A fabulous traditional cottage - full of character - sleeps 6

Sleeps 6 - St Christopher's is the very epitome of quaint, nestling in the heart of Crail but in a quiet and private location only a short stroll for the town's harbour and sea front. The cottage is filled with character and charm and boasts wonderful original features but still provides all of the home comforts you might need.

The ground floor of the cottage provides a lovely characterful living room which leads to a brand new fitted kitchen and separate dining area. Beyond the kitchen there is a further comfortable "Snug" for relaxation and television viewing. Also on the ground floor there is a double bedroom and a generous family bathroom complete with "slipper" bath and a separate walk-in shower. There is a separate cloakroom/toilet on the ground floor and a rear porch which leads to a beautiful south facing outside space for alfresco dining.

Upstairs there are two further bedrooms one double and one twin.

There is parking for two cars.

St Christopher's provides a wonderful base for exploring the East Neuk in spring or summer or equally as a cosy hideaway for autumn or winter breaks.

We loved our week at St Christopher’s. The cottage was cozy and comfy and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and we loved spending time in the kitchen diner and the outside patio. This lovely home from home is perfectly placed for the Fife Coastal Walk and the tidal pool at Cellardyke. It’s also only a short walk to the traditional pub at the Golf Hotel too! Thanks so much.

Ideal property for a family holiday with our grandchildren who loved being close to the beach and crabbing! The house was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Only negative comment would be that the bath towels are not very absorbent. Being the summertime, we were able to hang them outside to dry each day but this would be a problem in the winter.

Great place!

Not one but TWO nice sitting rooms. And not one but TWO bathrooms, though the listing only says one. The 2nd was not discovered until morning of departure. With 3 staying there it would have been nice to have known there were 2 baths. Other than that, though, everything was great: location, accommodation, ownership, facilities. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great cottage and location

We had a lovely time. the cottage was cosy and traditional, the kitchen well appointed, and the bathroom lovely and modern. The wifi had very good speed, and there were no problems with checking in and out. We struggled to get a large car into the driveway, but plenty of alternative free parking nearby. Thanks
