Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Peaceful break
We took a break in the East Neuk of Fife Crail was the name of the village. On arrival I was amazed at the house and surrounding area. We have 2 dogs and the property being pet friendly is very important to us. Lots of room in the property for everybody, nice central location for trips to the shops and a fantastic base for day trips to St.Andrews and other locations. We would highly recommend renting from this company as they make sure everything is in place for a fab stay, but if there are any problems with the property you have contact details and they are very efficient in dealing with anything. We cannot wait to return. They also gave us lots of leaflets and information brochures to help plan activities as well

Amazing holiday home
brilliant holiday with lots of space and in a fantastic location. The kids (and adults) loved the pool table and table tennis in the garage as well as the selection of games. Crail is a lovely village well served with three pubs all of which serve food and it's only twenty minutes from St Andrews. we love this cottage so much we've already booked again for next year :)

Perfect accommodation well maintained in quiet area close to harbour
Perfect location with plenty of interesting place to visit in close proximity. Property very well maintained with every need catering wise provided. The garage was a great hit with the younger members as were the box games found around the house. One slight problem with refuse disposal but office very helpful. Would love to visit again.

A Large Modern House Ideal For Family Get-togethers
We rented this house for 6 days in October 2015. At winter rates, it worked out reasonable for our group of seven extended family members. Collecting the keys from Kingask's office near St Andrews was straightforward and they said we could just leave them at the property if returning them to the office on departure was inconvenient. Our first impression or arrival was that parking was a bit limited for our three cars but we managed. The house, however, exceeded our expectations. It is large, spacious and has been made very comfortable with plenty of sofas in the beautiful first floor lounge overlooking the town and sea. There are plenty of bedrooms and a huge very well-equipped kitchen. The place was immaculate and handy information and guidance is clearly displayed. Fife's convoluted waste management's system requires lots of wheelie bins to go out on different days. Thankfully, this was explained clearly. Situated back from the main road through Crail, access is easy and a walk to the main street which has an excellent fish and chip shop takes only a few minutes. There's a nice bakery, a Co-op store and various other shops, cafes, a wine bar and two hotel/pubs. The harbour is small and very attractive with a small sand beach adjacent. There are plenty of entertainment options at the property with large flat screen TVs in some rooms, a garage with pool, table tennis, darts and other games which came in handy on several rainy days. A large garden has decking and a picnic table. Everything was in good order but we had cause to contact Kingask for assistance twice. The mattress on the master bed was very hard and uncomfortable but it was changed the same day after we complained. One of our party broke off a key in the garage lock - their fault because they did not notice a sign warning it had to be removed before lifting the door - but Kingask sent a locksmith promptly to repair it. On both occasions, Kingask were very responsive, surprising in a way because I found booking wasn't easy via telephone with repeated calls and call-backs necessary. Overall, all of our party were highly complimentary about The Old Vinery and indeed Kingask's responsiveness to problems and we would happily stay there again, especially as pets are allowed for a reasonable supplement.

Dear Grahambrown26, Thank you very much for your lovely review of The Old Vinery. As you say it is a fantastic property for large groups and Crail is a beautiful town. We're sorry you had some issues getting hold of us whilst making your booking. As we are a small office we do use an out of office call handling service to take our calls when we are out of the office. The call centre then emails and texts the staff to alert us to a missed call. In response to our customers we have now changed our call centre. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay and we would be delighted to welcome you and your family back anytime. Kindest regards, Kingask Properties

About the neighbourhood
Legend tells us that the relics of the apostle Andrew were brought to Scotland by St Regulus. Having been shipwrecked off the Fife coast he founded a church on the site where the town now stands, establishing St Andrews as a prominent part of Scotland's history. Now most famous for its unrivalled golfing facilities, the town offers the visitor a vast variety of attractions and events from museums, beaches, restaurants, gardens and parks to the Highland games, the Lammas Fair and University occasions such as the Kate Kennedy parade. The town provides a unique blend of history, recreation and charm which has made St Andrews one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland today. We have a selection of properties in and around St. Andrews that cater to most tastes. The town centre locations are ideal for golfers and can provide accommodation to rival any hotel if you enlist the services of our chef, whereas the more rural properties offer a more relaxed and family orientated accommodation with children's play areas that include swings,see-saw, trampolines and even a small football pitch.
