Crail is a charming fishing village resting in the East Neuk of Fife and is home to one of the UK’s most photographed harbours. The cobbled streets are lined with historical buildings including the Tollbooth with its tower dating from 1600, along with a variety of shops, restaurants and takeaways, making it a great base for holidaymakers. The university town of St. Andrews is easily accessible and well-worth a visit with its golfing history or venture to the city of Dundee, roughly 22 miles away.

The cottage is very clean and extremely well stocked with utensils, cutlery and crockery. The washing machine, dishwasher, hob, oven and microwave are very high quality but simple to use. It totally feels like a home from home and we had some beautiful weather. Penman and Greens are a delight to shop in and we had lobster and crab from Reilly's. I used to spend every minute on school holidays at granny's in Crail, down there at the harbour with Harry the grand dad and Paddy the father of the current owners and I met their sons, 4 generations!!! Thank you so much for another wonderful stay for me and my father. We were celebrating his 85th birthday. Our hearts belong to Crail and we'll be back again asap.

We were initially apprehensive having seen a previous review where the standard of cleanliness in the cottage was reported as very poor, but on arrival the cottage was very clean; beds were all freshly made up, bathroom wax spotless with clean towels and, kitchen very clean and well equipped. All kitchen appliances worked and heating came on and off when it got too cold! Only complaint was that the TV for later in the evening was unwatchable as the booster switch/box for the signal was simply not working. Otherwise an excellent week away in a beautiful location. Not sure how accurate the listing of adult bunks is as although we didnât use the bunk room - it seemed quite a tight fit and the bunk beds had childrenâs type bedding on them.

COR-364178-CF The housekeeping of the cottage was poor to say the least. Stained carpet, dirt crumbs, old clothing under the sofa cushions. Dirty cutlery and crumbs on drawers. Old food in cupboard. Finger or toe nails on bedroom floor. Poor or no TV signal. Wall light not working. Patio had slimy boards with rubbish on it and weeds. Poor offer of compensation. We should really get our money back as we had to cut the holiday short because of the conditions.
