Top Shell Bay Hotel Reviews

Kilconquhar Castle Estate

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The restaurant was excellent.. but you need to make reservations as soon as you check in. The staff was very helpful and friendly."

Helena Cottage, Elie, Fife

10/10 Excellent

"Helena Cottage has a spacious living area and private terrace. It is spotlessly clean, offering a bright and comfortable place to relax. Its location is unbeatable for the lovely Earlsferry beach. The property is set back from the main road, so is wonderfully peaceful and quiet throughout the day and night. There is a fantastic local pub serving excellent food within a two-minute walk. The hosts are very responsive too if you need anything."

The Wee House | Elie

8/10 Good

"Great house in good location and very close to the beach Missed Wi-Fi and very poor mobile signal was the only problem Wouldn’t stop us returning and thoroughly enjoyed our stay"

Bonnington House | Elie

10/10 Excellent

"Versatile accommodation perfect for family with dogs. Close to the beach, deli & bakery and easy walk to the golf course. The small problem we had was sorted immediately - fabulous service. We’ve been holidaying in Elie for years & this was one of the best houses we’ve stayed in, would definitely recommend the house & booking with Short Stay St Andrews. My only comment is some of the automated communication while effective & efficient could be worded in a more friendly, less harsh manner. I notice this as customer communication / marketing is what I do for a living ️."

Marine Park (No 8) | Elie

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and lovely and clean"

Bakers Close | Elie & Earlsferry

10/10 Excellent

"Location is ideal and size of accomodation excellent for 2 adults External entrance ("the Close") could do with a makeover as showing signs of wear and tear"

Earlslodge | Earlsferry

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable and well equipped house in a great location."
