A beautiful seaside getaway right in the heart of Crail. The property is beautiful and incredibly well kitted out, especially the kitchen. It was spotless, and Premier Stays Fife were super hosts too. Really clear instructions and very responsive. We’d love to come back!

Ideal accommodation for families, we were 5 adults and 4 children and they loved sleeping together in the same room with 2 bunk beds. Everything is clean, well-equipped kitchen, with all kinds of basic services. The village is beautiful and quiet. We were delighted.

We loved our stay at Crab Shack in Crail. The house was beautifully clean and well appointed- a real home from home. The lovely walled garden was an unexpected treat

Stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding at the cow shed. Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anyone. The house itself is beautiful, great facilities and a lot more that we bargained for. Great location to shops the local pub, and also a 20 min walk to and from the wedding venue.

We stayed at the Crab Shack in Crail. It is beautifully decorated, clean and spacious with everything you need. It is in a great location just a short walk from the harbour and the stunning beaches. It is close to shops and cafes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with our daughter and we will be back.
