About this property

Luxury cottage with garden and parking in the heart of the village. Sleeps 8.

Garden Cottage is a luxury self-catering holiday home set in private gardens just off the main street in Crail. It has three large bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate eight.

Spacious, modern and luxurious, it makes a perfect setting for a relaxing retreat with family and friends. The beach, shops and pubs are a stroll away and there's private off street parking for two cars.

On the ground floor you’ll find a large, open plan space to the rear of the cottage which accommodates the kitchen, dining area and two living areas.

High spec and fully equipped, the kitchen comes complete with a SMEG range cooker, microwave, large fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and all the crockery and cutlery you're ever likely to need. All you need to do is bring the chef!

To the side, a large dining table comfortably seats eight.

Beside this is a cosy TV area, ideal for a family chill out after a busy day exploring, with a large, comfy corner sofa by the fire and a TV and DVD player.

One of the favourite spots in the cottage for relaxing is the two large sofas at the back of the living area. French doors on three sides open onto the private, beautifully landscaped garden flooding this area with natural daylight and is ideal for spending a bit of "me time" relaxing, reading the paper and enjoying a well earned refreshment.

The spacious ground floor family bedroom has a king size double bed together with adult size bunk beds, triple wardrobes, a large chest of drawers and a TV.

Completing the ground floor is a luxury family bathroom with jacuzzi bath and "mains" shower over the bath.

Upstairs are two further bedrooms.

The master bedroom boasts a king size double bed, double wardrobes, a chest of drawers, TV and a spacious en-suite shower room. There's also a couple of comfortable chairs.

The large twin bedded room with built in wardrobes, chest of drawers, TV and views over the garden is delightful.

The fully enclosed rear walled garden means you can put your feet up whilst the children (or adults!) play safely to their heart's content. There's a large lawned area that is ideal for sunbathing or playing with a football. The patio has a selection of garden furniture and outside lighting so you can stay out long after dark.

About the host

Hosted by Alan

Host profile image
My brother and I live in Glasgow. We've both have growing families who we have brought to Crail on holiday for more than 20 years. We love Crail - whether its wandering along the coastal path with our dogs, golfing at Crail Golfing Society or enjoying coffee and cakes in the Harbour Gallery the village is a very special place.

Why they chose this property

When Garden Cottage came on the market we jumped at the opportunity. As long standing visitors to the area we knew it had one of the best locations right in the heart of the village but set far enough off Marketgate to ensure privacy. And the walled garden at the rear makes for a fabulous sun trap!

We think Garden Cottage is a beautiful, unique holiday home and it seems our guests agree!

What makes this property unique

Extremely private yet in the heart of the village.

Garden is very child friendly and fully enclosed - plenty room to play!

Rear patio is a real sun trap.

Huge open plan kitchen, dining, TV watching and sitting area means everyone can spend time together but without getting in each other's way.
