About this property
Settled in the charming seaside village of Aberdour is this lovely two-bedroom, first-floor flat, 32 High Street, enjoying a wonderful position on the village's High Street as its name suggests. Just a stone's throw from the 'Fife Riviera' of Black Sands and Silver Sands, 32 High Street is also within easy reach of Edinburgh, perfect for a family of four or a couple seeking a relaxing break to Fife. From the street, head through a timber gate and into a walkway before passing the pretty outdoor seating area, perfect for two guests to use near the shared entrance, before ascending stone steps to your private front door. Take the first right after coming through the front door and find the bright and open kitchen/diner, with a table and chairs taking centre stage and a pretty outlook of the neighbour's private garden (unfortunately no access) from the window with a window seat, along with a great range of appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine. Relax in the sitting room at the end of the hall, furnished with a sofa and armchair to unwind into your evening as you enjoy a favourite show or new release on the Smart TV, whilst a vintage tiled fireplace adds character to the setting. Freshen up in the bathroom shared between the two bedrooms, complete with a bath and overhead shower, as well as a heated towel rail. Retire to the master bedroom after a busy day, featuring an attractive armchair and a king-size bed, with a large dressing table and mirror, and a lovely view of the high street below, whilst the second bedroom boasts two single beds, which can be zipped/linked together to make a king-size bed. When you need anything from essentials to ingredients, simply step outside and discover the village's amenities on your doorstep, with a Post Office combined with a village delicatessen found opposite the flat, along with two local pubs, a bakery and a cafe. Aberdour is home to one of the finest beaches in Scotland, that of Silver Sands overlooking the Firth of Forth towards Edinburgh, with pristine sands, it attracts water sports enthusiasts and families seeking a fun beach day. Take a day trip travelling up Fife's coastline and spotting wildlife like the multitude of seabirds living on the scattering of rocky outcrops, along with grey seals of which there is a large population in the area. Aberdour's second beach, Black Sands, is close to the flat and is another delightful spot to enjoy whatever time of year, sitting next to Aberdour Golf Club which offers 'golf with a view' overlooking the gorgeous seascapes. Make sure you pay a visit to Aberdour's most historic attraction, Aberdour Castle, thought to be one of Scotland's oldest stone castles and built in the 1100s, with visitors now able to explore the impressive complex including walled gardens and terraces. Venture south and into the bustling capital city of Edinburgh for a world of more attractions, from The Queen's official Scottish residence in Holyrood Park to the Scottish National Gallery of Modem Art, Edinburgh Zoo and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, all amidst a dizzyingly large selection of wonderful restaurants, bars, pubs and shops along iconic streets like Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Explore the Fife coast on your next Scottish adventure with loved ones at 32 High Street in Aberdour. EPC Rating: Band C

Every amenity you can think of contained there. Lots of interesting booklets about Aberdour and Fife in general. Castle close by, follow Shore Road down to the beach. Eateries nearby if you donât fancy cooking. Mobility issues like me? There is a set of stone stairs leading up to the front door, but they were doable. Although the sofa looked inviting, too low for me but I used the chair near the window and its shower over bath. We really enjoyed our week there, in large, high-ceilined room - light and airy and we felt at home straight away.

I would definitely recommend. Everything that we needed was there and flat was well maintained and clean. Only reason we could see that it wasnât a 4* is because it has on street parking. We always got a space nearby.

The rooms are a good size, cozy, thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Everything needed for a short break was there, and instructions/suggestions clear and helpful. Communication with the owners was easy and welcoming. The Christmas tree and welcome hamper were a lovely touch, and very much appreciated. We would highly recommend this property.
