Cottage to rent in Crail, Central Scotland

Accommodation details

Situated in what was once the largest medieval marketplace in Europe and originally two cottages built on top of each other, this charming two-bedroom holiday home is within walking distance of the thriving town of Crail. Stroll the cobbled streets to the pretty harbour and past the 12th-century kirk.

Practise your swing on Crail’s two golf courses or choose from the 38 other courses in Fife alone. A delightful example of the traditional architecture of the East Neuk of Fife, your unusual holiday cottage has two front doors, one reached via the outside forestair. With a twin bedroom on each floor, this quirky house is ideal for friends holidaying together. Step through the lower front door and into the spacious entrance hall where there’s plenty of room to leave walking boots and wellies.

A door leads into the welcoming sitting room bathed in natural light from the large picture window overlooking the garden. Squishy sofas invite you to sink into them after a day of walking and adventures. The first of the bedrooms is on this lower level, a pretty twin bedroom with wash basin and ample storage for your belongings. Head upstairs to the first floor where a hall leads to the compact kitchen, which although small, has everything you need to prepare simple suppers.

Dine together in the formal dining room with antique furniture and artwork adorning the walls. A second cosy twin bedroom overlooks the rooftops of Crail. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC. Outside is a private south-facing garden, the perfect sun trap to relax in.
