As the sun goes down on the last day of 2023 we wanted to thank all our past guests for all of their support over the year. We wish you health, wealth and happiness for 2024 and hope to see you all soon. Ian and Kate
If you haven't explored the East Neuk and St Andrews then you are missing some of the real gems of Fife. At this time of year there is nothing better than pulling on the trusty walking boots, call your dog to your side and head out to explore. Then treat yourself to bubbles and a relaxing hot tub when you get back tired but exhilarated. We have availability from January 6th for short breaks or weeks. Book online or get in touch.

Hoping for a white Christmas......?
Whilst we can't guarantee you that but we can guarantee you: relaxing in a hot tub, gorgeous countryside, dog friendly garden, a superb location for exploring the East Neuk villages and great access to Fife's spectacular coastal path.

The Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC), Scotland’s trade body representing the self-catering sector, has joined with other industry leaders to condemn the Scottish Government for failing to work with Scottish tourism on new COVID-19 restrictions.
Representatives from the Scottish Tourism Alliance, the Professional Association of Self-Caterers UK, Scottish AgriTourism, Visit Inverness Loch Ness, Visit Moray Speyside, Visit Arran, South of Scotland Destination Alliance and the Wales Tourism Alliance amongst others have come together behind the strong criticisms of the recently published rules.
The last-minute changes will have a severe and negative impact on the sector which has already been unfairly burdened by government measures, despite cooperating fully with government throughout the pandemic.
Ministers have decided that Scots can get together in so-called “festive bubbles” when restrictions are relaxed temporarily between 23 December and 27 December.
However, the decision was made without proper consultation with, or consideration for, Scotland’s already hamstrung £723million traditional self-catering sector, a decision the ASSC strongly condemns.
Of particular concern to self-caterers is the extremely limiting measure that will mean that someone from any given “bubble” intending to stay in self-catering accommodation will need to live in the local authority that the self-catering property is located in.
The ASSC has also slammed the government for failing to communicate adequately with the industry.
Worse still, the new limitations place an unfair burden on Scotland’s hard-working self-caterers who will have to enforce the rules themselves as it has been left to them to establish that visitors to their properties are members of the same bubble and that at least one household participating is from within the local council area.
The ASSC also condemned the fact that the poorly considered proposals deviate from the four nations approach and as such has caused confusion and worry for operators both in Scotland and across the United Kingdom.
Members of the ASSC were among the first to respond to calls to limit the spread of the virus by shutting down their properties, at great personal and professional cost, and have also led the way to economic recovery by reopening early with government-backed cleaning protocols in place.
The contribution the sector has made to the effort against COVID-19 has made it even more disappointing that the Scottish Government has made such a short-sighted, ill-considered, and ambiguous decision that will impact many Scottish small business owners in a negative way.
ASSC Chief Executive, Fiona Campbell, said:
“It is frankly devastating that the Scottish Government has acted in such a thoughtless manner towards our sector – they’ve created nothing short of a fiasco in our industry.
“Our sector has worked tirelessly, and endured so much strife, as part of the effort against COVID-19 so to be forgotten in this way feels like a stab in the back from a government that we thought we had a good relationship with.
“We can only hope that ministers listen to our concerns, and those of our valued colleagues across Scottish tourism, before all we have are a collection of empty properties, broken businesses, and shattered dreams.”
Marc Crothall, CEO of the Scottish Tourism Alliance, said:
“I have raised the issue of communication with government officials on the weekly STERG call today and again stressed the importance of industry having clearer and more timely communications re guidance both to avoid confusion for business and our visitors looking to book.
When every penny counts and people are stretched the need to make all coms clear to all from the outset is essential so business and visitors know what they can and cannot do and effective planning and forecasting can be done.
“It is difficult enough right now for all business’ to manage through this pandemic, whilst the industry appreciates that there continues to be lots of moving parts and everyone is stretched it’s all the more reason for the need for utmost clarity in all communications.
“This will avoid what has in the past caused much uncertainty, lots of upset, avoidable administration, and significant loss of business for some.”
Due to the lockdown in England (think that is now the fourth different type of restriction to impact our business!) we have had a cancellation from 16th November. We can offer short breaks (M-F or F-M) or a week/10 day booking. So if you fancy escaping to the beautiful East Neuk and exploring the fantastic scenery and coastal path whilst relaxing in your own private hot tub at night please get in touch.
For the reassurance of all our current guests and any future guests it was just to let you know that we have adapted all our cleaning protocols as per government guidance so we are 'Good to Go'. We look forward to welcoming you all safely at some point soon.
Just a quick update after today's announcement that we can now reopen Railway Crossing Cottage from Friday 3rd July. Having moved our bookings from w/c 3rd July and w/c 10th July this surprise announcement means we now have two weeks of availability so if anyone is desperate for a change of scene, beautiful countryside, walks from your doorstep and your very own hot tub to relax in we can help
As these Isle of May Puffins show we would just love to welcome you back to Railway Crossing Cottage. Well the good news is that we can and are looking to welcome guests back from Friday 17th July. Unusually we even have a little space left if you want to join us this summer.
We are working hard getting the property ready for it's first guests and obviously we will be strictly following all the government guidance on the new cleaning protocols.
So you can just relax and enjoy a fantastic break in the wonderful East Neuk 😎
Happy New Year Everyone. It was just to let you know that we have just released dates and pricing for 2021 so if you did fancy coming back to see us, and we don't have your dates for 2020 then you may want to have a look online at www.railwaycrossingcottage.co.uk or get in touch. All the best.
