Had a fantastic week at Fishermans loft. The flat is clean and comfortable with everything we needed, but the best feature had to be the view! Fantastic! We spent hours watching the harbour and sea.

Beautiful Views from living room across the Firth of Forth. Accommodation very clean and best equipped self catering accommodation we have stayed at for a very long time The accommodation felt a lot bigger than the pictures do it justice and very bright and airy. Would highly recommend accommodation and Smokehouse Restaurant opposite the property.

The flat was spotlessly clean and comfortable and in a great location with a good view overlooking the harbour. However, a small word of warning the access stairs are quite steep and could be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Also the bedroom was quite tight. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay and would happily book again.

Of course we would recommand this nice, cosy, clean, well equipped and excellent located property to all our friends. You have a great view over the sea, which is better than any television programme. Thank you very much for the binoculars in the apartment! St. Monan is a lovely, quiet place, great for walks along the coastal path, watching birds. Read moreAt the small shop from the post office you can get everything for your basic needs.

The best asset to this property was its location. The photos do give a representation of the apartment but unfortunately the finishing details are somewhat lacking. The entrance stairway and outside of the building are rather sad and in need of maintenance. On arrival the apartment had a very strange aroma and I had to attempt to open all the windoRead morews which proved a challenge. If you have trouble sleeping bring an eye over as the curtains in the bedroom do not keep much light out. Hide

It wasnt a cottage! We found it very basic, compared to other properties we have been to. A few things needed replacing. I.e. kettle, toaster, teapot . We have never stayed in a place that didnt leave a welcome pack. Even caravans do it.

This apartment has a lovely view across the harbour towards Bass Rock on the other side of the Firth. The details for the apartment should emphasise the TWO steep staircases to get up to the loft, and that there is a locked door between them. This was awkward when bring up the suitcases. There is an excellent Michelin Guide restaurant in the villagRead moree (Craig Millar) and there are many lovely walks straight out of the door. We did find a charging point too. Hide
