Overview
Description
Railway Crossing Cottage is a charming detached stone cottage, situated in a peaceful rural location in The East Neuk of Fife, close to the villages of Crail and Anstruther. The cottage was originally a crossing keeper’s cottage on the now disused Anstruther to St. Andrews Railway. It has recently been beautifully and sensitively restored and extended by us, providing a cosy and warm holiday retreat for you, your family and friends. A perfect place to relax and unwind.There are 2 bedrooms at the property, a double room and a twin/double room, and a lovely characterful open plan sitting room and kitchen/dining area. The sitting area has a cosy log burner, wooden flooring and comfy leather sofas. The accommodation is very accessible, as it is all at ground floor level, with easy access to the garden via double patio doors.
There is a private hot tub on the decking area, with wonderful views to the surrounding countryside. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and is secure and fully fenced. There is a second sun terrace for relaxed dining, with a wooden table and chairs, sun loungers, sun parasol and barbeque. We have ample parking for 2 cars at the front of the cottage. The property is dog friendly and has the added benefit of free wi-fi.
Railway Crossing Cottage is a perfect location for exploring the quaint fishing villages of The East Neuk, the historic town of St. Andrews and the scenic coastline of Fife. The nearby villages of Crail and Anstruther are wonderful for exploring, with their picturesque fishing harbours, great shopping, pubs/restaurants and numerous tourist attractions. Boat trips from Anstruther to The Isle of May are most popular.
We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely cottage.

Leave ReviewExcellent cottage for 2, 3 or 4 in Fife
By Martin on 09-Dec-2024Perfect cottage, hidden from view of onlookers but easy to find and with easy (vehicular) access to Anstruther, Elie, Crail and Pitenweem. Well administered and also dog-friendly! Nice to find milk and wine in the fridge for us. And a simple but effective hot tub under the stars. We may well return.
Review of Railway Crossing Cottage
By Alan on 25-Oct-2024We enjoyed our stay at the above. The cottage was welcoming, cozy, very clean and beautiful throughout. The beds were super comfortable and garden space was excellent. We would like to visit again when the nights are lighter and would recommend to others.
Great little hideaway
By Alan on 13-Sep-2024Lovely little cottage ideally placed to explore the east Neuk of Fife. Plenty of everything to make your stay homely. Interesting to watch the farmers at their day too. Would recommend coming up the road from the east as the western stretch is bumpy.
Relaxing week at Railway Crossing Cottage
By John on 23-Jun-2024We had a great stay exploring the East Neuk from this lovely cottage. The kitchen was one of the best equipped that we have seen for a good while and the rest of the cottage was just as we had hoped from the photos. A welcoming bottle of wine was a lovely touch along with the welcome card. We used the eating out suggestions from the information pack and had a lovely meal at The Dreel Tavern in Anstruther. Loved being able to walk down to the beach each evening and sit listening to the waves. We would definitely come back to Railway Crossing Cottage.
