About the venue

A barn wedding near Crail harbour

The Cow Shed Crail is a converted farm building used as a blank-canvas wedding venue, close to the village of Crail at the eastern tip of Fife.

The venue has its own cottages and a farmhouse for the wedding party, and these usually go first. If they are full, or you would rather stay in the village, our Crail homes put you minutes from the venue and a short walk from one of the prettiest harbours in Scotland.

Wedding weekend tips

Before you book

Book as soon as you have the invite

Summer weekends in the East Neuk fill up early, and a wedding brings dozens of guests looking for the same dates. The sooner you search, the more choice you have.

Travel together

Sharing a larger home with friends or family usually costs less per person than separate rooms, and gives you somewhere to get ready and gather before the ceremony.

Plan the journey home

Village taxis are limited and get booked up for late finishes. Book a taxi or minibus well ahead, or check whether the couple has arranged transport.

Make a weekend of it

Many guests arrive a day early or stay on a night to see the coast. Our homes have their own kitchens, so a slow breakfast the morning after is easy.

About us

A Family Business, A Local Heart

East Fife Holiday Homes is run by Jordan and Gemma, a local, family-run team who look after holiday homes up and down the Fife coast. We’re not a faceless agency: we live here, and we care about the villages our guests come to enjoy.

When East Fife Holiday Homes joined the Short Stay family in 2025, we kept what guests loved about it: the Elie office, hands-on local service and a carefully chosen collection of homes across the East Neuk.

Our ethos is simple: people first. Whether it’s a harbour cottage for two in Pittenweem or a big family house by the beach in Elie, every stay gets the same care.

“We’re proud to welcome guests to the East Neuk and share the best of this stretch of coast.” — Jordan & Gemma
