Wonderful stay in this charming, quiet, self contained room. Good wi-fi, nice kitchen and good, modern bathroom. My only wish is that the room would have had a bath but I knew it didn’t at the time of booking, so no complaints. Hosts were excellent, very friendly and were very respectful of privacy.

Loved staying at this private castle, even if it was the original maids quarters! Spacious room with french doors opening onto the lawn garden and creek below. Bathroom was fine and water on a timer but always hot. It is outside of St Andrews but worth it for the experience and peaceful ambience. Continental breakfast was in our mini fridge and replenished daily so we could eat at our leisure. No microwave which would have been an advantage for quick evening meals. Bed mattress is old and needs replacing but these are only the 2 things I was disappointed in. David the owner/host greeted us on arrival and was so welcoming and knowledgeable about his homes history that it was a privilege to be there. If you walk down the amazing treelined driveway and cross the road there is a winding, walkable path that that takes you to a Church and a cemetery that is worth reading for its history. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Beautiful Castle
We enjoyed our stay at the castle. David was very welcoming. The room was really a large suite with separate living room and kitchen. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom as small but adequate. Our only concern is the room smelled quite musty when we very arrived. It was better over time. The Old Course is no more than 10 minutes away. The castle was easy to find by following GPS. I would not recommend staying here without a car. Overall a nice experience in a castle. Felt like Scotland.

Castle in the Woods
Stravithie Castle exceeded our expectations in privacy, scenic beauty, and castle living! The owners are personable, welcoming and helpful. A tour of the upper chambers helped us understand the history of the castle, whereas our room on the bottom floor opened to the creekside lawns and the walled secret garden. The room was large, decorated in the manner one dreams of a castle to be, and had a separate kitchen where a very delicious breakfast was ready. The owners make this castle a wonderful experience.
