You're right on the water in this 1820 granary-turned-hotel, with calming bedrooms, bustling bar and restaurant serving excellent local fare

The tide comes right up under the bedrooms and lashes the windows in the bar when it's rough – you'll feel like you're on a sturdy boat. The bar downstairs with exposed stone walls is relaxed and filled with locals, guests and holidaymakers in summer; sip ales from local brewers here, or study the good wine list while you decide what to eat. All is sourced from local, listed suppliers and served in the upstairs dining room. The menu sports pub classics alongside plenty of seasonal seafood.

Bedrooms (one suite, the rest doubles or twins) all have sea views, large fluffy towels, Nespresso machines and soaps and lotions from Laura Thomas Co. You'll drift off under Egyptian cotton to the sound of the sea. Wake for a cracking full Scottish (with veggie version) or locally smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and other choices.

At low tide you can walk along the beach, breathing fresh air, examining rock pools, feeling refreshed.

Lower Largo is a beautiful village in the Kingdom of Fife, famous for being the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the 'real' Robinson Crusoe. The Crusoe sits overlooking the beach and harbour and is a great base for exploring the coastline.
Lower Largo has something for everyone: relax on the beach, cosy up in the bar or simply take a stroll along the Fife Coastal Path.
The East Neuk is one of Scotland's hidden gems – it was once the heart of Scotland's fishing trade on the east coast.
Discover the beautiful harbours of Crail, Anstruther or Pittenween, or visit Elie and enjoy some delicious seafood on the pier at The Ship Inn, our sister pub.
There are many world-renowned golf courses all within easy reach of The Crusoe such as Elie & Earlsferry, Dumbarnie Links, Kingsbarn Links, Crail Golfing Society, St. Andrews Bay and The Old Course, St Andrews.
St Andrews is known for its historic university and medieval streets. Visit the cathedral and botanical gardens, walk the wonderful West Sands, visit independent shops, learn about the history of golf and the medieval history of the castle and cathedral.
