About this property

A fabulous traditional cottage - full of character - sleeps 6

Sleeps 6 - St Christopher's is the very epitome of quaint, nestling in the heart of Crail but in a quiet and private location only a short stroll for the town's harbour and sea front. The cottage is filled with character and charm and boasts wonderful original features but still provides all of the home comforts you might need.

The ground floor of the cottage provides a lovely characterful living room which leads to a brand new fitted kitchen and separate dining area. Beyond the kitchen there is a further comfortable "Snug" for relaxation and television viewing. Also on the ground floor there is a double bedroom and a generous family bathroom complete with "slipper" bath and a separate walk-in shower. There is a separate cloakroom/toilet on the ground floor and a rear porch which leads to a beautiful south facing outside space for alfresco dining.

Upstairs there are two further bedrooms one double and one twin.

There is parking for two cars.

St Christopher's provides a wonderful base for exploring the East Neuk in spring or summer or equally as a cosy hideaway for autumn or winter breaks.

Comfy cottage

The property was as expected photos accurate. We had a very enjoyable stay visiting Crail after a 30 year gap. The beds were comfy plenty of hot water and cosy seating areas location was excellent . Lots of seating outside for those sunny days we managed coffee outside one morning . Lovely coastal walks.

Great place!

Not one but TWO nice sitting rooms. And not one but TWO bathrooms, though the listing only says one. The 2nd was not discovered until morning of departure. With 3 staying there it would have been nice to have known there were 2 baths. Other than that, though, everything was great: location, accommodation, ownership, facilities. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great cottage and location

We had a lovely time. the cottage was cosy and traditional, the kitchen well appointed, and the bathroom lovely and modern. The wifi had very good speed, and there were no problems with checking in and out. We struggled to get a large car into the driveway, but plenty of alternative free parking nearby. Thanks

We were a group of 5 and the cottage had ample spa

Very clean and comfortable and we loved the two lounges and fire places. T he bathroom was fabulous and very modern. We were very lucky with the weather ands able to sit outside. The outside spaces was ample and great for our dog. Loved crail and surrounding villages would come again.
