Beautifully Remodelled Cottage Bolthole for Two in the Heart of Elie | Sleeps 2 | Pet-Friendly
Tucked along a quiet lane in the heart of Elie, The Mini Mansion is a traditional terraced cottage that's been beautifully updated for modern coastal escapes. Fresh from a recent remodel (2022/23), the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area has been transformed, along with the stylish shower room, new windows and rear door — all while keeping its cosy, characterful feel.
Sleeping 2 guests in one comfortable double bedroom, you're less than a minute's walk from the High Street with its deli and local shops, and only around 450 m from the long sandy beach and the famous Ship Inn, so lazy beach days and relaxed evenings out are wonderfully easy.
The Space
Offering 27 m² of cleverly designed accommodation, the main living space feels bright and welcoming, with an open fire, comfy sofa and armchair, and a skylight that pours in natural light. The contemporary kitchen is laid out on an open-plan basis with a Belfast sink, Corian worktops and quality appliances, making self-catering straightforward.
To the rear, a private paved patio catches the sun and offers a sweet little hideaway for morning coffee, an afternoon read or a quiet evening drink on the bench. There's WiFi throughout, and The Mini Mansion is pet-friendly (supplement applies), so you can bring your four-legged companion along for the East Neuk sea air.
