An intriguing retreat in the Scottish town of Inverkeithing, this charming cottage is a perfect couples’ retreat. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom hideaway nestles on a tranquil lane beside leafy Ballast Bank Park. Stroll across to enjoy the pretty park and take in the views over Inner Bay and the Firth of Forth. Wander 0.5 miles into town to stock up and pause in a friendly hostelry for a wee dram. Pick up the Fife Coastal Path 50 metres from the door and visit Bay Beach (0.5 miles). Spend time at Silver Sands Beach, which is popular for swimming and its outlook towards the islands of Inchmickery and Inchcolm. Plan a trip to Scotland’s National Aquarium, Deep Sea World, 2.5 miles away in North Queensferry, and a day in Edinburgh, 15 miles away, to visit the historic castle and climb Arthur’s Seat to admire the impressive panorama.
Step up and into this charming, period bolthole from the quiet, narrow lane. Enter to find welcoming accommodation that was once home to a ropemaker but now offers modern-day levels of comfort and a contemporary finish. With a reverse-level design, its ground floor encompasses a lovely bedroom with a double bed and ample storage. There is also a pretty shower room, where you can refresh yourselves before and after your trips out. Make your way up to the first floor to emerge in the impressive, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This enchanting space has a vaulted ceiling with a striking heavy wooden A-frame made from beams that were once timbers of a ship. Prepare romantic meals in the kitchen area using the tasty Scottish produce you have sourced. Dine in style at the round table as you look out over the park. Cuddle up on the sofa in front of the Smart TV with the contemporary flame-effect gas fire and mood lighting, creating the perfect cosy ambience.
Take your first cup of tea of the day out onto the patio on sunny mornings and take in the scenery. There is secure storage for any outdoor gear, and that on-street parking is available within 50 metres of the cottage.
