Before we put wi-fi internet access into Sandcastle Cottage, our guests used to have to wander along to the Honeypot Café to use their wi-fi network. Although you can now surf the net to your heart’s content in the cottage, you’d be missing out on Edna’s great cakes and Graham’s delicious soup. Pop in and say hello next time you’re out for a wee wander round Crail.
Honeypot for great soup, delicious cakes, coffees and more
Whilst browsing on the internet this evening, I came across a mention of the Lovely Pigeon Pop-Up Shop in Anstruther. Looks like a lovely shop, although it’s only open until September, so you’ll have to be quick.

If you can’t get there in time, you’ll be able to find out more on the website: Not on the High Street, or by following Kirsty Thomas @lovelypigeon on Twitter.
Fun on the Water at Elie
When the weather outlook seems set to sun, a trip to Elie is a great way to spend a day of your holiday at Sandcastle Cottage. You don’t even need to pack your own picnic, as the lovely folks at Elie Deli will happily make up some crusty rolls or sandwiches for you. You can also buy coffees to take out and delicious tray-bakes for afters.
We like to head to Elie Watersports too, where you can rent all sorts of different things, such as kayaks, windsurfers, pedalos or go for the thrills and spills in the inflatable rings or on the banana boat. Angus at Elie Watersports will be on hand to provide you with wet suits and life jackets too.
Parking at the harbour is available for a small fee, but parking elsewhere in Elie is free. And if the weather should turn a bit cool during the day, you can always head up to the Pavilion Cafe at Elie Sports Club and warm up with a game of tennis or bowls and a reviving hot chocolate.

If you’re starting your walk along the Fife Coastal path at Sandcastle Cottage, this is one of the first sights you’ll see: the 16th Century Do’ocot at Roome Bay.
