Laundry facilities are provided, with washer/dryer machine in the utility store, iron/board/hi-dri available and outdoor washing line. The property also has a travel cot and high-chair available on request. The cottage is all on the ground level and located down a short gravel footpath, so offers a nice quiet stay, suitable for all ages.

Elie has a lot to offer - golf, tennis, putting, library, bowling, bike hire, watersports centre, beach activities, coastal walks including the famous "chain walk" and of course there are a number of wonderful local restaurants, cafes and pubs. As well as nearby St Andrews which is only a 20 minute drive away. Elie is a perfect location for exploring the East Neuk of Fife. The cottage and garden area are all yours during the stay. Access to keys is through a coded keybox - for security of other guests, the code will be provided one week before your stay. The property is self-contained and has everything you should need - including a folder of local info and instructions for all appliances should you need them. However, I'm contactable on mobile if any problems during the stay, and our housekeeper is local in case of any emergencies. Helena Cottage is wonderful for a holiday - a great sandy beach a few hundred yards away, golf, walking and watersports. The nearby Pavilion has tennis & bowling, and is one of several nearby restaurants. It is also well situated for trips to other places including St Andrews and Edinburgh, There are bus services through Elie and Earlferry, but having a car is best mode of transport. Nearest airports are Edinburgh and Dundee airports, and nearest train station is in Cupar. Access is down a 40-yard gravel path - while the path and house are all on one level and would be suitable to those with limited mobility, it is not really suited to wheelchair access. Changeover day is Saturday, so weekly bookings start/end on Saturday unless by alternative arrangement. Part-week bookings are available off peak, and usually either start or end on a Saturday. The property has a travel cot & mattress and high chair available for you to set up and use (in outhouse) - pls bring own cot linen if wish to use this. Linen is available for the corner sofa bed should your group need it.
