missingWrote a review on 26 Octreally good breakfastcozy bedthoughtful touchesbuses distractionmain road
The room was beautifully decorated with complimentary gin and tonic. The bed felt luxurious and cozy. The view from the room was fine, right over the sea. Breakfast was a real highlight, with delicious options freshly prepared. Everything tasted fantastic. The service was great-attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Being on the main road, passing buses occasionally caught my attention, though they weren't frequent enough to be a huge distraction. I didn't encounter any other issues . The location was perfect for exploring Crail and nearby attractions, like St Andrews. I appreciated my time here.

Couples seeking luxury should stay here
I gotta say the warm welcome from the staff hits different. And then there was the breakfast, I mean they brought out these amazing cooked dishes, made it hard to choose just one.
It wasn't exactly cheap but you get what you pay for.

Loved the fancy room with a sea view and the warm, friendly service. Breakfast was realy tasty, we reminded me of we were treated like royalty. The location is perfect for exploring crail and st andrews. The cozy bar in the back was fun. Top marks for making our trip special!
The parking wasn't super convenient.

Luxurious surroundings with amazing sea views. The only downside, the bus level with the window occasionally was distracting. Perfect location for exploring nearby golf courses.

The complimentary treats in the room were a good surprise.
The tables at breakfast were a bit too small for comfort.

The room was so lovely and comfy. We had a sea view, and those little touches like complimentary gin and tonic made it special. The decor was on point and had great lighting. Bed was super comfy, and the bathrobes were a nice addition. Honestly, could have hung out in there all day!

Really good stay with great service
The concierge quickly arranged a delicious dinner for me at the restaurant, and I was blown away by the breakfast spread with freshly baked pastries. It's centrally located was great, but I wish there were more parking spaces available nearby.

The luxury décor of the Shoregate, with beautiful furnishings and good little touches that you'd expect in a high-end boutique hotel. The warm and cute atmosphere complemented my stay perfectly.
More accessible seating in common areas.
