Set in 400 acres of stunning parkland on the popular Balbirnie Estate, the apartment is in central Fife between Edinburgh and St Andrews.

In the mid-1970s, the building was converted to a craft centre with individual workshops and apartments. The estate has a rich history and was owned by the Balfour family until 1969, and during the 18th and 19th centuries, the estate landscape was designed by Robert Robinson and Thomas White, who created one of the most extensive and significant collections of rhododendrons in the east of Scotland. Guests can see a magnificent display of around 200 varieties from India, China and the Himalayan provinces. From the apartment, guests can explore the parklands with bridle paths and woodland walks, the idea; place to enjoy a picnic and a good place to spot wildlife.
