Creewood | Elie

Tucked in the heart of a popular East Neuk village, this contemporary two-storey cottage has been cleverly extended by its architect owner to create bright, characterful accommodation just a short walk from the beach and local amenities. Traditional touches – exposed stone walls, natural wood finishes and a cosy wood-burning stove – blend beautifully with modern designer interiors, making it a stylish yet relaxed coastal base. Wi-Fi is provided. On the ground floor, there’s a welcoming entrance hall, a handy utility room with washing machine and fridge, and two comfortable bedrooms. The first has a king-size bed and ample storage, while the second offers a double bed plus an additional single, with warm timber flooring and charming original features. A modern, fully tiled wet-room style shower room with wash hand basin and WC completes this level – ideal after a day on the coastal path or nearby golf courses. Upstairs (please note: the staircase is not suitable for small toddlers), the open-plan living space is where this cottage really shines. Bright and inviting, it offers glimpses of the sea to the front and views towards the golf course at the rear. Comfy seating, an LCD TV and a wood-burning stove make it perfect for cosy evenings in. The modern, well-equipped kitchen opens out through French doors to a decked terrace, ideal for alfresco dining; a clever folding dining table and chairs can be used indoors or out depending on the weather. Outside, the rear garden is mostly grass, giving a simple, relaxed space to sit out or let children play, with the terrace above providing a lovely vantage point for a quiet morning coffee or an evening drink. Bed layout: 1 x king-size bedroom 1 x double bedroom + 1 x single bed
