10 High Street South, Crail - Traditional house, restored and extended
House with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden
Sleeps up to 6 in adult-size beds, no sofa-beds!

Crail is the most picturesque of the string of small fishing villages and harbours nestling along the East Neuk of Fife, its houses with traditional crow-stepped gables and pantile roofs crowding down to its harbour. The village offers excellent local amenities and the area is renowned for its coastal walks, quiet beaches and numerous golf-courses - Kingsbarns is only three miles away and St Andrews is only 20 minutes drive. A survey by Country Life Magazine of the "best places in Britain to live" placed the fishing village of Crail in fifth place - and the only place in Scotland to make the top ten.
