A Family Business, A Local Heart
East Fife Holiday Homes is run by Jordan and Gemma, a local, family-run team who look after holiday homes up and down the Fife coast. We’re not a faceless agency: we live here, and we care about the villages our guests come to enjoy.
When East Fife Holiday Homes joined the Short Stay family in 2025, we kept what guests loved about it: the Elie office, hands-on local service and a carefully chosen collection of homes across the East Neuk.
Our ethos is simple: people first. Whether it’s a harbour cottage for two in Pittenweem or a big family house by the beach in Elie, every stay gets the same care.
“We’re proud to welcome guests to the East Neuk and share the best of this stretch of coast.” — Jordan & Gemma

Led by Jordan & Gemma with a genuine personal touch.

Wedding stays in the East Neuk: your questions answered
Which wedding venues are in the East Neuk of Fife?
Popular venues include Kilconquhar Castle Estate near Elie, Madeira in Fife in Pittenweem, The Cow Shed near Crail and Pratis Barns near Leven, with Kinkell Byre and Falside Mill just over the border towards St Andrews. Each has its own guide on this page.
Where should I stay for a wedding in the East Neuk?
Stay in the village closest to your venue. Elie suits Kilconquhar Castle, Pittenweem suits Madeira, Crail suits The Cow Shed, Falside Mill and Kinkell Byre, and Lower Largo suits Pratis Barns.
Do I need to book a taxi in advance?
Yes. There are only a few taxi firms in the East Neuk and they get booked up on wedding nights, especially in summer. Book your journey home when you book your stay, or check whether the couple has arranged a minibus. Local numbers are listed in our wedding guest guide above.
Can I get my hair done locally on the wedding morning?
Yes, there are salons in Anstruther, Pittenweem and St Monans. Saturday opening is short in most of them, so book as early as you can. Bridal parties usually book a mobile hair and make-up artist to come to the house.
Where can I hire a kilt?
Kinloch Anderson and Kirk Wynd Highland House, both in St Andrews, hire and fit kilts. Call a few weeks ahead with your measurements.
Can we get ready for the wedding in the house?
Yes, many guests do. If the wedding is on the day you arrive, check your arrival time when you book and tell our team, and we will let you know what we can do.
Can a whole wedding party stay together?
Several of our homes sleep eight or more. For larger groups, contact our team and we will suggest homes close to each other.
Where can I pick up last-minute essentials?
The Co-op in Anstruther and Crail is open 7am to 10pm every day. There are pharmacies in Anstruther, Crail and Pittenweem, and The Flower House in Anstruther makes buttonholes and corsages.
Do you have homes near St Andrews wedding venues?
Yes, through our sister company Short Stay St Andrews, which has homes in St Andrews, Kingsbarns and nearby villages.
When should I book?
As soon as you have the date. Summer weekends in the East Neuk book up early.
