Situated in the picturesque fishing village of Crail, this delightful holiday home has the most fantastic views over the red pantile roofs to the Firth of Forth and beyond. Just perfect for a family and couples to relax and spend time together in this most picturesque village in the East Neuk of Fife.

From Crail House you are just minutes’ walk to the old fishing harbour and sandy beach. In the summer months, fresh lobster and crabs are cooked and you can sit by the harbour side and enjoy your lunch. Crail is a lovely village to explore with historic buildings, ancient alleyways and wynds. There is also a park and children’s play area as well as a good selection of places to eat, tea rooms, local shops and galleries.

If you enjoy walking, the Fife Coastal Path which journeys through Crail, takes you in either direction to secluded coves and sandy beaches, all with spectacular coastal views over the North Sea and Firth of Forth. For days out, Cambo Gardens are only 3 miles away and have something for all to enjoy. The beautiful gardens are an all year round attraction with a tasting garden, sensory garden and the most amazing display of snowdrops in the spring. The café uses their own produce to provide tasty meals and snacks and there are lots of interesting buildings and walks in the grounds.

St Andrews is a mere 20 minutes’ drive along the coast and you can fill your day easily as there are visitor attractions including the Sea Life Centre, museums and historic buildings. The city centre has a great selection of quality places to eat, from award-winning ice cream shops to bistros and wine bars. Super for shopping with independent shops and boutiques as well as high street names.

St Andrews is the home of golf with the championship courses as well as family friendly courses and if you enjoying a golfing holiday, then there are around 50 courses in this area to practise your skills. Crail has two courses just 2 miles distant.

With all that fresh air you will be looking for a welcoming cottage to return to and Crail House provides this and more. The cottage is accessed from the first floor and the living dining room has a picture window which makes the most of the sea views. There is also an en-suite double bed room again with sea views. The ground floor has one double bed room and one two twin bedoms, the twin bedroom leads to a bunk bed room. Plenty of outdoor space, the balcony on the first floor has patio furniture where you can enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the sea views as well as a lawned garden. Beach 400 yards. Shop 400 yards, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

A really beautifully located property with a fab position above Crail harbour, with a private garden
A really beautifully located property with a fab position above Crail harbour, with a private garden, but also sharing a very large walled communal garden with access to croquet equipment etc. The cottage itself has good amenities, it is not bang up to date or chic, but basically homely and comfortable with fantastic views out over the coast. For this area and this location it was very attractively priced and we had a fantastic week. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
