    Nothing - even the weather was good!!!

    The house was really cosy but spacious - it had absolutely everything we needed and was a brilliant location for surrounding areas. The house itself was an easy short walk to a coop shop, pub, various cute shops selling local wares and of course the harbour. Keys were collected from a lock box and the hosts checked in that all was well - which it was. I’d definitely recommend the gables

    House needs work. The windows are rotten. The blind in upstairs velux is stuck. Can't open it. Blind in downstairs bedroom only opens half way up making the room very dark. There was no bath mat, making it very slippery taking a shower. A beautiful house but it definitely needs some TLC

    Very central, close to shops, beach and great area. The house was comfortable and homely.

    My only negatives shouldn't reflect on the location itself as they are all things I knew before travelling, so it seems a bit picky and trivial to even mention them but... 1. Outside Space, nowhere to have a little BBQ should the weather be kind 2. No private parking, that said there is loads of parking available so this shouldn't be an issue, you may want to unload then move to a longer term parking spot. 3. The lack of a downstairs toilet, or more specifically the lack of a second toilet/bathroom. It wasn't a major problem for us, but I could see it being one for a family where one or two like to hog the bathroom.

    Everything really, the location was perfect, a small walk to the beach, the bakers, the butchers, the greengrocers the Co-Op and two pubs, a pub / Italian restaurant was also within walking distance, and an amazing chip shop was almost next door. So everything you need within easy access. The house itself was lovely, well kept, full of character and very well stocked for our stay. All appliances, heating and electricity etc worked great and the bathroom was sizeable with a decent shower.

    Nothing not to like.

    Spacious, clean, everything you could want and a nice relaxing place to spend time. Stayed with 2 friends on a golfing break and the weather was pretty awful. When not being able to play it was the perfect place to stay. Also short walk to shops, pub etc. Very impressed with the Gables.

    It’s a lovely place with views (at least from the upper bedrooms over the Forth. I was there in order to go to events at the East Neuk Festival and it’s very close to the main venue and a short bike ride to events in Kilrenny and Anstruther. I would highly recommend The Gables to anyone thinking about a holiday in Crail.

    If I’m being picky, some more cutlery would be great but the house is kitted out with everything. Even milk, biscuits and tea there when we arrived. A very thoughtful touch.

    Wonderful location. Everything we wanted in walking distance or a short drive away. The house is cosy and relaxing.

    Great location, accommodation was clean and very homely. Well stocked and very comfortable for our stay. Chocolate, milk and wine was a nice touch after a long trip. Would definitely book again if we were in the area. Liked the Christmas decorations. Crail is a lovely village with good bus routes for exploring without taking the car, great for coastal walks and close to St Andrews. Check in and out was easy with key safe.
