About this property
Ground Floor garden apartment only a few steps from the shore.
Walker's Neuk is a beautifully presented cottage apartment located in the heart of the charming fishing village of Anstruther. A ground floor apartment with a sunny, west aspect garden on two levels, shared with the upper apartment. The second level offers sea views of the Bass Rock and the Firth of Forth towards North Berwick. The tranquil garden features evidence of the workshops of the Balmerino Monks which were housed on the site in the 13th Century. Walker’s Neuk was built in the 18th century and used to house the local Blacksmith. An ideal location for visitors to the East Neuk of Fife, the cottage is set within the narrow streets of Anstruther, great for exploring the village and the working harbour which is close by. It is located opposite the Michelin starred restaurant, The Cellar and is a few steps from the shore where you will find award-winning fish and chip shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and a range of local shops. You can enjoy walks along the Fife Coastal Path which runs through the village and afterwards, relax in the garden or in the comfortable lounge next to the wood –burning stove. Walker’s Neuk is the ideal base for visits to museums, historic castles, beautiful gardens and for exploring the picturesque East Neuk villages and coastal landscape. Boat trips to the world renowned Isle of May Bird Sanctuary and Observatory also run from Anstruther. The area is famous for golf courses with a great selection of high standard links courses in the surrounding area. Anstruther is a 15 – 20 minute drive to St Andrews and its world-class Championship courses, Edinburgh, Perth, Stirling and Gleneagles are all within an hour’s drive. The accommodation comprises a stepped entrance hall through to a spacious living/dining room with log-burning stove, a well equipped kitchen with carved wooden breakfast bar. The spacious double-bedroom has a 6ft zip/link bed (twin beds if required) with an additional guest bed. Bath and over-bath shower with toilet. Wi-Fi and TV app entertainment are included.

We had such a fantastic time staying at this lovely apartment and exploring the area. The apartment was clean and cozy and had all the amenities to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Sam was very welcoming and very responsive. He gave us great tips on the local area. We highly recommend this stay and hope to return to it sometime in the future ourselves!
Fantastic place. Lovely and clean with nice garden and very well stocked. The hosts were incredibly helpful with pre information and on the arrival day.

The apartment was extremely comfortable with a good standard of furnishings. There are good heavy curtains to keep the bedroom dark for night-time. It has a lovely modern bathroom with good shower and well appointed kitchen. The central heating was good, easy to adjust and keep the flat cosy in winter. I found the location perfect for all the lovely things to do in Anstruther and surrounding areas. Communication from Sam before arrival and during my visit was always prompt and pleasant. Thank you!

Situation, area ,proximity to east Fife ,comfortable furnishings. All in all a great base to explore and enjoy the East Neuk.
Excellent. Provided everything we needed for our stay. Enjoyed proccecco which was a lovely touch and very welcoming.Cottage located so near to harbour and restaurants which was great as my husband disabled and can't walk far.
Excellent apartment. Home from home. Great central location. Comfortable and cosy with great wood burner. Great communication and lots of information about area from owner.Would definitely return.
Beautiful apartment with all the amenities only a very short stroll to the waterfront with shops, cafes, pub and the Fisheries museum. Lovely having the quiet garden at the back.
Lovely cottage great communication with owner. Cottage is as described. Very cosy with the log fire. Lovely bottle of prosecco waiting for us a lovely touch.
Very nice apartment! We appreciated the amenities and made use of the washer and heated drying rack which was very efficient. Spacious and relaxing, could not have asked for a nicer place to stay
Owner was a great communicator and made sure we had all the info we needed. Thanks!!
Heavy rain for most of our 5 days but flat warm and cumfy and visits to local restaurants v. enjoyable - esp. The Dory in Pittenweem and The Dreel in Anster.
One small issue - slipped in the bath, bath mat needed.
Very comfortable, lovely bedding, well equipped, log burner. Anstruther is delightful.
Struggled a bit with the TV, too much tech for us. Though we did eventually see a couple of films.
The cottage is as lovely as we remembered from first time round.
Walkers Neuk is immaculately clean, well-equipped and ideally located to take advantage of the local eateries and drinkeries :)
Comfortable, homely and within very easy walking distance to the main drag.
We hope to be able to book again for next year as we've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves the past two years.
Beautiful cosy property for 2 we visited in the winter so did not use the garden. Bed very comfy. Very good bathroom with an outstanding shower. Parking to unload so a bit problematic but once unpack we parked further up the hill and was lucky to get a space the evening before leaving. Would recommend especially for 2 people
Our third time to stay here, because it’s super in location, coziness, and comfort. You cannot beat the walled back garden for a beautiful view. It’s perfect for a couple - within walking distance of the Anstruther harbor, butcher, baker, and Fife Walking Trail. Wonderful views everywhere, and warm and cozy to return to after a cold damp walk. Anstruther Fish Bar (and others), The Dreel Tavern, and the Cellar, 3 diverse eateries, are our favorites, but the Coop supplies a surprisingly reasonable variety of good food for nights in within easy walking distance.
A fantastic winter week holiday in Anstruther. Great weather and a lovely apartment.

The property was supplied with everything we needed for our stay, including an extremely comfortable bed. The host provided more than enough helpful information, answered our queries promptly, and went beyond what was expected to help us with a special request. A great place to stay!
