  • 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.

Hideout camping pod (firepit, hot tub, no pets)

Liked: The location , right on the coast was stunning. A beautiful place to catch the sunrise /sets . The pods themselves are clean and warm with adequate facilities . They are situated to make the most of the beautiful views. For children there is a small park and of course the beach for rock pooling . The site feels quiet and safe for children . A lovely coastal path from the park in either direction provides a nice place to walk and explore.

Disliked: The hot tubs are cold on arrival and require at least 4 hours of long burning to get them to temperature. In wet weather some of the accomodation is across muddy and slippery terrain from parking facilities,without pathways so unpacking can be tricky. Although for both of these issues staff offered to help and even left me some logs to get the hot going .

From the manager: Hi Anna - thanks for taking the time to leave a review for us, we really appreciate it. We do have properties for hire that have an electric hot tub and we do our best to ensure they are warm enough on arrival day (weather pending as they are cleaned on the morning of arrival) so this might be an option for you if you come and stay again - which we hope you will!

excellent site with clean facilities friendly helpful staff
