Anstruther Beachfront Accommodation

Excellent property directly opposite the port. Old buildings as expected, but beautifully refurbished. My room was large, spotlessly clean and full of nice touches, including lots of tabletops and drawers. The big surprise was the bathroom. It was enormous with a large modern soaker tub, separate shower stall, wc and vanity. (The only downside is trying to find a parking spot which is very difficult throughout this town, so be prepared to drop off, or walk with your luggage.) The restaurant is outstanding and much in demand. You absolutely must make a reservation! I had a delicious appetizer salad, wonderful fish and chips as a main and a selection of ice cream and sorbet for dessert. All was beautifully presented and promptly served. What really stood out were the staff, who were friendly and eager to help with any request. An excellent team of locals who work hard but obviously enjoy it. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great value

Okay, so as long as you park within the parking space lines (for fire safety reasons) your stay at the Spindrift Guest House should be a great experience. The honesty bar in the lounge is extremely well-stocked. We did not partake, but the whisky selection according to my husband was excellent. The room is spacious and well-decorated. The bathroom is small and the height of the bath may be a bit tricky for some. No baths are allowed and I found the water temperature on the tepid side when I showered before 6am. The breakfast was a standout (especially the local black pudding if you are into that, and you should be!) There was local granola, fresh fruit salad, yoghurts and a full array of hot breakfast items. The hosts interacted well with all guests and had loads of local knowledge (try the Dory Bistro if you like superb seafood). The hosts went out of their way to let us have our breakfast a tad early as we needed to be on our way first thing. Altogether a very well priced stay.
