    About the neighborhood
    Crail is one of the best preserved East Neuk fishing villages It has a thriving village community, with a local bakers, butchers, fish and chip shop, whole foods store, and 2 convenience stores.There is a long-established pottery, a local museum and a couple of charming tea shops and also a couple of pubs serving local produce for lunch and dinner. A visitor information office is located in the heart of the village. This is great golfing country. Crail has two stunning courses, Balcomie and Craighead, while the beautiful Kingsbarns links are only three miles away, and the world-famous Old Course at St Andrews is a fifteen-minute drive along the coast.Fresh crab and lobster is available from the harbour over the summer months. There are three small sandy beaches, rock pools and the rocky coastal path to explore. Two of the beaches are within two minutes walk of the cottage
    Getting around
    Hiring a car is reccommended - we can provide more details on request. The village is also well-connected by bus. The local Leven to St Andrews bus passes by each way every hour (there's a bus-stop 100 yards from the cottage) linking the villages of the East Neuk and the small university city of St Andrews.
    How to get there
    Crail is 10 miles from St Andrews, the home of golf, in the Kingdom of Fife. Trains from all over the UK stop at Leuchars, which is the train station for St Andrews. You can travel direct from London-Leuchars, 5 1/2 or 6 hrs depending on the train. Edinburgh Waverley Station is an hour by train from Leuchars. Edinburgh Airport is an hour and a half drive from the cottage (just under 50 miles). There is also a small airport at Dundee, 45 minutes away with flights to Heathrow and beyond. The Caledonian sleeper to Aberdeen also stops at Leuchars, so you can get on in London at bedtime and wake up in Fife.
