The South Lodge Gatehouse

The Jacobean Revival South Lodge stands proudly at the entrance to the estate, guarding its parklands with timeless elegance. Blending historic character with modern comfort, this unique retreat is perfect for one or two couples.

Inside, you’ll find two beautifully appointed king-size bedrooms, along with a stylish open-plan living and dining space ideal for relaxed meals or cosy evenings in. Outside, unwind beside the garden fire pit, or indulge in a long soak in one of the two bathtubs while taking in views of the historic Golden Gates—dramatically salvaged from a shipwreck on the orders of a rather irate former Earl.

Golf
Fife is renowned as the Home of Golf, with St Andrews offering the legendary Old Course alongside many other championship links. Closer to home, Dumbarnie Links—named World’s Best New Golf Course 2021—is a must-play, and located on the estate itself.
