Crail house is perfectly situated near to the harbour with lovely sea views. There is designated parking in the private grounds so never an issue finding a parking space. The property was very clean and well equipped. The downstairs bedrooms could get cold on a night but additional blankets were provided. Crail is a great base for exploring the East Neuk of Fife. Crail itself is a gorgeous village and we had a very happy week exploring the local area.We were sad to say goodbye to those lovely sea views

The sea views from the apartment windows were amazing and a small balcony also to enjoy the view on a summer evening, plus a very pleasant garden . We very much enjoyed our holiday in Crail.

2nd time staying here now excellent location and lovely clean property. Kitchen could do with updating an addition of a dishwasher and decent sized fridge freezer would be much better. There is access to a large fridge freezer in garage but going up and down to it over the week gets a little annoying. Other than that it’s perfect and would not hesitate staying again!
