the shops, take a boat trip from the harbour to the Isle of May, a nature reserve in the Firth of Forth. Here you may be able to spot seals and our famous puffins, as well as other local wildlife. Sea angling trips can also be arranged locally, and golfers will find a great selection of top-quality links courses in the area. St Andrews Links is just a twenty-minute drive away.
There are also many fabulous beaches and other attractions nearby. Anstruther itself has two beaches: the small harbour beach with its quaint stepping stones and the golden sands of Billow Ness Beach. Nextdoor Cellardyke also has a beach and even a salt water swimming pool. And a short drive or bus ride away there are much larger beaches, for exmple at Kingsbarns, Elie and St Andrews.
And last but not least, if you are a walker, Anstruther is and ideal location to explore the wonderful Fife Coastal Path. Crail to one side and Pittenweem to the other side are both a pleasant ramble away!

The Puffling
Such a lovely apartment, beautifully decorated, spacious and light. comfortable beds. Metres away from the Main Street. Perfect location. A delight.

Great location and amenities
We had a comfortable, enjoyable time in Anstruther while in the Puffling. The flat had plenty of room and absolutely everything we needed.

What a gem!
We loved our stay at the Puffling! The flat and area of Anstruther is super dog friendly even left us a few treats for the pup. Everything you need for a self catered stay, and a short walk to a beaches and shops and restaurants. Garden is superb with a nice sea view at the top and fully enclosed so the dog didn’t take himself to the beach! Loved every second 10/10 would recommend.

Short break in a lovely flat, well appointed and close to all amenities. Lovely touch included treats for both the humans and our 4 legged friend. The flat has a well appoint kitchen if you do choose to make or reheat any item😊 There are lots of eateries in Anstruther that are dog friends, both for sitting in and take away. The Fife coast line is a lovely place to visit and the flat is well placed to visit them all.

A lovely place to stay
We really can't say enough about our stay at The Puffling. The location was perfect, quiet, comfortable, well equipped, and very convenient to both the town and the Fife Coastal Pathway, which we used to visit the neighboring towns. Anstruther is a lovely seaside town, with a great mix of restaurants, from fish and chip shops like the Wee Chippy, to more upscale and delicious Dreel Tavern. The Puffling is also conveniently located directly across the street the Michelin-starred Cellar, and we had one of the best dining experiences of our lives there. The Coastal pathway also gave us easy access to the neighboring towns, and provides wonderful views of the coast and surrounding area. All in all, it was perfect, and I'm only sorry I can only give the Puffling and our hosts Angela and Bernie five stars.

Lovely flat on first floor of a building one street back from the harbour. Dog friendly and tasty welcome treats left for both dogs and humans.😃 Well laid out and spotlessly clean with lovely decor. Perfect position for exploring Anstruther and surrounding area. Parking in street outside can be busy but clears in the evening. Gem of a place with first class host. We’ll be back ðŸ‘
