The house is in a great location in the countryside. It’s basic, but that’s good. We were able to relax.

Highly recommended for nature lovers. The view of the Forth Sound and the Isle of May every morning is priceless.

We absolutely loved our stay at Nuttings Cottage. The location is beautiful with a lovely view over the sea and the Isle of May lighthouse. Our little one loved the little garden and playground as well as exploring the surrounding farm. We’d love to return!

Perfect wedding accommodation

November 2019

We stayed at The Nuttings cottage in Crail for the weekend when our friend got married at the Cow Shed. The cottage was perfectly located just a short 10 minute walk from the venue. It is well equipped with everything we needed and the views from the garden are simply stunning! Would certainly visit again.
