Wonderful

Lovely relaxing stay in the hotel with family. We were staying due to a family wedding in Anstruther. The staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay special, especially Carragh (sorry if that’s the wrong spelling) and Clare.
Thank you so much, we will definitely be back !

Great For Kids
It was great for the kids. Lots of fun things to do like slip n slide, go karts, slime making and float time in the pool but the villa was extremely tired with dated furnishings. Staff were always polite, helpful and friendly. Horse riding on site was super and the grounds are beautiful.
Staff were very helpful and pleasant on arrival , also throughout our stay
The accommodation was fantastic, very clean and everything thought about!
It was a bonus to have breakfast which was beautifully cooked
Facilities was too much for our overnight stay , but will be going back x
We stayed in a self catering cottage which was very spacious. The hotel had great facilities and the staff in the bar and in the reception were lovely, couldn’t do enough to help. Would definitely recommend it
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - all the staff were so friendly. What a fantastic place! The only thing I did think was that we were given clean towels every day which was de-luxe but we would have been happy to have kept them for longer! Same with the soap!!!
We dined in the Lindsey room on the Wednesday. We’re disappointed with the service. Ordered a bottle of wine and when it came it was just put in the table. Wasn’t offered a taste to see if it was ok.we had to pour it ourselves.Were only offered a set menu although an A La Carte menu was on Website. The Bistro on the other hand was excellent for both breakfast and dinner the second night. Staff there were very friendly
and helpful. Minor point in rooms was lack of information re Wi-fi and facilities. They were mentioned on check in but a reminder would have been helpful.
Kilconquhar Castle Estate Villa was the perfect location to celebrate our Son’s 40th birthday.
Chloe and Yvonne in reception were very friendly and welcoming.
We had a lovely meal in The White Cockade Bistro and Jamie Lee and Valentina were both excellent in serving us.
I enjoyed my early morning swim before we set off for a walk around Elie.
Reception assistants were incredibly kind and helpful. The grounds are beautifully kept, we had a villa overlooking the horse run. Lots of amenities, only thing that would make it better was staying more than one night!

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.
