About this property

Westland Shores - An East Neuk Gem

Westland Shores presents a renovated upstairs shower room and WC, along with a brand new walk in wardrobe in the master bedroom. Previously, the property featured a downstairs bathroom and separate upstairs WC, however guest feedback inspired the creation of this fantastic new upstairs space, adding even more comfort and convenience to your stay.

Designed with families, corporate travellers, golfers, and coastal explorers in mind, Westland Shores offers a welcoming and flexible base in the heart of Crail. Dog friendly and thoughtfully equipped throughout, the property combines comfort, practicality, and stylish interiors to create a true home from home experience.

The interior has an eclectic yet carefully coordinated feel, with bright spaces, stylish prints, and mid century modern influences flowing throughout the house. Every room has been thoughtfully designed with comfort and character in mind, creating a relaxing space to unwind after a day exploring the coast.

The property comfortably sleeps guests across three bedrooms, including one double room, one super king room on the ground floor which can also be configured as a twin upon request, and one small double room. Guests benefit from a downstairs bathroom with a walk in shower, alongside the newly added upstairs shower room and WC.

The spacious living areas and fully equipped kitchen make it easy to enjoy quality time together, whether preparing breakfast before a day out or settling in for a relaxed evening. The kitchen provides modern appliances, generous worktop space, and everything needed for a comfortable self catering stay.

Westland Shores also offers broadband, Netflix, and various streaming apps, ensuring you stay connected and entertained throughout your visit.

Outside, the private south west facing garden is a real highlight. Secure and spacious, it offers seating areas perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dining, or relaxing in the afternoon sun. The decking area connects seamlessly from the kitchen to the garden, while the rear gate opens directly onto a large community park area, currently being transformed into a wildflower meadow as part of local improvements.

The private driveway accommodates at least two vehicles, with additional on street parking available nearby if required. Guests also have access to the garage for secure storage of golf clubs, bikes, and outdoor equipment.

Guests will receive access instructions 24 hours before check in, alongside a digital guide packed with useful information about the property, including appliance instructions, WiFi details, local recommendations, and helpful tips for your stay.

Located in the charming fishing village of Crail, Westland Shores places you perfectly for exploring the East Neuk of Fife. Wander through colourful streets lined with traditional cottages, artisan shops, galleries, and welcoming cafés, all while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of this beautiful coastal village.

Nearby towns including Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans, Elie, and St Andrews are all within easy driving distance, making Westland Shores an excellent base for discovering the area.

Golf enthusiasts are particularly well catered for, with world renowned courses including the historic Crail Golfing Society, St Andrews Old Course, Kingsbarns Golf Links, Fairmont St Andrews, Lundin Golf Club, Scotscraig Golf Club, and Elie Golf House Club all nearby.

The surrounding coastline also offers plenty to enjoy, from exploring Crail Harbour and sampling fresh local seafood, to sea swimming, coastal walks, and boat trips to the Isle of May National Nature Reserve.

Food lovers are spoiled for choice with excellent local cafés, pubs, restaurants, bakeries, and farm shops throughout the East Neuk. Popular local favourites include The Beehive for coffee and cake, Crail Fish Bar for a traditional fish supper, and The Shoregate for relaxed dining throughout the day. Fine dining can also be enjoyed at The Cellar in nearby Anstruther.

Westland Shores is also ideally situated for guests attending weddings and events at The Cow Shed, one of Fife’s most sought after venues.

Whether you are visiting for golf, coastal adventures, family time, or a relaxing escape by the sea, Westland Shores offers a comfortable and stylish retreat in one of Scotland’s most picturesque seaside villages.

Lovely house in a great spot

Really lovely home, really clever layout, and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxed stay, partly staying in and cooking, and also a great base for going out. The coastal path is right on the door step, and it’s only a few minutes walk to pubs, shops and restaurants on the main street. Would definitely book again
