Description Thanks to its superb beachfront setting, The Old Bake House offers one of coastal Scotland’s most spectacular and desirable outlooks, with picturesque and undisturbed views over Elie and Earlsferry beaches, and across the Firth of Forth towards East Lothian. The original “Bake House” which once supplied the local bakeries was built on this site in about the 1850s, and was re- built as a dwelling house in the late 1940s. The house has recently been fully re-designed, extended and renovated, led by architects Robin Hopkins and Gillespie & Scott, and was completed in 2020.
