Stravithie Castle

This property presents the unique opportunity for a true Scottish experience in an authentic castle. Hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful. We just say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Highly recommended. 5 Star review!

To actually stay in a Castle- not in the grounds, amazing!

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.

Very unique castle deep in the woods just outside st. Andrews. Our room, which had a bathroom, kitchen, an enormous bedroom and great living room

Very Quiet, large suite. Great place to unwind after a day at St Andrews

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.

This is a gorgeous castle. Our accommodations were perfect and much more than we expected. We will definitely be back.

This was such a fun property to stay at! David and his wife are lovely and accommodating. I'll certainly be staying with them again.

Loved staying at Renatta and David’s castle. Close to town yet remote and absolutely beautiful!

Loved staying at this private castle, even if it was the original maids quarters! Spacious room with french doors opening onto the lawn garden and creek below. Bathroom was fine and water on a timer but always hot. It is outside of St Andrews but worth it for the experience and peaceful ambience. Continental breakfast was in our mini fridge and replenished daily so we could eat at our leisure. No microwave which would have been an advantage for quick evening meals. Bed mattress is old and needs replacing but these are only the 2 things I was disappointed in. David the owner/host greeted us on arrival and was so welcoming and knowledgeable about his homes history that it was a privilege to be there. If you walk down the amazing treelined driveway and cross the road there is a winding, walkable path that that takes you to a Church and a cemetery that is worth reading for its history. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at the castle. David was very welcoming. The room was really a large suite with separate living room and kitchen. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom as small but adequate. Our only concern is the room smelled quite musty when we very arrived. It was better over time. The Old Course is no more than 10 minutes away. The castle was easy to find by following GPS.  I would not recommend staying here without a car. Overall a nice experience in a castle. Felt like Scotland.

Beautiful Castle

Stravithie Castle exceeded our expectations in privacy, scenic beauty, and castle living!  The owners are personable, welcoming and helpful.  A tour of the upper chambers helped us understand the history of the castle, whereas our room on the bottom floor opened to the creekside lawns and the walled secret garden.  The room was large, decorated in the manner one dreams of a castle to be, and had a separate kitchen where a very delicious breakfast was ready.  The owners make this castle a wonderful experience.

Castle in the Woods

My recent stay at Stravithie Castle was enchanting. This historic castle offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. The warm hospitality, classic rooms, and delicious Scottish cuisine made it an unforgettable experience. The surroundings are perfect for nature lovers, with nearby golf courses and beaches. I highly recommend Stravithie Castle for a delightful Scottish retreat.

Review From Kwame Acquah

The owners were amazing and gave us a wonderful experience with a tour of the rooms. They were so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. It is so peaceful and quiet at night, and the beds are very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful! We highly recommend it for anyone who wants a quiet, peaceful oasis only a few miles from St. Andrews. 10 out of 10 - we will definitely come back when we visit again!

The property is absolutely perfect. The room is clean, comfortable and all amenities including wifi are available. We slept better than we do at home. The area is very safe with no other properties visible for miles. The kitchenette was perfect, romantic and well stocked. The proprietors were very friendly, welcoming and helpful to our needs. What a dream stay.

Fabulous stay in a truly beautiful place. Rooms were spacious, clean and had loads if character. Contental breakfast already in your room which was great. Room had a seperate kitchen area where we had breakfast from the fridge. Bedroom had large double doors looking out to countryside and passing river. However must also say we staying in a castle full of history and character  hosted by GENUINELY the nicest people we have ever stayed with.

This renovated privately-owned castle has 3 rooms available with kitchen and stocked for continental breakfast.  Very spacious and enjoyable.  David shared the history of this almost 200 year old estate.  Finding the location was the only challenge but David directed us to the driveway that has no signage.

What a grand place to stay, and I'd recommend Stravithie Castle in a heartbeat.Our only gripe was the lack of signs directing us from the road and into the property, but once we'd found the right place, parked up and made a fuss of the beautiful, resident sheepdog, owner David gave us a thoroughly friendly welcome and took us up to our room, which turned out to be an expansive suite complete with living room, a huge bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.Breakfast items were all ready in the fridge for us, and although the shower took a while to get going, it was fine.David was open and honest in admitting the WiFi wasn't great, and the TV only picked up a handful of BBC channels, but we didn't care a jot!The surroundings were just stunning, the hospitality was first rate, and the dog was a joy.Overall, an excellent experience, and we hope to stay there again one day.
