Situated on the iconic Elie High Street, close to the beach, The Coach House is ideally positioned for access to all amenities including the golf courses, tennis club and all the shops, cafés and restaurants of the village. The East Neuk of Fife is famed for its picturesque fishing villages, popular long distance coastal path and some beautiful beaches, with Elie and Earlsferry boasting some of the finest. Sailing, wind surfing and other water sports are available at Elie Harbour and there are two golf courses. The villages also have golf practice facilities, tennis courts and a bowling green, with Elie Sports Club offering group and individual coaching in golf and tennis during school holidays. The area is well served by some highly rated pubs and cafés, including the renowned Ship Inn in Elie and the historic 19th Hole Tavern and Restaurant in Earlsferry. The nearby Kinneuchar Inn also has an excellent reputation whilst the monthly Bowhouse market is a very popular event.

Dundee is within a 45-minute drive to the north, with Edinburgh about an hour and 20 minutes to the south. The beautiful Fife countryside around Elie comprises a lovely mix of fertile farmland, woodland, hill, stunning coastline, and river. The result is home to an array of wildlife and for the outdoor enthusiast offers access to a wide range of recreational pursuits including riding, cycling, walking, sailing and golf. There are many highly rated golf courses within easy reach including the renowned courses at Elie itself, Dumbarnie, Crail, Kingsbarns, St Andrews Bay, Leven, Lundin Links and the numerous fine courses in and around St Andrews.
