1 / 24The Cormorant
Anstruther, Fife
A luxurious detached lodge for four near Anstruther with spectacular sea views, a fully enclosed patio with a private hot tub, a covered deck and one dog welcome.
Spectacular views over the Firth of Forth greet you the moment you step into The Cormorant, where a beautiful picture window in the hallway frames the sea. This luxurious, stylish detached lodge sits in a peaceful spot in the East Neuk of Fife, a dog friendly retreat for four guests and one dog, with a private hot tub on its fully enclosed patio.
Unwinding after a day out comes easily in the open plan living space. The lounge area has a wood burner, Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker, with large patio doors leading straight outside and magnificent views beyond them, and the bespoke kitchen, wine cooler included, has a dining table that takes in the view too, while the dog stretches out in the warmth of the stove.
Both super-king rooms can be split into twins, each with a Smart TV. One has an en suite bathroom with underfloor heating, bath and shower, plus patio doors to the sea views; the other has patio doors, a picture window over the sea and countryside, and an en suite shower room, also with underfloor heating. Outside, the spacious fully enclosed patio is a safe haven for children and dogs, with the hot tub, a charcoal BBQ and a covered deck with twinkling star LED lighting for evenings of stargazing.
Anstruther, a pretty coastal town with an attractive harbour and the Scottish Fisheries Museum, is close at hand. Bikes can pick up the cycle routes that run past the end of the road, the Fife Coastal Path is a joy to walk with the dog, and the beach is 2 miles away. St Andrews, home of golf and the legendary Old Course, is within easy reach.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Cormorant dog friendly?
Yes, The Cormorant welcomes one dog. The lodge has an enclosed garden which makes it a comfortable base for a dog, and if the spot in front of the wood burner is anything to go by, they tend to settle in quickly. The surrounding area is genuinely excellent for dogs too, with the coastal path right at the end of the road and beaches like Kingsbarns within a short drive.
Are dogs allowed at The Cormorant year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but nothing in the details suggests otherwise. If you're planning a specific dates trip, it's always worth confirming directly with the property to be sure.
What should I know before visiting The Cormorant with my dog?
The Cormorant accepts one dog, so it's worth bearing that in mind if you're considering booking alongside the neighbouring lodge, The Stork, as two couples with dogs would need to check arrangements for each property. The enclosed garden is a practical plus for keeping dogs secure, and the coastal path passes the end of the road, making it easy to head straight out for a walk. Kingsbarns beach is just a few minutes' drive away and is particularly good at low tide.
