Property code: 47388

Situated in the picturesque historic seaside village of Kinghorn, close to the East Neuk, you are but a stone’s throw from the beautiful sandy bay and little harbour, and with the Fife Coastal Path passing through the village, you and your four-legged friend will have a holiday to remember. Whether it’s a dip in the North Sea or a day wandering the woodland trails, there is plenty to get the tail wagging!

The ideal romantic getaway, this stylish well-presented third floor apartment, has been refurbished but still retains period features and charm. After a day soaking up the sea air, shake off the sandy paws and pad into the warm welcome of the kitchen to make a coffee, and perhaps a doggy treat too. Enjoying the magnificent sea views from the lounge, light the wood burner and cuddle up on the sofa as your contented canine basks in the flickering heat in a restful snooze, dreaming of tomorrow’s antics. Awake refreshed to enjoy a morning cuppa on the beach opposite, the perfect place to sit back and relax and look out towards Inchkeith Island as your four-legged friend scampers to his heart’s content.

Stretch those legs with miles of running at the lovely and clean Pettycur Beach (1 miles) and Silver Sands Beach (6.4 miles). Enjoy a piece of history at St Bridget’s Kirk (10 miles), a beautiful and quiet place, or scamper the trails around Townhill Country Park (14.5 miles). At Blairadam Wood (15.5 miles), your dog can be off lead and there are plenty of interesting bits for them to explore and have fun. For those who love a challenge, walk from Kinghorn Loch to The Binn (2 miles), a rewarding ‘sea to summit’ walk with one of the best views of the Firth of Forth.

A very well equipped apartment, very spacious lounge and separate kitchen. A very comfortable bed and sofa. All sorts of supplies in the cupboards and drawers, just like home!

This is a beautiful apartment extremely close to a clean, sandy beach. Excellent for dogs as the beaches are dog friendly. Plenty to do in the surrounding area and good connections to larger towns via the train with the station being 5 minutes away. It's the third time we've been and plan to visit again.

We found Providence House by chance after being let down by the owners of another property in 2022.

Great views , well designed and thought through flat, a home from home. Lots of space for two, plus a dog . A fab kitchen with lots of the right stuff in it. Large spacious lounge, with a few interior design ideas from the mid century, stylish and works well. Bedroom linen and towels were lovely . Stairs up to flat , beach on doorstep.

Lovely apartment in a lovely location. It was warm, even in freezing conditions (December 15-19-22) and the log burner made it particularly cosy . We were visiting family in Edinburgh (Stockbridge) and the journey across the Queensferry bridge was spectacular and provided easy access to that area of the city.
