Bed was quite short. Tv sticking into headroom if using coffee making facilities. Bed linen did not cover the mattress at one side. Modern enough room with lovely bathroom. Overall just lacking. No way would you think you were staying in a castle. More like a motel door opens outwards onto courtyard.

Feel that the bedroom area should be upgraded, bathroom has been upgraded and was very nice. No lounge area to relax after dinner. Disjointed feel as reception was next to pool area, separate to castle bedrooms, and breakfast/dinner was in a separate building.

Rooms were excellent. Absolutely spotless. Food outstanding. Dinner and Breakfast were fabulous. Plenty choice, quick to serve and lovely and warm. Staff were amazing. Very tentative. Gentlemen serving breakfast was lovely. Only downside is that after dinner there is no lounge to chill and have a wine/beer. Had to sit in the Bistro which is perfect for eating but not for chilling. Sad seeing that it's such a beautiful building.

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.

Check in was easy. The staff was very nice. Main reception said we could get something to eat at the restaurant at 11:30 AM - not true. They did not open for lunch until noon. The rooms were spacious. There was a loud party in the private dining / party area. Luckily they got more quiet around 10 PM. Breakfast was good.

Beautiful grounds. It’s like staying in a castle / stately home. We stayed here while settling our daughter into the university of St Andrews so didn’t get to hang around the place as much as I would have liked but it was a very nice stay.
