Fernie Castle is in a superb location for anyone visiting Scotland. This 450 year old castle can offer all the character of the past with comforts today's visitor expects from a hotel with such high recommendations and awards. Situated in 17 acres of woodlands with it's own loch, there is ample parking space and places to stroll, or just relax.
The aura of the castle is first glimpsed through the wooded drive as one approaches. Once inside, you will be greeted with a cheery open fire and a warm welcome. The Keep Bar, which dates back to 1530, and The Wallace Lounge are each directly off the reception hall.
Fernie Castle is easily accessible with good road links to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Glenrothes and Dundee airports and all national motorways. From Cupar and Ladybank railway stations there are direct links to London. It is also possible to arrive by helicopter and hire the castle's own chauffeur driven gold Rolls Royce.
Fife is the home of golf. Within a 45 mile radius of Fernie Castle, there are 59 golf courses, from small and local, to St. Andrews, only 13 miles away.
The castle has 20 rooms, all en-suite. Prices start from £85 a night for 2. The castle is great for corporate events and weddings.
The Treehouse Suite is perched in six lofty sycamores. The first glimpse of the house is through pines, rowans and elderberries, the sun glinting on copper roof tiles. It appears to grow out of the trees with the sycamores bursting right through the floor and up out of the roof.
Entry is via a flight of stairs to a fairy light-festooned balcony where double doors with striking stained glass lead you into the bedroom.
The bedroom has a huge elm kingsized bed and other specially designed furniture all hand made with total comfort in mind including electricity, plumbing, heating, an alarm, telephone, flat screen TV, DVD, CD player and coffee maker, plus a fridge full of champagne, chocolates and other goodies.
Climbing up what appears to be the inside of a hollow tree, one emerges into an octagonal bathroom with walls painted twilight blue and a frieze of fairies who flit among trees overhanging pools of water. The ceiling is awash with stars and a pale moon shines onto grazing unicorns, in the centre sits a huge slipper bath under a chandelier of leaves and flowers.
There are three balconies all with amazing views of the surrounding countryside and one even has a swing!
For a magical night in the Treehouse Suite your breakfast, dinner and many extra goodies included prices start at £445 a night. Castle stays from £160 to £230 a night. Please click the Website link above to get more information, prices and to make contact.
