It offers four elegant bedrooms, several with sea or village views, along with a traditional bar steeped in history and a modern dining room serving a seasonally changing menu made from local ingredients. The bar hosts session nights twice a month with live folk and acoustic music, open to all. Free parking is available behind the hotel and on the high street, and a bus stops right outside. Nearby you'll find Crail's harbour, beaches within thirty minutes' drive, and Crail Museum and Heritage Centre just a short stroll away.
