Unique and memorable stay

Stravithie castle is an opportunity to experience something quite unique and special. The welcome included a brief tour of David’s home and interesting information about the previous owners. This was in addition to being shown our own accommodation which was spacious and comfortable. David’s dog was a most welcoming host too! I was most appreciative of the effort that David had gone to in catering for my gluten intolerance. A place that we would certainly love to return to if we are visiting the area in the future.

If you want a unique hotel experience this is a fantastic real ancient interesting property in a very quiet rural location. We had a spacious apartment, large bedroom with king size bed, large sitting room with period furniture to match the setting - with mod cons flat screen TV and wi-fi - also small kitchen with all the requirements for a continental breakfast including chilled items in a fridge and bathroom with shower. The property is surrounded by large garden areas and woodland with a stream running through it. The hosts David and Renatta were very pleasant and helpful, taking our luggage to our room and giving us the required info for our apartment and a brief history of the castle. The castle is a short drive from St Andrews, as the castle is not signposted the host David will send you detailed directions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stravithie Castle and would highly recommend the experience.

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!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience in every respect. Spotlessly clean with great attention to detail. It had that personal touch which is lacking in many establishments. The property was easy to locate due to the excellent communication from the owner. On arrival we were warmly greeted and given a short history of the property together with some very helpful housekeeping information. The accommodation was very spacious, comfortable and more than met our expectations. We will have no hesitation in returning should we be in the area at some future date. A most enjoyable and memorable experience.

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.
