The Fife region
Our properties are based in several locations along the coast from St. Andrews to Crail. The area is rich in history and has many attractions historical and sporting, the main one being golf. The nearest train station is Leuchars and we are about 1hour 20mins North of Edinburgh. From Glasgow we are a full 2 hours driving. If coming to the area it is probably best to have a car as plenty of beautiful and interesting places can be found within a short drive from our locations. If you are planning on not hiring or bringing a car, it is best to stick to our properties within the town centres of St. Andrews or Crail. If arriving by plane the quickest travel option is to hire a car from either Glasgow or Edinburgh airport. Where as if you are arriving by train it is easiest to continue by train from Edinburgh to Leuchars and then hire a car locally (the train takes about 6 hours from London).
The Crail area
A small, traditional fishing village within the East Neuk. Seemingly untouched by time, the traditions of the old East Neuk fishermen live on in this untainted part of Scotland. Situated on the Firth of Forth, originally Crail and other such villages in the area provided Scotland with vital sea ports for trade with the low countries. The village now offers a peaceful and unhurried lifestyle within a picturesque environment which has attracted artists since Victorian times, and boasts one of the most photographed harbours in Scotland. It also claims the distinction of having the 7th oldest golf club in the world. Most of our properties in Crail are within walking distance of the village, meaning you can easily walk to the shore, coastal path and Crail beaches. Most have sea views and offer a more relaxed pace of holiday, however there is plenty to do for the more adventurous.
