It's a great place to have a meal and a drink, for lunch or supper. It's also walkable from the Lodge, although a little further than the Balgedie Toll, but worth it when you get there!

We love this coffee shop! It's run by a group of hipster coffee gurus and they are absolutely passionate about what they do and sell. We leave a small bag of their coffee in our welcome pack for guests to try but we also highly recommend popping down to the shop on the High Street while you are with us too. Their cakes and snacks there delicious too!

This is one of our favourite pubs! Great food and a stunning spot. A day out in Elie isn't complete without finding a reason to pop in here - be it for a drink, an ice cream, a coffee or a meal. On a lovely day, sitting in the garden at the front over looking the beach and harbor is stunning. Be warned though, if it's sunning it gets very busy!

This is a fantastic local butcher. The meat may be a little more expensive than a supermarket but it is so worth it! And their ready made pies and dishes are amazing. You will never taste a steak pie quite like it!

Take the ferry at the end of the pier by the Boat House restaurant and go over to see Loch Leven Castle on Castle Island where Mary Queen of Scots famously spent her last days in Scotland. But check the ferry is running as it only goes from April to October and can sometimes be closed if the Loch is too rough.
