Check in was easy. The staff was very nice. Main reception said we could get something to eat at the restaurant at 11:30 AM - not true. They did not open for lunch until noon. The rooms were spacious. There was a loud party in the private dining / party area. Luckily they got more quiet around 10 PM. Breakfast was good.

Beautiful grounds. It’s like staying in a castle / stately home. We stayed here while settling our daughter into the university of St Andrews so didn’t get to hang around the place as much as I would have liked but it was a very nice stay.

Lovely stay

Lovely stay at kilconquhar castle estate, great location for exploring the east neuk of fife with great facilities such as tennis, swimming, badminton etc. Pitty sauna wasn't in separate changing rooms but didnt stop us using it. All staff friendly and pleasant to deal with. Good banter with the bar & kitchen staff. Great Tuesday steak night offer & great choice for breakfast! Would recommend.

The property has a stunning back drop and lovely driving up the long sweeping drive. Rooms were nice, especially my club room. The swimming pool and sauna was a nice addition and breakfast good which was included. You could choose from the menu. The server at breakfast was a lovely, funny chap. Only downside really was the bistro. We just had soup as it finished serving at 8pm and we didn't arrive til 6:30pm and wanted to have a swim. Food was nice. It would have been nice to have a lounge area as a bar as it a bit sterile in the bistro and you don't really want to be sat at a dining table just for drinks. Surely you could have a small lounge area served by the bistro bar in such a large place.

Comfortable stay

We stayed one evening before walking the Fife Coastal Path from Elie to Pittenweem. Room was quite comfortable, excellent shower, lovely dinner in their bistro. They have many more amenities than we could use in our one night — lovely swimming pool. Would definitely return.

We really did enjoy our stay at Kilconquhar Castle Estate. The estate is lovely and there is much to recommend the surrounding scenery and well maintained gardens. However, the decor is tired, with flaking paint on the walls of our room and the woodwork overall on the doors and in the corridor badly needs freshening up. The wardrobe runners were old, rusty and dirty. The bathroom had some mould forming on parts of the shower, however, overall it was quite clean. The shower itself looked great but was highly disappointing due to the lack of power. Barely more than a trickle and it took a long time to remove the shampoo and conditioner from my hair. I found the bed very comfortable and had a great sleep. It was very dog friendly and my cocker spaniel was delighted with his stay and his morning walk through the estate. The breakfasts were delicious, well cooked and prepared. Although we did not use them, there plenty of amenities to keep adults and children alike, entertained. I would heartily recommend this destination, whether or not, you are a pet parent.

It was great for the kids. Lots of fun things to do like slip n slide, go karts, slime making and float time in the pool but the villa was extremely tired with dated furnishings. Staff were always polite, helpful and friendly. Horse riding on site was super and the grounds are beautiful.
