Beautiful Castle
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.

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!

Castle in the Woods
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.

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.

If you like an old Victorian experience this is a place for you. Instead of a single room, you get a whole Victorian apartment in the castle. Bring your own vine and snacks and enjoy the great view from the sitting room.

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.

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!
