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!

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.

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!

Halte délicieuse
Pros:

Nous avions peur en découvrant le bâtiment extérieur mais il s’avère que l’hôtel est superbe
Les chambres sont élégantes et confortables avec une vue époustouflante sur la mer ,le restaurant présente des mets délicieux
L’accueil a été très chaleureux et professionnel
Nous avons voyagé avec trois couples d’amis et nous étions tous très contents de ce séjour

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner était délicieux mais le matin de notre séjour il y avait semble t il une petite i organisation car nous n’étions pas nombreux et le service était lent et le buffet non ravitaillé a mesure des arrivées
Sinon tout était parfait
