About this house rental
A stunning Georgian Country House built in 1806, this former manse, and until her death, home to Frances Shand Kydd, mother of Diana, Princess of Wales. It is a magnificent Georgian building, beautifully modernised while retaining old-world charm. 6 comfortable bedrooms with 5 bathrooms and a downstairs loo, there is space for 12 adults, and 2 children. With a drawing room with open fire and dual aspect, a tv room with 50" tv and freeview and dvds, a spacious dining/kitchen with AGA and electric hob, a bright and airy dining conservatory and a formal dining room to seat 14, there is ample space for families. Centrally heated, open-fire, and AGA, together with electric blankets on all beds ensure a warm stay, whatever the weather. The house sits in an acre of walled garden, and surrounded by hundreds of acres of grazing land. There is a terrace with BBQ, a garden with trampoline and swings, and we have a local Hot Tub hirer who will supply a hot tub for the duration of your stay. Please let me know your requirements. We have available a 6m x 12m marqee for hire and can provide lighting and tables and chairs for your party. The marquee can seat up to 80 persons for dining. Within 30 minutes of over 50 golf-courses, including Gleneagles and St Andrews, we are well-located for golfers. Edinburgh, Perth, St Andrews and Dundee are all within 40 minutes, and trains run to Markinch, 10 minutes away.

Not enough oven space for the amount of people staying. Owner came in to the house on several occasions without notice which unnerved some of the guests.

I booked the house for a family party. The house is definitely a party house. We had the most fabulous time. There was 11 staying and on party day there was 19. Plenty of room for us all. The garden is big and well kept and some fun was had outside too. Duncan was a very personable host and was on hand to help. A couple of niggles were the Wi-Fi which we could not get to work. Duncan did try to sort it but couldn’t. The other is the the bin situation. For such a large party there was a lot of recycling- the bins were full. We brought a few black bags home with us. All in all I would highly recommend the house. We did walk into Falkland, very quaint and busy with tourists - as we were. Thank you Duncan.

Wonderful house wirh history and royal connections that appealed to us as a family. Great location as a base and one of the prettiest villages we've visited and very friendly, helpful locals. Great as a base for exploring Fife with all amenities necessary.Everything you need in the house and extremely well maintained. Duncan made us feel very welcome then left us to it, but we knew hed be on hand if we needed it.Make the most of the beautiful surroundings, excellent sunsets. Try the East Lomond walk (not for the fainthearted), but so worth the effort if you make it to the peak....wow!!Thank you to Duncan for a wonderful stay.
