  • 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.

Pauline Love T.

Geodesic dome (hot tub, no pets, wood-burning stove)

Liked Location of Dome was great over looking the sea. Nearby toilets and showers which were spotless! Loved the log fire which came in handy in October. We were supplied to bags of logs.
Plenty of plugs to use in kitchen/games room to charge phones etc as no electricity in the Domes.
Location is great, short walk into Crail and short drive to St Andrew’s.

Disliked Walking on stones to get to hot tub, will remember flip flops next time!
On arrival the top of our hot tub had blown off due to a storm and the hot tub was filled with debris which the staff kindly took care of.
Toilets would benefit from a socket for hairdryers for people staying in Domes.
Domes have no wifi but we knew this before we booked

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Everything was well organised and the facilities were spotless only criticism was the toilet light didn't stay on for long enough but this maybe something simple to solve. Right on waters edge and a short walk into the village.

Disliked The weather but then again I am Scottish so should be used to it by now.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, as for the light in the toilet we have had it fixed all good now.
Hope to see you back in the near future.
