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.

Nice hotel on a site with lots of holiday cottages. Very little choice food or bar wise, menu looks great but the actual food is a little underwhelming. Friendly reception staff. Pool is alright but a little small.

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 castle is set in a beautiful estate and has many facilities such as sauna, pool and equestrian centre. our room was very clean and comfortable and near to the bistro where we had our evening meal and a delicious breakfast the next morning. the receptionist was very helpful and we even met the owner of the castle who showed us around the main restaurant. Naturally, as befitting a castle, it has lots of character. We only had one night but are planning on going back. The castle is nearby many fascinating east Fife villages for wandering around.

This was our first visit to Kilconquhar Castle Estate and it was a lovely break away. Bedroom (17) was clean, modern and spacious. Staff at breakfast time, afternoon and evening were very efficient and friendly, nothing too much trouble. We used the swimming pool and sauna which were super. Our only criticism was the bed was too small (kingsize would have been more comfortable) and the duvet too heavy. We were also unable to open the window (keep it open overnight) for some reason. We will definitely return.

We stayed in room 18. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was very nice. Plenty of cereals, fruits, toast etc and your main plate cooked to order. The reason I gave an average is the WiFi simply didn’t work and the bed smelled of urine. The room was a good size with a really nice shower room. There is a good leisure facility and plenty of grounds to walk around. Lots to see and do in the area. Ship Inn at Elsie is great for food and there is a lovely beach there. St Andrews is lovely.

Hi, we would like to make a complaint but very unclear how to do so on this app Didn't sleep either night due to the constant banging noise coming from the heating / hot water system. Reported this to the estate but were advised to contact yourselves. We have recorded the noise though the night and would like to talk to you about this. There was also a dreadful stroke damp smell throughout the building.

Wi Fi password provided didn’t work. No phone signal due to being in a remote location, hence no mobile phone usage. It also wasn’t made clear when booking that all rooms are entered from outside the building, like a motel.No sign to indicate the name of our Room, so some random guy woke us up at 8am banging on our door, thinking it was his friends room. Bedroom CH radiator didn’t work, so the bedroom was cold. Finally the room simply wasn’t worth the price point of £140 pn, as the shower tray was moldy, the leather settee had dried blue ink blotches all over it and the furniture looked as if it had come from a charity shop.

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.

We booked into garden suite 4 which was big enough for 6 guests so with 2 of us there was plenty of space to spread out. It was perfect. Apart from the fun on the first evening when we didn’t follow our instructions correctly and were in the wrong part of the estate, apologies to anyone whose CCTV caught us going around in circles, getting to and fro was very easy. The apartment was well looked after and had everything anyone could possibly want or need. The restaurant staff were all helpful and pleasant and the food very tasty. I enjoyed the Cullen skink while the husband’s favourite was the mussels he had for a starter. Overall a great weekend spent watching the Women’s Open Golf at St Andrews then returning cold and disheveled to get warmed through and having a drink and a meal in comfortable surroundings!

When we arrived at our apartment unit one of the bedroom 2 windows were covered with about 50/60 flies inside on the glass and the window in the ensuite bathroom was covered with loads of fly's when I went to report it the manager eventually came to speak to me no apology and tried to say it was just because of the hot weather I said can't be as the bedroom next door was fine she was very rude and arrogant considering she hadna even seen what the room was like herself,they sent maintenance guy up and his first words when he saw in room was bloody hell you can't stay here something as died around that area and we will sort you out with something else but when he went back to see manager she couldna even come out to speak to us she just sent out a junior staff member to say nothing they could do and were fully booked so no other units in hotel or in any of the lodges spread round the grounds which I found surprising as the place was very quiet with not many people going about and nobody using the swimming pool and leisure facilities,no apology again ,terrible customer services

If you are within ten miles of this hotel, why are you not booking this right now?! What a beautiful spot next to a loch and right on the bus line going up or down the coast. Wonderful restaurant and staff and very clean. Lots of activities - we were hiking the Fife Coastal Path and only stayed one night, but there were many families enjoying an entire holiday here. Nice bar, too. Indoor pool! Only one we saw during our trip to Scotland. We didn't use it but it's nice if you have kids!
