The best farm stays near Crail

·

Crail is one of a string of quaint little fishing villages that are dotted along the East Neuk coastal road south of St. Andrews. The historic fishing village features a jumble of cobbled streets and stone cottages that tumble down to the cliff-sheltered harbor. The town lies along the Fife Coastal Path and is an ideal base whether you’re tackling the entire 116-mile long-distance walking route or just want to wander around Crail’s pretty streets. Campers have options, too, whether you prefer parking in a caravan site or staying in a glamping dome.

94km from Crail · 15 units · Tents, Glamping
*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. CAMPING WILL RETURN IN SPRING 2026.* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

The best farm stays near Crail guide

Where to go

Around Crail

Perched on the rocky shore, just off the Fife Coastal Path, and within a short walking distance of Crail’s restaurants, pubs and tearooms. Sauchope Links Holiday Lodge & Caravan Park offers plenty of touring pitches in addition to glamping domes and beach huts and top-notch facilities that include a heated outdoor swimming pool.

Anstruther

Four miles down the coast from Crail, Anstruther is a slightly larger fishing village that is famed for its excellent fish n’ chip shops and bustling harbor. In the spring and summer boat trips depart from here to the Isle of May, an uninhabited island where the cliffs teem with seabirds, including tens of thousands of puffins. A mile east of the harbor, Silverdyke Caravan Park has plenty of hard-standing touring pitches for those traveling by caravan/motorhome, as well as static caravans, but no tent pitches. 

Around St. Andrews

Heading inland, 13 miles northwest of Crail, Drumcarro Farm is a small and quiet site in a rural setting that offers a handful of pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents. Staying here puts you conveniently in-between St. Andrews, with its lively atmosphere, top-class restaurants and golfing, and the charming fishing villages of the East Neuk.

When to go

Visiting between May and September offers the best chance of warmer, drier weather, although note that Crail gets crowded with visitors on summer weekends and during school holidays (July/August). April and May are the best times to see breeding puffins on the Isle of May and June’s Crail Food Festival is a treat.

Know before you go

  • Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
  • A convenient bus service connects the towns along the coast. If planning to make several journeys in one day, buy a DayRider ticket for unlimited rides.
  • You can find basic provisions in Crail, but will find bigger shops and more options in St. Andrews.
