The charming cottage located in Crail, Fife, Scotland, offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests. Nestled in the historic setting of what was once the largest medieval marketplace in Europe, this unique property comprises two cottages stacked atop one another. Guests can easily explore the vibrant local area, which features independent stores, welcoming tearooms, and a variety of pubs and restaurants that serve freshly caught seafood and local ales. The picturesque cobbled streets lead to the scenic harbour and the 12th-century kirk, enriching the experience of this quaint coastal town.
For those looking to enjoy outdoor activities, Crail boasts two golf courses and is in proximity to 38 additional courses throughout Fife. The renowned golfing town of St Andrews, just 10 miles away, offers a mix of bustling streets, ancient ruins, and a deep-rooted golfing tradition. History enthusiasts can visit Scotland's Secret Bunker, located 4 miles from the cottage, where Cold War survival plans were devised. Alternatively, a short trip to Anstruther, also 4 miles away, provides opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, or taking a pleasure cruise to the Isle of May, making it an ideal location for adventure seekers.
The cottage itself showcases the traditional architecture of the East Neuk of Fife, featuring two front doors, one accessed via an outdoor forestair. Upon entering through the lower blue front door, guests are greeted by a spacious entrance hall, which includes a designated area for boots and shoes, as well as a convenient unit for keys. The inviting sitting room, adorned in neutral tones and illuminated by a large picture window overlooking the garden, provides ample soft seating for relaxation after a day of exploration, whether watching television or enjoying a glass of wine while discussing the day's highlights.
Accommodation comprises two twin bedrooms, with the first located on the lower level featuring a washbasin and sufficient storage. Ascending to the first floor, guests will find a formal dining room decorated with antique furniture and artwork, alongside a compact yet well-equipped kitchen with essential appliances including an electric cooker, fridge, microwave, and washing machine.
