What a treat to stay in a Scottish castle. It was located in a very convenient place for our visit. As we didn't have time to visit St Andrews the food and drink provided in the en suite kitchen for the breakfast were much appreciated. We enjoyed the short walk to Dunino church.

The room was adorable and the grounds were amazing. The greater dog was so sweet. Everything was clean and organized and we had a great time. Only confusing part was to ring the doorbell to check in. A modern doorbell was hard to see on a beautiful old building :)
