With the stepping stones leading across the Dreel Burn to the shore just beyond the property it offers central yet quiet accommodation. The bedrooms, a double and a twin, are on the ground floor along with the shower room which features a bespoke stained glass window depicting local images. Stairs lead to the bright first floor where there is a cosy lounge with sea views, a spacious dining area and a well equipped kitchen. Each of the East facing windows frame views across the Dreel burn as it flows to the sea and towards the harbourfront. Relax at the window seat to read a book or simply watch the waves roll in. The Dreel Halls to the rear has an historic graveyard and quiet gardens where guests can enjoy views from the many benches along the waters edge. There is on street parking at the end of the lane and access to a sheltered beach just behind the harbour wall. Dolphin Cottage welcomes well behaved dogs, and the area is known for being particularly dog friendly with plenty coastal and countryside walks in close reach. Well suited to families or friends travelling together, the cottage is a comfortable and welcoming base for a stay in the beautiful East Neuk. Guests have access to the whole property Whilst it isn't anything we expect to impact your stay, please do note that it is next to a former church and graveyard. The neighbours are very quiet!

Comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. ##### Gill W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pippa May 6, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely quaint old cottage close to the beach and harbour. It’s in a great location with lovely views over the Dreel burn and beach. The open plan living/dining room is bright, spacious and comfortable. The cottage is well provisioned with plenty crockery and kitchenware, plus a dishwasher and washing machine. It has a quirky layout with bedrooms on the ground floor and the living spaces upstairs. This affords the property with nice views towards the beach. The beds were pretty comfortable, although a few new pillows would definitely be a bonus. Plenty drawer and wardrobe space in both bedrooms. We had plenty towels, bedding etc and the heating and shower were good so we were cosy during our stay. The only negative point is that the cottage would benefit from a deep clean. It was generally clean on all the surfaces and in the kitchen and bathroom so we had no issues with it but I am guessing that the owner or some guests might have dogs. We were aware of a slight doggy aroma coming from the carpets and soft furnishings. It was a minor thing though and didn’t bother us. The parking was a bit challenging during our stay because the carpark at the esplanade was fenced off by Scottish Water for upgrade works. The cottage is on a narrow street so we had to park away from the property. It wasn’t a problem as we didn’t need the car much so we unloaded our bags on arrival and parked in a public carpark about 5mins walk away. Overall, we had a great stay and would book again ##### Pippa Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Course Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels-Old-Course-Hotel.h522846.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Atholl Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Atholl-Palace-Hotel.h63637.Hotel-Information) > > [Perle Oban Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Perle-Oban-Hotel-Spa.h993007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garrison](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Garrison.h24101351.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kinross-Hotels-The-Green-Hotel-Golf-Leisure-Resort.h1130671.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Uig Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portree-Hotels-Uig-Hotel.h2261957.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Hamilton.h3924670.Hotel-Information)
