Lovely stay at Kilconquhar. Very pet friendly with super open areas to exercise your dogs. Lovely staff, with particular praise to the bistro staff who were all an absolute delight. Excellent breakfasts and lovely meals in the evening. Sorry we couldn't have stayed longer. Next time.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

We had a room in the castle, which was quite a surprise. Appreciated that and the estate surroundings that were so peaceful. The onsite restaurant had a sufficient menu and breakfast, off the menu, was delicious.

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.

Lovely stay
Pros:

Lovely stay at kilconquhar castle estate, great location for exploring the east neuk of fife with great facilities such as tennis, swimming, badminton etc. Pitty sauna wasn't in separate changing rooms but didnt stop us using it. All staff friendly and pleasant to deal with. Good banter with the bar & kitchen staff. Great Tuesday steak night offer & great choice for breakfast! Would recommend.

Pros:

The property has a stunning back drop and lovely driving up the long sweeping drive.
Rooms were nice, especially my club room.
The swimming pool and sauna was a nice addition and breakfast good which was included. You could choose from the menu.
The server at breakfast was a lovely, funny chap.

Only downside really was the bistro. We just had soup as it finished serving at 8pm and we didn't arrive til 6:30pm and wanted to have a swim. Food was nice.
It would have been nice to have a lounge area as a bar as it a bit sterile in the bistro and you don't really want to be sat at a dining table just for drinks. Surely you could have a small lounge area served by the bistro bar in such a large place.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

We stayed one evening before walking the Fife Coastal Path from Elie to Pittenweem. Room was quite comfortable, excellent shower, lovely dinner in their bistro. They have many more amenities than we could use in our one night — lovely swimming pool. Would definitely return.

Pros:

We really did enjoy our stay at Kilconquhar Castle Estate.

The estate is lovely and there is much to recommend the surrounding scenery and well maintained gardens.

However, the decor is tired, with flaking paint on the walls of our room and the woodwork overall on the doors and in the corridor badly needs freshening up.

The wardrobe runners were old, rusty and dirty.

The bathroom had some mould forming on parts of the shower, however, overall it was quite clean.

The shower itself looked great but was highly disappointing due to the lack of power. Barely more than a trickle and it took a long time to remove the shampoo and conditioner from my hair.

I found the bed very comfortable and had a great sleep.

It was very dog friendly and my cocker spaniel was delighted with his stay and his morning walk through the estate.

The breakfasts were delicious, well cooked and prepared.

Although we did not use them, there plenty of amenities to keep adults and children alike, entertained.

I would heartily recommend this destination, whether or not, you are a pet parent.
