The house was clean, warm and well equipped.

Great property and great facilities. Very clean and nice touches to have supplies ready for us. Lots of open space and we loved our stay.
The back garden needs TLC - a £20 dog fee was fair but there was lots of dog poop in the back garden which made the £20 fee a bit hard to take. I picked all the poop up. There was also a bbq that was knocked over and a flower pot that has fallen and broken on the floor.
We stayed here as a group of friends to attend a wedding in Crail. The cottage exceeded our expectations and is a nice little gem in the very centre of the town. There was ample parking space on the road in front of the cottage (Crail isn't a busy place!) and the property itself was very charming. It was super clean and was bigger than what I initially thought it would be. There was a nice sea view from the bedroom upstairs and the kitchen was really well equipped. The hosts even left us a little bottle of milk, tea, coffee and some of the most incredible shortbread we have ever tasted. My father is a very keen golfer and he travels to Fife quite regularly - without a doubt, we will be booking this property again!
Absolutely nothing - everything was simply perfect and excellent value for money!
We loved the cottage, it was spotless, really warm and cosy, has a lovely kitchen and really comfortable beds. The photos don’t do it justice! We didn’t want to leave ! Everything was well stocked and easy to use, good communication from owners and lots of information at hand on arrival. The location is perfect and everything is nearby, co op, butchers, fish and chip shop. We just loved it and will be back !

Location and layout.
Nothing to dislike.
Had everything you needed and was comfortable
Spacious and comfortable.
No information about lighting the fire, or wood , weren’t sure if we could use own wood but decided not to just in case chimney not in use ? No big issue but would make it cosy . The heating system was excellent anyway. Location of keypad could be clearer - references to steps led us to believe keys were at the rear of the property when the key box was at the front door.
Location, and facilities.
Cleanliness, a little improvement as I'm sure someone was paid to clean it.
The cottage was well placed for exploring the area with easy parking. Comfortable accommodation generally. Well fitted out. Reilly's shellfish in the harbour was great. Good butcher and baker and well stocked co-op store close by. Good places to eat and drink in the village. Village museum and parish church worth a visit. Good walking and beach within walking distance and others close by. Lots of lovely harbours to visit and some unusual places too. Will be back to the area.
Mondays and Tuesdays the Shoregate pub and chip shop are closed we would have liked to be there to try both, our fault we didn't earlier in the stay . Still the Golf Hotel gave good service. The shower was over the bath which we didn't dare try without a handrail to hold on to for climbing in.
The location was excellent and easy to park close to property. Lots to do around the area. The house had everything we needed for a short stay and the beds were comfy.
