There are seven Fingask Castle Cottages, ranging from Sir Stuart's House sleeping up to fourteen, to the romantic hideaway, with sauna and rowing boat, known as The Boathouse.
Fingask Cottages are set in over 100 acres of the historic gardens and woods of Fingask Castle, enjoying southerly views to the Firth of Tay and the hills of Fife beyond. The half mile long drive curves up through the wooded glen and crosses Fingask stream on a high arched stone bridge overlooking St Peter’s Well in the dell below. Fingask is truly a magical place!
You are welcome to roam the estate, there is a map provided in the cottage, but please respect the owners privacy and avoid the area immediately around the castle. The Pavilion is also to be avoided please if there is an event happening during your stay.
