Balbirnie House  

Set in the Fife countryside in the village of Markinch, this Georgian country house sits on a 416‑acre estate roughly halfway between St Andrews and Edinburgh. Close to Glenrothes and within easy reach of attractions like the Royal Yacht Britannia and Falkland Palace, it’s a family-friendly, pet-friendly base for exploring eastern Scotland.

Take in the gardens and estate views, browse the library or enjoy a massage in the wellness room. The hotel offers a lobby fireplace, picnic area, babysitting (surcharge), wedding services, concierge, laundry/dry cleaning and paid onsite parking.
