Elie Beach Summer Dog Walking
Most holiday accommodation here is self catering, so there is lots to look at. If its right on the beach watch out for the evening breeze that comes in off the sea, it’s cold! Best to be one back from the beach like Elie Cottage, so you can still hear and see the waves lapping, but get the full warmth of all day and evening sun.
In high season bookings are almost always weeks and often difficult to come by. Outside of high season you can book long weekends and mid-week breaks at Elie Cottage
