About Crail Cottage
About Us
Seaview Cottage has been a much loved holiday home for the Duffy family for over 50 years. Anita and Norman Duffy bought the cottage from Jessie Stobie in 1966 and spent endless summer holidays with their daughters, Lynda and Laura, and various family pets over the years, playing in the garden and surrounding fields. Their grandchildren, Melissa, James, Olivia and Adam, in turn, all enjoyed the same wonderful freedom, and hope one day to return with their own children.
Seaview is available from May to September on a weekly minimum rental basis (Saturday-Saturday) and is an idyllic retreat for couples and families alike.
Seaview Cottage
Seaview Cottage is a traditional cottage, dating back to the 17th Century, with a history of a family of shoemakers. The cottage also provided accommodation for soldiers during WW2.
The house has a relaxing and homely atmosphere. It has been lovingly restored, retaining a great many of the original features, such as the hooks hanging from the ceiling where the hams were once smoked. Hand painted tiles by Anita Duffy, tell the history of the cottage and Anita's paintings of the surrounding countryside adorn the walls. The house is a traditional East Fife coastal design with whitewashed walls, crow steps and red pan tile roof.
