It's a very cozy place to stay in Crail. Audrey makes you feel right at home, the rooms are well-maintained and kept clean, and her breakfast is simply amazing. Location is conveniently near a bus stop and we reccomend the stay if you intend to travel around Crail or the neighbouring villages.

The second time we have come over to Colstoncraig in Crail. Alan and Audrey treat you like family and the accommodation is very homely. The location is perfect just a 5 minute walk from the most iconic harbour in Scotland. …

We loved staying with Audrey in the family home where she has lived all her life. She was friendly., welcoming and knowledgeable - what more could you want? Good breakfast to set us up for the day's walking. …

Very good B&B, run by a very pleasant woman. Nothing untoward about accommodation, lovely breakfast with opportunity to chat with other guests. . Crail is a very interesting venue to investigate, but beware the Fife Coast Path towards Anstruther; the beginnings of this requires scrambling over rocks, mountain goat style, but it's worth the try and Anstruther has numerous Fish and Chip Ships. Golf Hotel in Crail also has a good menu, but beware Crail fish and chips, the shop is not open Monday or Tuesday.

Audrey was so welcoming and helpful. I had cycled from Dundee and was worried about leaving my bike outdoors. Audrey locked it in the shed overnight and assured me it would be very safe. …

I stayed here for 2 nights and it was a cracking choice. The bed was super comfortable, the Fife Coastal path is just across the road, and Audrey the owner is full of energy and information.  …

Stayed for 2 nights with family. The rooms were spotlessly clean, lovely bed linen and towels. Really enjoyed the cooked breakfasts and Audrey was very welcoming. Our room had beautiful sea views. Short walking distance from the harbour.

A very warm welcome from Audrey, and a generous and hearty breakfast. This bit of the coast is blessed with small quaint harbours and Crail is no exception. When we are next in the area Colston Craig will be our first port of call. Also check out Audrey's daughter's art work. Stunning!

We had phoned a number of B&Bs in and around Crail looking for a room for a couple of nights, to no avail. When we called Colstoncraig and Audrey, the owner said she wasn't available but "she didn't want to leave us high and dry".  …

We booked a single and a twin room in Colstoncraig. Both rooms were comfortable, warm and welcoming. The hospitality we received from out hosts was outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Crail.
