Set in the picturesque Kingdom of Fife, St Andrews Castle offers an extraordinary holiday experience for up to twenty guests, combining luxury and history in a stunning estate. This majestic castle, which has been home to the Earls of Dundee since the 18th century, boasts opulent interiors, a heated swimming pool, and a private beach, all while providing breathtaking views of the River Tay Estuary. Guests can indulge in elegant dining experiences in the chandelier-lit dining room, relax by the fireplace, and enjoy the convenience of private chefs or a well-equipped country kitchen for meal preparation.
The castle features a variety of lavishly designed bedrooms, including two super king premier rooms with en-suites and dressing areas, as well as additional super king and double rooms that share elegantly appointed bathrooms. For families traveling with young children, an inviting nursery room is available, accommodating up to six little ones. Guests can unwind in the light-filled drawing room, enjoy drinks on the terrace, or cozy up in the library with historic books. The large ballroom provides an impressive venue for parties, while smaller reception rooms are perfect for intimate gatherings around the grand piano.
Outside, the expansive estate invites exploration, featuring walled gardens, towering ancient trees, and a private beach ideal for bonfires. Guests can partake in various activities, including tennis, swimming, and excursions organized by the on-site House Manager, such as horse-riding and falconry. The location offers easy access to both the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, with opportunities for fly-fishing, clay pigeon shooting, and whisky tasting. A Scottish ceilidh in the ballroom, complete with a piper, adds to the authentic experience of living the high life in Fife.
For those willing to venture beyond the castle grounds, the region is rich with attractions, including some of Scotland's most prestigious golf courses, such as the Old Course and Kingsbarns. History enthusiasts can explore significant landmarks like the ruins of a Cistercian abbey in Balmerino or enjoy a picnic at nearby castles like Falkland and Glamis. With Edinburgh and Dundee just an hour away, guests have access to cultural experiences, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the HMS Discovery, ensuring a memorable stay filled with both relaxation and adventure.
