Spider haven

I am terrified of spiders and they were all over the place. I couldn’t get the microwave to work. It was a beautiful view from the front yard but I didn’t realize how far it was from the town as I didn’t have a car. Thank you

Lots of things to love about Crail and this cottage. Great location, clean and tidy and peaceful rural location.Host was easy to communicate with and responsive. We had a problem with the shower unit and i called the support team and they were also very responsive with an engineer arriving within 30mins; engineer was courteous, friendly and efficient as was the support coordinator.Regards comparative experience of similar units the contents were a bit "no frills" ie no extra bedding, throws, blankets or towels; likewise a wood burner but only 1 piece of wood! - admittedly it was Sept - though our experience is to leave at least enough wood for one fire. There is a washing machine but no washing tabs; only 1 binbag, no welcome pack eg wine, biscuits etc Small but goodwill gestures. All in all a great vacation experience, very peaceful, parking simple and roomy, easy access and no keys to forget! Would definitely return and/or the host's properties elsewhere.
