Wonderful cottage in a wonderful area
We have just had the most relaxing week in this beautiful cottage where all you can hear is the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks outside the windows. The views are stunning and the whole coastline is a delight to explore. The cottage is spotless, warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped. Thank you so much Charlotte for sharing this little bit of heaven with us!

"Charming" is the word.
If you are looking for action, not the choice. Instead a charming cottage a little removed from a charming village on a charming seaside in a charming area of a charming country. Simple as that.

Perfect cottage for a relaxing week.
A lovely, comfortable cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break. Excellent welcome pack. The position is great for the coastal path or if you just want to sit and watch the birds: diving gannets, flocks of oystercatchers, cormorants skimming over the sea. Just wonderful.

Stayed here for a week on a golfing trip to Crail. Could not be happier. Wonderful location, incredibly quiet, and a wonderful cottage for a single or a couple. I will be back.

Wonderful Cottage
The secluded location thru the 16th hole of Balcomie Links led us to this quaint waterfront fisherman's cottage. It was warm and cozy with incredible sunrises and bird watching. The quaint village of Crail had all neccessities but it was an an easy drive to St. Andrews for golf and more shopping etc. We were sad to leave after 7 nights. We will never forget this magical place and hope to return again. Thank you Charlotte :)

Two weeks of heaven in Fife
This was our second visit to this wonderful cottage in Crail. Charlotte is a wonderful host and Linda sees to every need! The only question is how soon can we book next year! The beautiful sunrises I watched with my morning coffee set the tone for a wonderful day on the links!

Lovely property, wonderful location.
We spent 13 wonderful nights in this secluded property. After walking stretches of the coastal path spent every evening looking out to sea. Lucky enough to see two otters one evening which was special. Thank-you Charlotte for the welcome pack and for providing everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!

Great cottage with wonderful views and wildlife
Holidayed alone and loved it. Well equipped cottage and comfortable too. Just what I needed after a very difficult year - a very therapeutic place to heal. Not for those who want a pub or nightlife nearby. Delightful and peaceful villages not far away with shops.

A breathtaking delight.
This old stone cottage is beautifully presented, has all the amenities you need , a log burning stove and a very comfortable bed. It sits thirty paces from the sea shore, St Andrews is twenty minutes away and Crail a lovely village nearby has a butcher, a baker, and greengrocer for your fresh daily produce.

Just book it !
Absolutely awesome place to stay! What a location! The cottage is kitted out with everything you will need . The view over the beach/cove is breathtaking no matter what time of day if you are a bird watcher then it’s perfect. If you fancy a round of golf then it’s a short walk away . 5 stars does not do the cottage and location justice

Totally relaxing, get away from it holiday, in a beautiful part of Scotland. Idyllic setting.
We have stayed here previously and wanted to return as we had such a peaceful, relaxing break, but with lots of beautiful places to visit nearby and great walks with spectacular views. Second time around, just as enjoyable. Excellent communication throughout from Charlotte, the owner. Looking to return very soon.

Wonderful cottage for a relaxing and relatively quiet week in the peak of school holidays. A real gem; warm, comfortable, well equipped and the provisions in the fridge were a lovely surprise! Exactly what we were hoping for and then some!

We really enjoyed our (4th) visit to the cottage. It is so peaceful and relaxing but also with access to lovely places like St. Andrews, Elie and Anstruther amongst others and of course the beautiful countryside. Crail is very handy with plenty to see and do. Thank you to Charlotte (and Linda) for such a welcoming arrival. B & D
