Castaway Forest Holiday Homes

Castaway Forest Holiday Homes

Our Castaway (forest) holiday homes offer a choice of stylish two or three bedroom models set on the edge of Elie forest with views across grassland towards Kincraig (the highest point on the Fife Coastal Path) and within easy reach of the Robinson Crusoe Adventure Park and Mirador Café.

Each of the holiday homes has double glazing and gas central heating, plus the added luxury of a covered veranda, perfect for alfresco dining, whatever the weather.

The well-equipped kitchen is open plan to the spacious living area, complete with a free-standing dining table, gas fire and flatscreen Freeview TV. There is a master bedroom and a twin bedroom, which is ideal for children or guests. If you have extended family or friends, why not upgrade to the three bedroom model? For your convenience, both offer versatile lounge seating, which converts into a pull-out double bed.

Linen, duvets, duvet covers and pillows are all provided (except for cots). For a small charge, you can hire double and single towel packs to save on your packing.

Dog-friendly holiday homes
Dogs are welcome to accompany you in our selected 'dog-friendly' holiday homes at Elie Holiday Park. A supplement of £35 per holiday, per dog applies (maximum of two dogs). Please see booking terms & conditions.
