Inchview Beach House is a beachfront holiday home in Burntisland, sleeping up to seven guests in three bedrooms with the Firth of Forth quite literally at the end of the garden. Built in 1908 and beautifully refurbished, the house has retained its period character while gaining a smart, contemporary interior, with herringbone flooring, Scandi-inspired finishes and a log fire for colder evenings. But it's the relationship with the water that makes staying here different. The bedrooms have sea views, and the front patio looks across the bay towards Inchkeith and the Black Rock. You can watch the light change over the Forth, wander down to the beach on a whim or start the morning with a swim in one of Fife's wild swimming spots. At the back, there's an enclosed private garden with views towards the Binn. It's a house that works particularly well for families and friends who want a seaside holiday without having to choose between coast, countryside and city days.
Burntisland gives you plenty of reasons to leave the car where it is. The beach and Fife Coastal Path are on the doorstep, while coffee shops, ice cream, pubs, cafés and restaurants are all close by. Beacon Leisure Centre is around a five-minute walk from the house, with a swimming pool, gym, sauna, and steam room, as well as football, basketball, and skateboarding facilities. Golfers can walk to Burntisland Golf Club in about ten minutes, where the elevated course comes with remarkable views stretching from the three Forth bridges to Arthur's Seat, East Lothian and the Bass Rock. Summer brings putting, the Burntisland Fair and July's Highland Games, while walkers can tackle the Binn for another panoramic look across the Forth. There's history here too: Rossend Castle has connections to Mary Queen of Scots, and the town was home to the scientist Mary Somerville and the football pioneer David Danskin.
Then there's Edinburgh. Burntisland railway station is about 10 minutes away on foot, and trains reach the capital in approximately half an hour, making days at Edinburgh Castle, the museums, shops and galleries surprisingly easy without having to drive into the city. In the other direction, the trains and local buses open up more of the Fife coast, while St Andrews, the host of the British Golf Open, is around half an hour by train. With a car, Perth and Stirling are 45 minutes away, Loch Lomond about an hour and a half away and in the winter if you fancy ski-ing Glenshee is also about an hour and a half away. The variety of options is an outstanding feature of Inchview. Alternatively, you may wish to do nothing more ambitious than following the coastal path for a stretch, stopping for coffee, and coming home to watch the water before lighting the log fire. Sounds blissful? That's because it is.
