Charming

We chose the “Old Stables” to be in the village of Crail and close to golfing venues we had arranged. The village is picturesque and charming with the water a short walk from the house. The home has been renovated and is very tastefully decorated. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay again.
