Cambo Snowdrop Spectacular and Half Term fun


With half term fast approaching we are planning our activities while staying in our holiday house in Crail. The aim is to have lots of outdoor fun without breaking the bank and we are so lucky to have Cambo House and Kingsbarns beach on our doorstep.

Neuk Hoose and Tappit Hoose are self catering holiday accommodation properties in Crail, Fife and we are ideally located on the Fife Costal Path, 9 miles from St Andrews and 5 mins by car from Kingsbarns beach. Kingsbarns beach is one of our favourites, it's generally very quiet, great for the dogs and the kids and there is an added bonus of being able to eat one of the best cheese toasties around from The Cheesie Toast Shack.
