  • Among spectacular scenery a short stroll from the beach at Crail
  • A 20-minute drive from St Andrews and 45 from Fife
  • Heated outdoor pool and indoor play area
Golfers, boaters, beach fans, families, couples and heritage hunters: you'll surely approve of Sauchope Links Park in Scotland's Fife. On the eastern tip of Fife, this is a place positioned to soak up sun, with spectacular Scottish views, and within walking distance of the historic town of Crail. It's a short drive from famed St Andrews and has outdoor pursuits aplenty to pursue in the surrounding area. And those beaches? The local sands at Crail are only a few minutes' walk away. Amenities are kept spotless to ensure guests have as comfy and relaxed a time as poss; you'll find pursuits on site too, such as a heated outdoor pool and an indoor play area for the kids with pool and a football table. You won't have to leave the park if you need emergency bits and bobs, as the site shop stocks basic essentials. But if you do want to stockpile stuff to be sure, local supermarkets are 10 minutes' walk away at Crail along a most scenic coastal path.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The views were lovely of the sea.

Disliked The showers did not work on the second morning and I felt the pitches were too clots together. The toilet block was tired and dated and was in need of modernisation. The price was very expensive also.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The area was nice and plenty of showers and toilets.

Disliked The touring pitch are was far from the video unlike the pictures when booking. To use anything in the kitchen you had to pay again. To use the wifi we had to pay too. A lot of stuff which was listed as a facility came with an extra cost
