The
Craw's Nest Hotel, Anstruther. Find the best deal, compare prices and read what other travelers have to say at TripAdvisor. Our family run hotel is set in two
acres of immaculately kept grounds and nestles in one of the beautiful
Royal Burghs in the East Neuk of Fife. The hotel, a former
manse, provides our guests with the ideal base to explore
the rugged beauty of the Fife coastline, experience a different
pace of life and enjoy the tranquility of Scotland's most
historic unspoiled area.
I
was raised in the fishing villages of Cellardyke and Anstruther
in the beautiful and historic East Neuk. The East Neuk is
string of beautiful fishing villages which pepper the shoreline
of the East Neuk ( the eastern " corner " ) of Fife,
stretching from Earlsferry to the Fife Ness. Much of Scotland's
medieval trade with Europe passed through these ports, a connection
reflected in the Flemish-inspired crow-stepped gables of many
of the cottages. Although the herring industry has declined
and the area is now a peaceful holiday center, the sea still
dominates village life. Tales
of the East Neuk.
The
East Neuk is an excellent " base " location, where
you can unpack, settle in for a few days, and have a temporary
Scottish home. Then you can take day trips to nearby places
such as St Andrews, Perth, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Dundee
and so on.
In
any of the East Neuk villages, even over just a few days,
you will get to know the people in your hotel and in the local
shops and pubs. When you become acquainted with a few of the
' locals, ' and are greeted by them when you meet in the street
or hotel, it will add a strong note of Scottish cheer to end
each days activities.
