Home to the Earls of Dundee since the 18th Century, this one-of-a-kind castle is now available to rent as a holiday home. Enjoy an elegant dinner on the chandelier lit dining table, with the crackle of the fireplace behind you and views of the estate outside. Private chefs are available to book to help cater delicious meals for your guests, or you can choose to make use of the wonderful warm country kitchen, which is stocked with all you need to cater from cups of coffees to home-cooked meals.
Enjoy drinks on the elegant terrace, with a welcome bar on arrival, or take your cocktails in the light-filled drawing room. Browse the historic books available in the castle’s own well-stocked library, cosying up by the fire with a rare find. If you’re looking for a special night of entertainment, the large ballroom provides a prestigious place to host a party, whilst smaller scale, yet lively, evenings can be spent around the grand piano in one of the cosy reception rooms.
Sleep amongst the lavishly designed bedrooms with an excellent choice of rooms. There are plenty of bedrooms to choose from (16 in fact!) set across two floors, ranging from single beds to Super-King rooms, many with en-suite or private bathrooms. For groups with young children an inviting nursery room accommodates up to six little ones for the ultimate sleepover with bunk bed and sofa areas.
Outside, the expansive estate is at your disposal to explore and discover throughout your stay. Walk amongst the walled gardens and towering ancient trees under huge starry skies. Have a bonfire on your own private beach and look out for the local otters and seals that often can be seen frolicking in the water. With a tennis court, delightful heated swimming pool and glorious terrace it will be hard to tempt your guest back inside of an evening, with such wonderful natural surroundings available throughout your stay.
With the help of the on-site butler, there are many opportunities for excursions and activities from horse-riding to falconry and beyond, to allow you and your party to truly live the high life in the Kingdom of Fife.
- Fife Castle can comfortably sleep 30 guests and 4 children (in bunk beds) across 16 bedrooms. A further two children can sleep on roll out divan beds in the Nursery room, and an additional two bedrooms are available for staff (on request, subject to an additional cost).
- For even larger groups, there are also 8 en-suite bedrooms (2 twin bedrooms and 6 King bedrooms) in the stables. Please enquire for pricing if interested.
- Quiet and non-intrusive butler lives on-site in a separate wing, they will be very happy to help.
- Young children should be supervised in the swimming pool and at the private beach. Note that the swimming pool is located in the walled garden, a short walk from the castle.
