A really beautifully located property with a fab position above Crail harbour, with a private garden
A really beautifully located property with a fab position above Crail harbour, with a private garden, but also sharing a very large walled communal garden with access to croquet equipment etc. The cottage itself has good amenities, it is not bang up to date or chic, but basically homely and comfortable with fantastic views out over the coast. For this area and this location it was very attractively priced and we had a fantastic week.

The house was very well equipped - however the fridge was far too small for 8 people .
The house was very well equipped - however the fridge was far too small for 8 people . That meant that we had to make more trips to the shop than we would have chosen too. A dishwasher would also be a very welcome addition.
