Tranquility is in the picturesque fishing village of Pittenweem, near to St Andrews, Scotland. Pittenweem's history dates back to the 7th century. Its name has Pictish origins and means place by or of the cave. This cave was said to be the retreat St Fillan chose to live whilst he converted local Picts to Christianity. The cave is located in one of the wynds meandering upwards from the harbour. Tranquility is a spectacular ground floor holiday home. This 17th century Grade A listed property enjoys a superb position overlooking the picturesque Pittenweem harbour. The renovation of The Gyles won the Saltire Award from the National Trust of Scotland. Boasting magnificent sea and harbour views from almost all windows, this luxury apartment also has a wealth of charm and character with exposed timber ceiling beams throughout. The property, which sleeps 2, benefits from being all on one level, with the ability to park right outside the front door. The lounge, dining room and double bedroom all have wonderful sea views. The circular dining area has views across the harbour towards the Firth of Forth. The new bathroom has both bath / electric shower and features wonderful Spanish nautical tiling.
