“Ideal for Traditional Family Seaside Holiday”
We were a 3 generational party of 6 with Gran, Papa 2 Mums and 2 little girls aged 4 & 3. The 1 double room & 2 twins were ideal. Beds comfy with good linen. Plenty of drawer space. Although the 2 front bedrooms do face the road the traffic is quiet at night. The owner has obviously responded to a previous review about lack of blackout blinds and these are fitted in all bedrooms. The galley kitchen is well supplied with all you need & has a good sized fridge / freezer and washer / dryer. The diningroom is a lovely bright area with access to the courtyard which has a large table & chairs ideal for al fresco dining. We were lucky with the weather so we did use it at lunchtime! There are a small selection of beach toys and little fishing nets thoughtfully supplied by the owner...something less to cram in your own car! The gate from the courtyard opens onto an area of common grass which leads to the costal path. The path is quite steep but the girls managed it and it leads down to the harbour & small beach. A great deal of shell collecting, paddling and digging in sand were enjoyed by all. We bought both dressed crab & lobster from the seafood shack at the harbour...both were great as were the fish suppers from the chippie on the main street. The local Coop was well stocked, the bakers was excellent and there is also a good butcher and greengrocer. I would describe the apartment as homely. It's practical but not overly fancy. You didn't have to constantly worry that the children were going to touch and potentially break expensive ornaments. All in all we had a great holiday at Sea Neuk!

“Good base but a bit unloved”

Response from the manager I must apologise for these cleaning issues. You really need to let us know when things like this occur as we can send someone in immediately to resolve the problem. Mistakes can happen, all that we ask is that we have an opportunity to rectify them. I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about the proximity of the road or pavement but it is not an issue that has been raised by previous guests. Rest assured the property is both loved and cared for. Kind regards David Fife Cottages

“Mixed stay at Sea Neuk”
On the plus side, the kitchen is well equipped, there are lots of books/games in the sitting room and there is a good view once out of the property and onto the coastal path. Unfortunately, the beds are very hard and uncomfortable, as is the sofa. Adding mattress toppers to all beds would help enormously. The bedroom curtains are not lined and so let in all the light from dawn onwards - not great with 3 young children. Again, better quality curtains would be an easy fix. Only one bedroom had a window that opened, so the other two bedrooms became very stuffy. The foyer of the building smells very damp and there is black mould on the back of the main door. On the whole we felt the property was over priced for what it was, but Crail is a lovely place which we would come back to - just not to Sea Neuk.

Response from the manager Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you found the beds uncomfortable - this has not been mentioned by any other guest in the past. I will pass on your comments regarding the curtains and windows to the owners. The property is not damp but the main entrance is communal and therefore not in our sole control. The price of Sea Neuk is entirely in line with, if not slightly lower than, similar properties in the area. Kind regards David Fife Cottages

“Lovely property in a nice location.”

Response from the manager Thank you for your review. I am delighted to learn that you had an enjoyable stay. Apologies regarding the shower drain and it is now rectified.

Response from the manager Thank you so much for your lovely review and I am glad you had a lovely stay at Sea Neuk. Thank you for your comments about the phone signal, unfortunately the village of Crail has very poor mobile phone coverage in general. As always it is a pleasure to have you stay at our properties and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

“The coastal path is wonderful!”
De cottage was spacious and well equipt and in a lovely village. But, we were not amused that there were neighbours on the topflat who always can look in your garden. It dit not feel free.

Response from the manager Dear Guest, Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that the garden was not to your liking. The property is advertised as a ground floor flat so, unfortunately, it is difficult to avoid the fact that there are neighbours on the floor above. We hope that this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of your stay at Sea Neuk. Best wishes, Fife Cottages

“A satisfactory and pleasant stay”
Sea Neuk was very comfortable and in an ideal location. It would have been nice if the garden had been secure - we have a spaniel and she would have been through the broken trellis fence in no time so she had to go out on a lead each time. A couple of complaints in the kitchen; a new teapot is desperately needed - the one there drips more tea than goes into the cup and it is rather discoloured and brown. Also the grill pain was in a disgusting state when we came to use it - after a good scrub it was useable but still very greasy. It had obviously not been checked when the house was cleaned Apart from the above, the accommodation as very comfortable.
