Abbotshill House Newburgh, Fife

Four Star Visit Scotland graded, self-catering accommodation is offered in the west wing of this impressive and traditional Scottish country house, dating back to 1843. Full of 'olde worlde' charm and grace, the house is in a tranquil, fringe of village location, and provides an ideal base from which to explore the kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, people and places which is so unique to Scotland.

The Kingdom of Fife is renowned for its picturesque villages and historic buildings. There is a heritage/wildlife centre, a National Park and several Distilleries to explore. From the house there is easy access to many holiday activities, such as golf, loch and river fishing, beautiful sandy beaches, coastal walks and bicycle trails. It is just a short drive to St. Andrews or other major tourist centres, such as Perth, Dundee and Edinburgh.

 

Magnificient views across the river Tay to the Carse of Gowrie, and the Sidlaw Hills beyond, can be enjoyed from the terrace, where tables, chairs, umbrella and gas barbecue make this an ideal and irresistable location for al fresco dining.
