Norman and I (Coral) are retired. We have lived in St Andrews then Pittenweem for the last 17 years We used to come here as a family on holiday ourselves before we retired. Norman is a keen golfer and we both enjoy walking in the countryside and on the lovely beaches near our home. We are interested in the arts and like going to the theatre and cinema regularly. We also enjoy eating out in the many good restaurants locally. We started home exchanges in 2008 and have now done around 12 exchanges ranging from a weekend in Scotland to longer exchanges in Cape Town, Long Island and Vancouver Island. At the moment we are probably only interested in shorter trips to the UK, Ireland and easily reached destinations in Europe but we will consider and reply to all offers.

Description de notre maison d'échange
Comfortable traditional house with garden in the picturesque fishing village of Pittenweem in the 'East Neuk' of Fife. The village is famous for its Arts Festival in early August every year. Our house was built around 1850 but has now been renovated to a modern standard and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Ground floor: comfortable lounge, double bedroom (super king bed) with ensuite shower room, bathroom/utility room and large well equipped dining kitchen with gas fired Aga. First floor: two more double bedrooms. Two TVs with free satellite channels. One is a smart TV with Wifi connection to stream films, Netflix etc. Garden.
This part of Fife has the best weather in Scotland and summer days are long but please consider other times of year too. As well as gas central heating we have an Aga in the kitchen and a wood burning stove.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
We are located just a few minutes stroll from the local shops, seashore and Pittenweem harbour where the fishing boats still bring in their catch to the local fish market. Discover the local art galleries and craft shops then relax with a hot chocolate in the Cocoa Tree cafe or enjoy a drink in one of the local pubs...maybe a wee 'dram' of whisky!
Walk the coastal path to Anstruther, Crail, St Monans or Elie. Each village in the East Neuk has a charm of its own. Take a boat trip to the Isle of May and admire the puffins and other sea birds.
The beautiful town of St Andrews with it's beaches, castle, cathedral, university, museums, shops, historic buildings and numerous tourist attractions is a 15 minute drive. We've yet to meet anyone who doesn't love St Andrews. It has something for everyone. St. Andrews also has a theatre, cinema and a wide selection of bars and restaurants.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
Fife is a good touring base and also within easy reach of the cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth and Dundee. We are about 1 hour from Edinburgh airport and 2 hours from Glasgow airport. Numerous world class golf courses within easy reach including The Old Course, St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie. A golfers paradise! We reckon there are more than 15 excellent courses within 30 minutes drive. We can even lend you golf clubs! If you prefer to watch the experts there are various tournaments held locally including The Open in 2015. Or come and see the celebrities play alongside the professionals in the Dunhill Championship in early October every year.
For the more active we have tennis courts in the village and a water sports centre in nearby Elie or you could try kite surfing or sand yachting in St Andrews. There are also opportunities for horse riding in the countryside.
Many excellent places to eat and drink in the local area.

Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.
It is important to us that there is no smoking anywhere in the house.
We are keen to have shorter breaks in (easy to reach) European or UK destinations. We prefer quieter locations such as a village but perhaps with a city nearby that we can visit occasionally during our stay.
We tend to travel as a couple but we sometimes take our (adult) daughter and occasionally travel with another couple. Ideally we prefer to travel in May/June and September but we are flexible and will consider and reply to all offers.
We would be delighted to answer any questions you have and help you plan a fantastic holiday in Scotland.
