Why they chose this property
Crail is a historic fishing village in the pretty East Neuk of Fife with charming cobbled streets that tumble down to the miniature harbour, which is sheltered by cliffs and surrounded by historic fishing cottages. Visitors flock to the harbour front for ice cream and a stroll to see the fishing boats or to simply explore the timeless wynds within the village. In the summer, the Crail Food Festival is a treat for the senses.
Visitors have increasingly come to weddings at The Cow Shed and Kinkell Byre which is nestled just outside Crail. There is plenty to explore while you are here including a heritage centre, galleries, local shops as well as local eateries such as delightful tearooms. Local amenities such as a bank machine and convenience store are also available. Within 15 minutes drive you have a plethora of the world’s best golf courses including the Old Course.
