From the owner

Seashell Cottage is a charming traditional “home away from home” property located in the heart of the quiet coastal village, Lower Largo. This former fisherman's cottage is situated across the road from Largo Bay making it an extremely popular location for a holiday. Apart from the beautiful beach at Largo there are also superb beaches to be found in nearby Elie and St Andrews. The East Fife costal path extends for 78 miles starting at the Forth Bridge.

There is a good local pub in Lower Largo as well as a hotel at the harbour which serves food daily. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance. The village is famous as the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the sailor who lived as a castaway for 4 years on Juan Fernandez Island and provided inspiration for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. His statue stands above the doorway of his home on the Main Street.

Lower Largo is a great location for golf enthusiasts with several premier golf courses nearby including Lundin Links, St Andrew, Crail, Anstruther and Ladybank. There are also many leisure facilities including walking, water sports and cricket. Tennis, squash and fitness facilities are available in the area.

St Andrews is a short drive (11 miles) and is known worldwide as the home of golf. It is also home to the third oldest University in Scotland and it is well worth a visit to the quaint street and stunning beaches. Edinburgh is approximately and hour's drive from Lower Largo.

The Accommodation:

On the ground floor there is a small hallway giving access to the lounge which is open plan to a dining area and fully fitted kitchen. Upstairs there is a large bathroom and double bedroom (kingsize bed) with ample wardrobe space. The attic bedroom, which is accessed off the main bedroom, has twin beds and a dormer window and due to restricted ceiling height is best suited to children.

The Facilities:
