Top Shell Bay Hotel Reviews

Kilconquhar Castle Estate

8/10 Good

"Love my stay! The staff was super friendly and made my stay so relaxing. The room was spacious and clean."

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."
