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.

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!

WOW! What a great place to stay. And it's a CASTLE!!!!! Yes, you're staying in a CASTLE. In SCOTLAND!!! Very convenient to the small fishing towns dotting the coast along the East Neck of Fife. And very short distance from Saint Andrews. We enjoyed a two night stay with breakfast. Room was spacious and very elegant ... as you'd expect from a castle. Owner David was very welcoming and helpful with advice and also offering up a great story or two. An absolute delightful human being. The grounds are walkable and there is outdoor seating. The castle is in the country so it's quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. But a great location for short day-trips. We loved our time there as it made for some fabulous memories.
