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.
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 in a quiet neighborhood! The radiator worked great and so did the renovated bathroom/shower. The owner David is super friendly and a joy to chat with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Host very available, friendly, and informative. Host took us in to town in his personal car and pointed out some places of interest. Made our stay enjoyable.
Amazing and unique place to stay if you’re visiting St. Andrews. A short cab or bus ride to town or the many golf courses. Very quiet in the evenings and we slept like stones. Highly recommended!
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.
David is a fabulous host. Lovely rooms in a stunning setting in beautiful gardens. David gave us great ideas of things to do in the area. Highly recommend!
Overall the experience was positive. The location is beautiful, but we weren't there long enough to learn the bus route in andvout of town.
The bachelor suite was adorable but musty as it is in the basement. If you have lung issues I wouldn't recommend. But otherwise a stellar experience.
