Faside Estate

We had an amazing stay from start to finish. Ian gave us a tour if the castle along with a history. The rooms were cozy, the bed was very comfortable. The owners even gave us a ride to the tram when we were unable to find a taxi. Sue and Ian are a friendly helpful couple.

My wife and I stayed at Fa’side for a long weekend and throughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is in a tower which was the oldest part of the castle and is on two levels - we had exclusive use of the great hall and a large bedroom at the top of the tower. The great hall Is a good place to just relax and enjoy the ambiance. The bedroom is a large room with a generous bed and an en-suite bath. There is also a breakfast area in the bedroom. It includes a toaster and microwave. The breakfast area and fridge is generously stocked, so you can enjoy a continental breakfast of your choosing. The hosts - Ian and Sue - are extremely courteous and take care to ensure that you feel welcome. We both enjoyed our stay at Fa’side immensely - it’s the first time we’ve lived in a ‘real’ castle - and we would love to go back.

We had a fantastic stay in the Tower at Faside Castle. This is an incredibly interesting property with both a fascinating old and very recent history. The space for guests is huge. We saw a very large sitting room on the website and guessed this was general room for all guests, but it is actual a private room for the exclusive us of the Tower guests only (plus a very large ensuite bedroom, and very large double bed). We loved the access to the roof with panoramic views of the coast and Edinburgh and beyond and the continental breakfast in the room was great (plus usual tea and coffee making facilities, microwave etc). The owners Ian and Sue provided an very warm welcome and we had a fantastic chat about the history of the property, local places to visit etc, but are very careful to give the guests privacy. We only stayed one night, but I wish it had been longer!
