About this property

BEACH HOUSE WALK, homely holiday home in Crail, near St Andrews, home of golf!

Beach House Walk in Crail, near St Andrews – perfect for families, a romantic break, or a golfing holiday - five minutes walk to the beach.

You will feel right at home in our beautiful house and its fabulous location. The house is fresh and clean and immaculately maintained, with lots of little touches to make you feel very welcome. It has two comfortable bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen and a modern bathroom. A sunny, well-maintained garden at the rear of the house gives a private, outdoor space for fun or relaxation, and our private off-road parking means a hassle-free stay.
The location could not be better – open the garden gate, and a five minute walk down the path takes you to both Roome Bay Beach - where you can stroll on the gorgeous, unspoiled sands - and to the acclaimed Fife Coastal Path, which offers breathtaking scenery.

Alternatively: take the short walk into Crail. This pretty, historic fishing village with its ancient cobbled streets and its quaint, working harbour, has a surprising treasure trove of shops (including an award-winning butcher and an independent bakery), and restaurants where you can experience the finest, freshest Scottish seafood, and a variety of shops you won’t see on the average High Street.

If you’re a golfer, you’ll be delighted to know that Beach House Walk is just eight miles away from St Andrews, the iconic home of golf. There you’ll find the largest public golf complex in Europe, with another 17 golf courses to choose from, all within a 15 minute drive. The regular bus service (Just walk out the house, stick your hand out and he’ll stop!), will drop you 500 metres from the door. Or, strike out in the opposite direction, and explore other charming, historic East Neuk fishing villages – all from your own door step.
If you want to explore further afield, Perth, Dundee and Edinburgh can all be reached within an hour’s drive.
Some days you just want to chill at home, and for those days Beach House Walk offers an enclosed garden at the rear – with that enticing gate tempting you down the path to the beach. There’s a barbecue, garden furniture, and beautiful views over the fields. Sit in the garden with a glass of something nice while dinner cooks, and feel your cares just slide away. And everywhere, there is the scent and sound of the sea, and the fresh Fife air. You’ll find yourself starting to relax from the minute you get here.

Beach House Walk has eight bicycles, beach toys, wellies and fishing nets which you are very welcome to use at no extra charge.

4 night stay
The property was ideal for our small family. It was clean and very well equipped - particularly the kitchen which was ideal as we ate in most nights. Great communication from the property owner.

Great find in Crail
Kirsty's property was ideal for our brief stay in Crail. She is clearly a very experienced host who seems to have thought of everything, both in terms of her dealing with clients as well as the provisions in her home. All her communication with us was exemplary and I cannot think of any way of improving things. Thank you

Coastal Retreat
This well appointed holiday retreat, 15 minutes stroll from the beach, gave us all the facilities we needed. Decoration and themed decoration reflected the name "Beach House Walk". Location is excellent for exploring East Neuk and its fishing heritage. Thank you for a wonderful break in your lovely home. Graham and Janet

About the host

Hosted by Kirsty Weir

Host profile image
Kirsty is an experienced consultant working actively in the Hospitality Sector for over 25 years.

"I have holidayed in the East Neuk of Fife for over 40 years. My ancestors are from Kingsbarns. I have very many happy memories of my holidays here, and being a mum with 3 boys, I have had lots of fun holidaying with them, showing them all the wonderful sights and places that Fife has to offer. I have also worked with Fife Council, and with the many businesses and companies in the area.

I purchased Beach House Walk in 2015, and dedicated a lot of time and love to the project to have it completely refurbished to a modern and comfortable standard; not just for my own family, but for other guests to enjoy."

- Kirsty Weir

Why they chose this property

"I have a love of the East Neuk of Fife after spending many family holidays as a child in Kingsbarns, and Crail. I enjoy going to the beach with my 3 boys and I love the location of the house.It is both stunningly beautiful and convenient, as everything you need for a self catering holiday is within 2 minutes reach; a necessity for busy families wanting to get away from it all."

- Kirsty Weir

What makes this property unique

There is a path behind the house where the children can walk safely to the beach without having to dodge traffic. The idyllic village roads are quiet.

The house is situated in a tranquil residential street, with the rear of the property overlooking fields and countryside.

The spacious back garden is fully enclosed and is a nice private space to unwind. The garden also boasts a small, modern summerhouse overlooking the sea, offering an additional luxurious little space for work and play. 4 adult bikes, and 4 child-sized bikes are available to guests at no extra cost, along with helmets and other cycling accessories. The area is not only beautiful, it is an ideal location for a cycling holiday.

Discounted rates to use the Fairmont Hotel Spa (5 star hotel) less than 10 minutes away from Beach House Walk.
