The cottage is so well placed for getting around Crail, with the Co-op, Butcher, Baker and pub within minutes of the door! The cottage had everything I needed and my little dog felt right at home. Comfy bed and powerful shower. TV in the bedroom for those early nights! I would definitely recomnend and would be happy to return. Lovely neighbours too, in the shared garden - Ted thought so too
