The hotel is ideally situated at the north end of the town providing lovely sea views, a short walk to the town facilities and harbour. The rooms were large, modern and clean with adequate facilities. The staff were friendly and check in was quick and efficient. We had dinner at the hotel and were very impressed with the abundant choices in the menu at very reasonable prices. Service was fast and the food was absolutely delicious with very large portions. The included breakfast was similarly delightful with a large number of choices to meet most tastes. We had the full Scottish breakfast which was huge and filled us for the rest of the day! In summary, we highly recommend this hotel for a perfectly stay in this ancient fishing port, ideally situated for exploring the beautiful East Neuk of the Kingdom of Fife.

Room was rather warm with no air conditioning. There was no where to hang towels in the bathroom or place to lay out a suitcase in the room. Breakfast was varied and plentiful and the staff were very polite and attentive. Pastries, for breakfast, would have benefitted from a cover as there were flies around the room. The loose stones covering the car park made it impossible to drag suitcases across.

Please do not read the reviews onHotels.com, read Trip Advisor, one mattress on floor and one camp bed, place smelt damp the smell was horrendous, we walked out and did not stay, £173 a total rip off, dangerous stairs, this hotel should not be on hotels.com, Manager could care less, he had our money and was not professional, I have booked loads of hotels with hotels. com and they have all been great, no complaints only great reviews worst hotel I have ever stayed, don’t go.

The hotel is a bit far out from the shops so unless you’re reasonably fit , you might need a car. Our room was large an good sized en suite. The other problem I would point out is that, iagain if you’re struggling with walking ,or require the aid of a stick or other walking aid there’s a lot of stairs to reach some of the rooms. My husband did struggle with them. Ideal for a one night stop over.

Lovely hotel and helpful friendly staff. Stayed one night as attending a wedding nearby. Our room was comfy and clean, good shower though nowhere to put stuff in the bathroom. Crail is a lovely wee town.

We had a lovely stay at The Balcomie Links Hotel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We appreciated the ease of the location and parking close by. The beds were very comfortable and we were well rested the next morning. I would definitely recommend the Balcomie Links Hotel to other friends and travelers!

Okay even if you don't golf.

This is a lovely hotel. It was a bit of a work in progress and may be complete by now. The proprietors were lovely. Our room was a bit cramped but others may be fine. The restaurant was nice and had a menu that varied from week to week. The breakfast was excellent.

Beautiful hotel with beautiful views

This was our favorite hotel of our 2 week UK trip. The room was modern and clean with sweeping views of the sea. We could see Isle of May from our bed. We had a top floor room and there was no noise at all. Comfortable bed. The hotel breakfast was surprisingly good...perhaps the best Scottish breakfast we had the whole time there. We had one dinner in the restaurant, which was fine but nothing special. The hotel is on the opposite side of town from the restaurants/shops, but it is a very pleasant 5-10 minute walk which didn't bother us in the least. There is a path that leads straight down from in front of the hotel to a beautiful coastal view and path.
