About this property

Sandpipers is a beautifully presented, detached cottage, tucked away just off the High Street in Crail and a stone’s throw from the picturesque harbour, beach and coastal path. The property has been finished to a high standard; built in 2015 it demonstrates great thought and attention to detail. Filled with luxurious design features, including underfloor heating, designer lighting and a bespoke kitchen with Dekton worktops, island/breakfast bar and integrated appliances, the cottage offers everything you need for a luxury and stress-free seaside escape. Upon entering, the cottage opens up to an open-plan sitting room with beautiful hard wood flooring, flat screen TV and plenty of comfortable seating available to relax on. This leads through to the kitchen, which has a fantastic contemporary style and includes a Krups Dolce Gusto coffee machine (do take some pods), instant boiling water tap, integrated Siemens double oven/microwave and touch controlled induction hob. There's a Siemens dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer and washing machine. The dining area seats six with French doors leading out to a beautifully private patio, perfect for a morning coffee, evening glass of wine or alfresco dining. Downstairs, there’s a generous cloak and bathroom, with power shower. Upstairs, there's a large storage cupboard with Bosch iron, ironing board and travel cot inside. The spacious landing leads onto two large bedrooms, both with wardrobes. The upstairs bathroom has a luxurious feel, equipped with a large bath and shower. It is just a couple of minutes’ walk from a beautiful beach and harbour, where you can pick up freshly dressed crab and lobster in season and there’s a fabulous craft cafe with views out across the water. You have easy access to the breath-taking coastal path, from which you can walk all the way to St Andrews or Anstruther. A few minutes’ walk from the cottage also puts you in the heart of Crail, with a number of hidden gems providing exceptional food. Crail is home to a number of excellent tourist attractions; why not visit Scotland's Secret Bunkers, an underground cold war bunker museum housing the BBC studio and switchboard room with two cinemas and a cafe available? Further afield is East Sands Leisure Centre, which offers a free form leisure pool, thrilling flume slides and a giant aqua run inflatable assault course, a perfect day trip for the whole family to enjoy. Sandpipers is the perfect property for remote holidays in this part of Scotland.

Crail is a former royal burgh, parish and community council area in Fife, Scotland. It dates back as far back as the Pictish period, as the place-name suggests. The most notable building in the town is the parish church, situated in the Marketgate from the mid-13th century. Though it has been altered, this is one of Scotland's most beautiful ancient churches.

    No issues with cleanliness as mentioned in previous reviews. To sum up, we had a lovely break in a quaint village with top accommodation.

  • Chloe

    Cottage was as described and had everything we needed. The property is more spacious than expecting, with plenty of space for us (4 adults and a toddler). Added bonus of lots of kids toys which our wee girl loved. Great location.

    Unfortunately, as referenced by previous visitors a deep clean is needed. On arrival my first task was to empty a bin containing used unwrapped sanitary items in the main bathroom. We found a leak under the kitchen sink . Judging by the amount and smell of the water it was not a new leak . To be fair when we contacted the housekeeper she came straightaway, cleaned it up and arranged for a plumber to fix it . I would suggest you make clear that the sea view picture is not a view from the property. In fact there is no outlook at all. The surroundings are rather untidy and run down .
