Catchpenny is set in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife, a stunning Scottish holiday getaway for family and friends.

The best holidays in Fife are spent pottering by the sea and enjoying the simple things in life such as hunting for fossils, searching rock pools, photography and wildlife spotting from red squirrels to dolphins.

Whether you are enjoying the many walks, cycle paths, seal spotting, rock pooling, or partaking in sports such as tennis or golf, in Elie, St Monans, Pittemweem, Anstruther, Crail and Kingsbarns or St Andrews there is something for everyone. Alternatively, simply enjoy the delicious food on offer in local restaurants such as the Ship Inn in Elie or the Kinneuchar Inn in Kilconquhar, or enjoying some fresh seafood from the East Pier Smokehouse in St Monans.

If you’re having a day off from beaches, watersports, golf or tennis then take a wander through the pretty streets of Elie and admire the typical East Neuk architecture of pastel coloured windows and stepped gables. Pop in to our lovely boutique shops or stop for an ice cream at Carol’s Ice Cream Shop. For more local attractions and activities have a read through our Local Area section and see all the fun and fascinating visits you can enjoy in Elie, the East Neuk and beyond.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Catchpenny Safari Lodges. The kids loved the sleeping arrangements in the tent and the view was spectacular. The outdoor firepits were an excellent accompaniment after the sun had gone down. A lot of thought has clearly gone into making the lodges a memorable place to stay."
