The owner was friendly and offers great ideas of places nearby to see. Breakfast was continental, provided for us as self serve in our room. That was really nice as we had coffee when we wanted it and could move as quickly or slowly as we wished in the morning.

Stravithie Castle is like a wonderful step-back in time. The grounds are beautiful and it's a very peaceful, quiet place to stay. The proprietor, David, was very attentive and helpful and made us feel welcome. I would absolutely visit again if I return to Scotland and I would highly recommend a stay here to anyone!

It's a lovely castle! While the tour of the castle was fun and very informative, the castle was by in large not accessible due to host living quarters. My wife and I would have liked to see more of the castle itself and have a historical handout to keep. Obviously, the castle was the highlight. While we stayed downstairs in the old kitchen, which was by the was a pleasant experience, we had a desire to sit in the library and have tea or coffee and absorb the ambiance.

This is a beautiful property sitting in the forest. It was just outside of St. Andrews, avoiding the hustle and bustle. David the proprietor is the star of this place. We could have listened to his stories forever. We had the lovely apartment at the top of the castle with a sitting room, spacious bedroom, kitchen, and bath. Breakfast was supplied in the kitchen and had plenty of options. We drove about 7 miles into Anstruther for dinner.

Oh my gosh, this place is a hidden gem. The pictures do NOT do it justice at all!! We were blown away by our accommodations when we arrived. First, we were just expecting a bedroom and bathroom. We got a lovely kitchen, a sitting room, giant bedroom, and a bathroom. They also provided a lovely breakfast spread each morning. Not only were we blown away by our accommodations, the entire castle is just stunning! Staying here was absolutely a highlight for us for a week long trip around Scotland. We will definitely return! Also, the hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating! It is only a short bus ride into town and you can flag down the bus from the driveway. Don’t second guess, just book!
