Bonnington House | Elie

Right in the heart of Elie, this beautifully renovated holiday home offers contemporary coastal living with plenty of space for families, friends and golfers to spread out and relax. Finished to a very high standard throughout, it pairs clean, modern design with a fantastic location just a short stroll from the beach, local shops, cafés and the links – perfect whether you’re here for sea air, sandy toes or tee times.

On the ground floor, a stylish, sociable kitchen sits at the centre of the house, complete with a dual-fuel Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine (bring your favourite pods) and two fridges across the kitchen and utility. A large dining table seats up to ten, making it ideal for lazy breakfasts and long, chatty dinners after a day on the water or the fairways. The adjoining living room offers comfortable seating, TV with Freesat and DVD player, plus a small table and chairs for games, books or a quiet drink. Patio doors open onto a fully enclosed courtyard with outdoor table and chairs and a Weber charcoal BBQ, giving you a sheltered space to dine and unwind outdoors.

Also on this level you’ll find a sleek family bathroom with bath, shower-over-bath, double wash basins and bidet, along with a separate WC. A well-equipped utility room houses a large fridge-freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and Wi-Fi router, while a generous lockable store with street access is ideal for safely stowing bikes, golf clubs and beach gear – a real bonus for active breaks in Elie. Halfway up the stairs there’s an additional shower room with WC and wash hand basin, keeping mornings and post-beach showers running smoothly for larger groups.

Upstairs, four comfortable bedrooms are arranged to suit a variety of party sizes. One double bedroom opens through a glass door into a sun room with access to a roof-top seating area, where rattan furniture and sea views make a lovely spot for an evening drink. There’s also a king-size double, a twin room with two single beds, and a bunk room with full-size adult bunks plus a pull-out bed (bedding and linen for the pull-out can be provided on request at the time of booking).

From this contemporary Elie base, you’re perfectly placed for beach days, coastal walks, links golf and day trips along the East Neuk to St Andrews – all with local support from our St Andrews-based team and easy, direct booking.
