Beautiful castle in a quiet neighborhood! The radiator worked great and so did the renovated bathroom/shower. The owner David is super friendly and a joy to chat with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Exceptional setting in a castle. Very spacious and comfortable. Be sure to follow check in instructions as well as specific directions. It's a well hidden spot but well worth it.

Review From Kwame Acquah

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.

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.
Mary Ann, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice position and quirky

Finding it is a bit difficult, but once you do the welcome from David is very pleasant. The room however is a bit tired and in the basement. Hot water was a challenge, as was getting the heaters working. But given the shortcomings it was a pleasant place to stay

We had a great stay here in August. The grounds were beautiful and tranquil and it felt like a real country escape. Our room was next to the garden which looked out on to the river and there is a wooded area by the castle to go walking. The owner and his family were really friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to get me some special food to cater to a food allergy which was much appreciated. Our room had a private kitchen area where the breakfast was left which was handy for preparing food we'd brought as there aren't really any restaurants or shops within walking distance. The only issue we faced was getting back to St Andrews town (about 5 miles away)- the x59 bus comes every hour along the main road but (after a 45 minute delay) the first one passed us as it was full and the next bus was another hour's wait and was 30 mins late so we probably wouldn't rely on the bus next time and would get a taxi (which costs about £11).
Jane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely stay but missing a couple of key things.

Lovely stay at the castle. I would say that the decor needs a refresh but that’s just my opinion. It looks dated but may be playing on the castle ‘theme’. The lady that owns the place is lovely and really helpful. However the 7pm latest check in isn’t helpful when working late before arriving. However she was available to let me in when I arrived at after 8pm. One thing that would be helpful is some signage directing to the house. I managed to get lost in the woods which was slightly creepy. Not one sign and Apple Maps didn’t direct to an obvious entrance. Pretty sure this place is haunted too. Breakfast was lovely and set out in the rooms attached Kitchen like a studio. The bed was comfy but two singles pulled together rather than a double/ king as expected. TV and Wifi were available.

We loved staying here. Gyp is the sweetest dog, bring her a ball! She loves belly rubs. She made the trip extra special. But also, the castle and the grounds are beautiful. David was a lovely host.

10/10 Exceptional

Peaceful, clean and comfortable

Beautiful castle in the middle of a forest about 10 minute drive from the center of St Andrews (you will need a car or taxi if you stay here). Had a mini apartment that was enormous and spotless with huge sitting and bedroom with very comfortable bed. Manager/owner was very proactive/responsive, but be aware that I didn’t see anyone the entire weekend. Kitchen was stocked with many breakfast things and real coffee. Will absolutely be staying here again.

Unique and memorable stay

Stravithie castle is an opportunity to experience something quite unique and special. The welcome included a brief tour of David’s home and interesting information about the previous owners. This was in addition to being shown our own accommodation which was spacious and comfortable. David’s dog was a most welcoming host too! I was most appreciative of the effort that David had gone to in catering for my gluten intolerance. A place that we would certainly love to return to if we are visiting the area in the future.

Stay in a beautiful castle

What an amazing and quirky place. My son and I loved this castle. David the owner gave us some history and showed us around. It’s just beautiful. We felt so welcome.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you want a unique hotel experience this is a fantastic real ancient interesting property in a very quiet rural location. We had a spacious apartment, large bedroom with king size bed, large sitting room with period furniture to match the setting - with mod cons flat screen TV and wi-fi - also small kitchen with all the requirements for a continental breakfast including chilled items in a fridge and bathroom with shower. The property is surrounded by large garden areas and woodland with a stream running through it. The hosts David and Renatta were very pleasant and helpful, taking our luggage to our room and giving us the required info for our apartment and a brief history of the castle. The castle is a short drive from St Andrews, as the castle is not signposted the host David will send you detailed directions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stravithie Castle and would highly recommend the experience.

Stravithie Castle is like a wonderful step-back in time. The grounds are beautiful and it's a very peaceful, quiet place to stay. The proprietor, David, was very attentive and helpful and made us feel welcome. I would absolutely visit again if I return to Scotland and I would highly recommend a stay here to anyone!
