This quaint and quirky cottage is full of character and charm and will provide you and your lovable furry companion with a homely and relaxing getaway. Situated in an ancient medieval market place in Crail, it is rich in history and traditional architecture. Crail is a pretty fishing village with a miniature harbour that welcomes you and your fluffy-pawed friends with open arms to come and enjoy the crystal waters of the bay and the beautiful scenery that surrounds it.

 

Originally two cottages built on top of each other, the property has two front doors, one with outside stairs. Entering on the ground floor, you come into a large entrance hall that is perfect for towelling off sandy wet dogs! Spacious throughout, the ground floor cottage-style lounge invites you to snuggle up with family and friends and admire the views out of the large picture window. The twin bedroom leads out to the garden but cheeky little pups, beware, the garden is private but not enclosed. Upstairs comprises a further twin bedroom, dining room, cosy kitchen and the family bathroom. Crail is an attractive harbour fishing village and welcomes walkers and dog lovers to fill their boots and stretch their paws along its beautiful shores. In the summer months, it is host to the Crail Food Festival and packed with food and drink stalls, a real treat for all noses and senses. Why not take a stroll with your faithful companion along the Fife Coastal Path? It offers 117 miles of hiking adventures along some spectacular coastline that really will leave paw prints on your heart forever.

Photos on the website make the cottage look warm and welcoming. It was freezing when we arrived and we were shocked as to how dated the property was. We left and went elsewhere.
