We enjoyed our stay in Ardvar.
We enjoyed our stay in Ardvar. Location ideal, cottage was clean and comfortable although small. We would certainly recommend it, hope to return.
This property suited us perfectly, just a few steps away from our daughter's house. Comfortable, clean and cosy. Hope to return on our next trip.

I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough.
I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. I don’t think the photographs do it justice. Fully equipped & great attention to detail. Location is superb, on high street so close to all amenities. Bedrooms at back of property for an excellent nights sleep. There is also a small courtyard at the back which we used a lot as the weather was superb when we visited. We have stayed in a few other rental properties but this is the first to fully appreciate what make their guests comfortable & feel at home. We will hopefully be making a return visit.

This nice @ comfortable holiday let is well equipped, spotless clean and situated in great location
This nice @ comfortable holiday let is well equipped, spotless clean and situated in great location right in middle of lovely Crail. We managed to park right outside which was great. People in Crail are so friendly, we visited regularly for many years it was so good to be back.My reason for giving 3 for comfort is all radiators were turned off @ house was cold. We could not get heating to go up past 16 all weekend. Luckily weather improved so it was okay for second two days. We have had cold summer, keep it warm let guests turn it down
We absolutely loved this property and would certainly stay there again. The location is ideal
It’s always really nice to find a property that you love. The location is ideal for exploring The Fife Coast. The property was very clean and ideal for us as a family of 3. The kitchen was really spacious and the shower was great. We love Crail and the flat and would certainly recommend it and would love to stay there again.
