Kilconquhar Castle Estate

Kilconquhar Castle Estate

6/10 Okay
"The estate is well maintained and the location is good if you travel around Fife. Breakfast was the highlight of our stay. Although, the room was really outdated with old rug all over the floor and walls with desperate need of painting. Especially in the bathroom you couldn’t tell if the space was clean due to the flaky surface. Also WiFi didn’t reach our room. This place could be amazing with some minor investment. We would be happy to come back if a better maintain room would be offered to us. "

"Breakfast was lovely! Buffet and à la carte. The room (king) was huge- really lovely. Fluffy pillows and duvet but bed not the comfiest I’ve slept on! Unfortunately our room was not ready at check in - 4pm - and we didn’t get in until 5.30 which wasn’t ideal. The swimming pool is nice but noisy! Not the chilled vibe I was hoping for!"
