Ainster House is a serene design-led guest house, set within a B-listed building in the idyllic fishing town of Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife. Set within the former Smuggler's Tavern, Ainster House provides the perfect setting to relax and spend time in, any time of the year. Well located for many activities and amenities including country & coastal walks, golf, historical sites, and many fantastic bars and restaurants, both locally and beyond in the surrounding villages and St Andrews.
