  My wife, sister daughter and I stayed at the tower house the week after new years and had a great time. The house was fantastic. The views were to die for and with the old style of house, you could hear the ocean all night. Talk about a southing sleep. The house had everything you could want and the the rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The ocean feels even closer than the photos show and with the sunrise after 8 in the morning, we saw it 3 times. The village of Crail is quaint and charming. We ate at the Anstruther Fish and Chips restaurant just 10 minutes down the road and it was awesome. St. Andrews was less than 20 minutes and we enjoyed many a stroll through town. Fabulous stay and great house. I will be back for sure.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Hi Guys.... you know it so nice to get people who stay at the house taking the time to show appreciation. Many thanks. Glad you loved the village and the area... it is very special. You must try and get over during the summer months when the weather is better and you can sit on the patio during the evening and get to talk to the many local people who walk up and down the coastal path. There is so much to see and do in the area within such a short distance I am sure another visit would enhance your perception of Scotland and the local area. Look forward to having you all stay again. best regards.

  What a fabulous place for a vacation. The whole family loved the views, the city, the people, local golf, local seafood, and the hiking right outside the door. The easy access to the Coastal Trail was definitely a plus, but even if you only wanted to enjoy the view it would be ideal. Harry was great to work with, and we are definitely hoping to return in the near future.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: So glad you enjoyed this old house.... it is a very special place and we loved the fact that you all appreciated all the house and the area has to offer. Hope you tried the fish and chips at Anstruther.... They have just won The Best In Britain award.

  Amazing view, very quite. A really romantic accomodation equipped with the necessary items; all in goot conditions. Tiny but sufficient bath room, clean. Ideal for 4 persons. We were 5 adults and had not sufficient space in the cupboard and the foldable bed was neither comfortable nor long enough. The foldable dining table has only 4 chairs, the living room is not equipped for 5 either. Very frindly landlords (contact only by phone).

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

  We felt very at Home in The watch House, warm cosy and very safe. The views are stunning and the accommodation perfect. We ate at The Dreel Inn Anstruther, also the wee chippy. The food was great. Eastern Spice was also very nice. We will be back again. Thanks to Linda & Harry

  I have lost cout of the number of times we have stayed at The Watch House, but it will always be the perfect place for us to chill and leave the rat race behind. P.S. this is the one place in the world where I dont mind doing the washing up.

  We have all agreed that we have never enjoyed anywhere more than we have at Crail in The Watch House. This was an absolutely fantastic stay in every way!! We will definately be back.

  Enjoyed a sunny day in Scotland golfing the Old Course in St andrews. The views and the paths at the house were beautiful. Had a wee bit of rain but enhanced our Scottish experience.

  We have had a fantastic week in Crail. The weather has been great and we have spent much of our time at the nearby beach in Elie. The Watch House has been great and has met all our needs. The Sea vies are fantastic.I am sure we will be back to stay at The watch House again.
