"Sandcastle Cottage is wonderful relaxed place to get away from it all. Very relaxing decor, well equipped and spacious and lovely garden. Just across the road and you're in Roome Bay and access to coastal path. Cottage was immaculate and felt very safe and clean.
. "

Tip:
"At time of our stay the local Golf Hotel in centre of Crail had lovely outdoor bar and beer garden and their meals are good. Crail Harbour Gallery Cafe does lovely cakes and lunches. Cambo Estate has a great weekend craft market every weekend before Xmas and their cafe does great lunches and cakes. The coastal walk is lovely, we got bus to St Monans and walked back to Crail, a few places in Pittenweem and Anstruther to stop for food and drinks on way back! Had lovely day in St Andrews too, castle is open and walking along the beaches is invigorating! This is a fantastic part of the world to get away and relax! Our happy place! "

"Will confess to being rather nervous about going on holiday during these extraordinary times. However all precautions were appropriate and clearly detailed prior to our arrival."

Tip:
"Try a section of the Pilgrims Way walking route if the weather is good. Recommend Ceres to St Andrews.
Also, have a peep inside the doocot by the park. Great to finally see it open."

Glad to see that you have enjoyed walking the Pilgrim Way too, Alan. We've found it a quiet alternative to the Fife Coastal Path this year, and Sandy is off to walk the Ceres to St Andrews stretch again this morning. A very different experience to coastal walking but enjoyable too.

"Cleanliness marked down. Bathroom bin was full of rubbish which included used sanitary towels and they had been placed in a bin without a bag which was pretty horrible to clean up. Assume the cleaner had just forgotten to empty that bin.
We did vacuum as you obviously have had new carpet fitted as it was shedding and had to empty the vacuum which had been left full. However apart from these niggles we had a lovely time. Super cottage and hope to return soon."

Tip:
"Smokehouse in St.Monans was great booking easy and great service. Ice creams at the harbour in Crail very good as was the greengrocers. Our children really enjoyed the beach at Kingsbarns and the toasty shack was very good. Hopefully the loos will be reinstated at that beach!
We did seaweed foraging with Jayson at East Neuk seaweed which we all thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend."

Thanks very much for your extensive feedback. Definitely a point which will be brought up with our cleaners. We do have brand new carpets throughout the property, and our cleaners use their own vacuums so will ask that the guest one is emptied too. Great recommendations for things to do in the area, so thank you for that. Hope to welcome you back.

"Given COVID the kitchen limitations and work with bedclothes are OK. Minor difficulties, the felt protectors on the living room chairs mostly fell off as the adhesive didn’t work. New carpets needed frequent vacuuming because of the constant release of fluff which could cause allergy. But we had a very enjoyable stay at Sandcastle and Craill. "

Tip:
"Lobster available daily at the harbour! Crail Gallery coffee shop is excellent. Craill Pottery is interesting, good items. All followed COVID procedures making visiting relaxed. Beautiful beaches in the area. "

Thanks for the feedback. Brand new carpets this year do mean that we will have some shedding this year, but that's inevitable. Good to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
