Fernie Castle, Medieval tower house in Fife, Scotland
Fernie Castle is an L-shaped tower house rising three floors with substantial accommodation across multiple room types. The building contains guest suites, reception spaces, and a large ballroom arranged throughout the structure.
The tower house was constructed in 1353 and underwent several expansions during the 16th century. A round tower was added at one corner, altering the footprint of the original structure.
The castle operates as a hotel where visitors sleep within the walls of a Scottish fortification. You experience how medieval spaces have been adapted for modern use while keeping their character intact.
The grounds are laid out so different guest quarters connect throughout the property. The site is straightforward to navigate and offers distinct areas to explore.
A treehouse suite stands on the grounds where real tree trunks grow through the floor. This unusual accommodation blends the old structure of the castle with a modern nature-inspired design.
