Beautiful coastal stay
Pros:

Beautiful views and comfortable rooms, delicious food. Lovely small touches in the room.

Cons:

Breakfast and dinner service was a bit slow and impersonal. No one around to attend the upstairs bar, and light on bar tables not working.

Good, but overpriced
Pros:

Location very good, right next to the beach

Cons:

Bathroom had no working extractor fan or window so got very steamy. Room very warm overnight but thick duvet on bed - poor sleep. Expensive.

The most enchanting hotel on the Firth of Forth!
Pros:

Room was as oceanfront as physically possible! Waves licking at the base at high tide. Staff was kind and really made us feel at home. Breakfast was very well prepared and had multiple choices and the server made sure we had everything we wanted. Magical tie in with Robison Crusoe made this a memorable stay. Coffee service in room was top notch, espresso, plenty of real milk and a nice marshmallow cookie. Room was refreshed daily.

Cons:

It is an older property though this is part of its charm.

Lovely stay in a perfect little inn
Pros:

Gorgeous sea views. The waves are literally lapping at the bottom of your bedroom window (all rooms have this I think). Fresh clean rooms and bathrooms. Comfy beds. Lovely breakfast. Perfectly located for Fife coastal path. It’s a sister pub to the nearby Ship Inn in Elie which we also visited. Staff at the Crusoe was so lovely and helpful with tips etc and breakfast was good with nice cooked options. We also had dinner there on evening which was tasty.

Cons:

No working extraction fan in baths of either of our rooms. Maybe cover the bottom of the bed (the bases, the mattress part was protected etc) with something for hygiene and aesthetics as well.

Pros:

The Crusoe is a lovely spot. Our room was right on the water -- at high tide the water was literally at the wall of our hotel. It was a charming old place with modern amenities. The food was great. The oatmeal was the best oatmeal of the trip, and we had some really good oatmeal. Staff were quite helpful and friendly.

All in all we had a lovely time!
Pros:

Everything, location room, food and staff!

Cons:

We had booked an evening meal on both nights but had to wait for some time - one hour on first night and at least 45 minutes on the second night! Not pleased!

Pros:

La posizione. La gentilezza dello staff, carino il concetto del pub di mare con sopra le camere. Bella vista.
Letto comodo.

Cons:

Rapporto qualità prezzo veramente da rivedere. La struttura purtroppo è molto rovinata e “lasciata andare”, la pulizia della camera sommaria (angoli mai spolverati) piena di segni e di usura. Il bagno facendo la doccia si allaga e rimane umido. Dovrebbe costare la metà!
