Out of this world…
2nd year here, love it, great cottage and really nice owners, very helpful. This year we saw dolphins too! The tidal pool is a must and has a very safe concreted toddler pool. The East Neil of Fife is tremendous, loads to see and do, and what a great view when you come back to the cottage!
We will be back….

Beautiful setting and a welcoming host
Beautiful setting, and a welcoming host. It would be difficult to find a better situated house , spacious rooms and wonderful views- just a shame it wasn’t really warm enough to use the outside area, but hope to be back to try again . Walked lots of the wonderful fife coastal path

The most amazing place and vista
Simply stunning location and the views are incredible, I’ve attached some sun rise and view of the pool.
The cottage is really beautiful, well set up and stylish to a very high standard inside. It’s location is unbeatable and walking distance to the tidal pool, Anstruther, and other villages….
The hosts are great and nearby for any issues, we had none and will be back!

Stunning accommodation for our weekend away
Stayed at Salt Herrings from 11th - 14th February 2022. Totally blown away with our accommodation. Beautiful decor, very clean, cosy, stunning, breath taking views & the owners Ian & Janis were absolutely lovely & made us feel very welcome. Ian put the heating on for our arrival so it was lovely & warm when we arrived & he let us settle in before he popped over to introduce himself which was really nice & advised us if we needed anything or any questions to just knock on their door as they were close by.
There was a cd player & a choice of CD's & a dvd player with a choice of DVD'S & a fabulous log burner.
Loved how the living area was upstairs & downstairs were the bedrooms, bathrooms & utility room with the spectacular views from each room.
We were supplied with toiletries, towels, biscuits, tea, coffee & milk which was a lovely touch again.
This accommodation without a doubt has the WOW factor & is, by far, the best Self catering accommodation we have stayed in with the loveliest owners.
Thank you Ian & Janis for making our stay a wonderful, memorable break.

5 star self catering
A recommendation from a friend saw us book the salt herrings for a mini break of 5 nights , the 2 of us were blown away with the set up , two bedrooms , two bedrooms on the ground floor , living and kitchen upstairs and as you get to the top of the stairs the view comes in to sight and you can’t help but stop , every day we came back we would stop and just look , john the owner spoke to us on arrival explaining a few things and then left us too it but we also had the benefit of him being a near neighbour if there was an issue ,
Fantastic break in great surroundings and if we can we will get back to salt herrings soon

Excellent seaside retreat
My husband, my 2 teenage children and I stayed at the Salt Herrings in Cellardyke, which was absolutely brilliant. The accommodation was lovely and spotless and you had everything you needed for your stay, including binoculars to look out at the views.
The views were stunning especially since we had brilliant weather, but would still look great in the winter months. The location is beautiful and very relaxing and only a short walk into Anstruther.
The kids enjoyed the sea pool and the watersports right on our doorstep, and also at the lovely beach at Elie.
The host Ian was very pleasant and welcoming and ensured we were happy with our accommodation and if we needed anything just to give him a shout.
Definitely would recommend and stay again. Fabulous.
