Norloch Cottage | Elie
Beautifully Refurbished Traditional Cottage Steps from Elie Beach | Sleeps 6
Set just a few steps from Elie's long, sandy beach, Norloch Cottage is a beautifully refurbished traditional cottage on sought-after South Street — a stylish coastal base for families, friends or golfers looking to enjoy the East Neuk. Elegantly decorated and thoughtfully extended to the rear, it combines original character with luxury finishes throughout.
The cottage sits only a short stroll from the High Street's bakery, newsagent, chemist, deli, ice cream and gift/coffee shop, so you can settle in and live like a local from day one. It sleeps up to 6 guests across three bedrooms, with two bathrooms.
The Space
Offering 100 m² of accommodation, the ground floor flows from a bright reception hall into an elegant sitting room with windows to both front and rear, original shutters, a feature fireplace with open fire and a cosy snug area — perfect for relaxed evenings after a day on the beach or the fairways.
At the back, a stunning contemporary kitchen/dining extension is flooded with natural light from pitched glazing and Velux windows, with glass folding doors opening straight onto the garden so you can drift in and out with ease.
