Castle Rock Cottage is situated in the heart of Crail, a picturesque fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife…think winding cobbled streets, a small harbour with creel boats, and quaint gabled houses. This four-bedroom cottage sleeps up to seven guests, so it is the ideal size for family holidays with aunts, uncles, and grandparents. There are two bathrooms, so there won't be a longqueue for the shower in the morning, and you won't need to pack linen, high chairs, cots, or towels —they're all provided. With all your loved ones gathered together, we're sure that you'll make memories that will last a lifetime. There's also a lovely, south-facing, enclosed garden — a great space for you and your kids to enjoy relaxed evening drinks and good food on the patio, which boasts outdoor chairs and a table. Outside the property, there's also free parking. The Crail Food Festival is a highlight of the village calendar, with a plethora of stalls, tastings, and talks. This is certainly an event to add to your diary if you'd describe yourself as a connoisseur of good food or enjoy delicious dishes! We'd also recommend heading to the Crail Harbour Gallery to peruse local artwork and enjoy a beverage and a slice of cake, as well as the Crail Pottery workshop if you'd like to purchase a piece of stoneware or earthenware to remember your holiday at Castle Rock Cottage. Crail is just a short drive from Kingsbarns, St Andrews, and Elie, where there is a selection of beautiful beaches, perfect for family days out filled with sandcastle building, rock pooling, ice creams, and picnics. Whilst in St Andrews, you could also soak up some culture and visit one of the museums in the town —there's the Bell Pettigrew for budding biologists, the R&A World Golf Museum for fans of the ‘beautiful game', and the Wardlaw Museum for those interested in the history of the university. Last but by no means least, there is a fantastic array of cafés and restaurants in the local area… check out our blog posts on quick lunches, hot chocolates, vegetarian cuisine, burgers, and pizzas for more information! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Things to do - Snorkelling nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 11 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21980000/21975200/21975156/5af0b866.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Vinery - a townhouse that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms Crail - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space - Microwave 10 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=21975156&PinnedHotelID=21975156&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107130000/107128600/107128542/w1916h1434x2y3-72f998b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautifully renovated three bedroomed house with fabulous gardens Crail - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=107128542&PinnedHotelID=107128542&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/22000000/21995500/21995408/1eb8f71a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A coastal retreat just 100m from Crail Harbour Anstruther - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=21995408&PinnedHotelID=21995408&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92350000/92348900/92348825/674f3938.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### James Haven- coastal townhouse East Neuk Anstruther - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=92348825&PinnedHotelID=92348825&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34140000/34137400/34137400/744e34f2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A fabulous traditional cottage - full of character - sleeps 6 Crail - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=34137400&PinnedHotelID=34137400&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92350000/92349000/92348970/b79cef7c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Faolin- superb detached family villa, East Neuk Anstruther - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=92348970&PinnedHotelID=92348970&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95880000/95874800/95874775/813e1be9_edited_efe7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bass View- harbourfront home, Pittenweem Pittenweem - Kitchen - Washer - Microwave 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=95874775&PinnedHotelID=95874775&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120490000/120488900/120488880/aed782f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bed house in Elie centre, off street parking, enclosed garden, close to beach.
