Staff were all so friendly, food was fabulous, breakfast included in our room rate was fab and offered until 11 which suited. We had dinner on two nights out of three as we enjoyed it so much. Very dog friendly in all areas. Room was a little tired but spotless and the WiFi wasn’t great but won’t stop us returning!

we absolutely loved Kilconquhar Estates! The only negative we found was the poor water pressure. Not a big deal. Everyone on the staff was very friendly, helpful, courteous, and would go out of the way to make our stay fabulous. The estate food was top notch. The villa was more than perfect, we felt like royalty! The villa was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family. Thank you for the perfect stay in Scotland. I hope we can come back some day

The area and the staff were really nice. We got a standard room and it felt a bit poor and cheap looking, but it is fair enough as we paid a cheap price to stay. However, they provide everything that is needed in the room and the set of towels and robes are a plus! I'd recommend to stay here.

Gate House

I booked this late break, as my husband is recovering from a heart attack over Xmas and new year. It looked and read as wonderful so I went ahead and booked. When we arrived we were told it was the Gate House we were in! Unfortunately this house was caught in a Time Warp! Definitely not worth the money I paid. Very tired and dated, furniture and furnishings faded, ripped and very badly in need of a complete refurbishment
