Kilconquhar Castle Estate is set in around 120 acres of countryside beside the village of Kilconquhar. Weddings use the castle’s wood-panelled Lindsay Room and the grounds, with a marquee for larger receptions of up to around 140 guests.
The castle has a small number of bedrooms, usually kept for the couple and close family. Most guests stay nearby, and Elie and Earlsferry are the obvious choice: a long sandy beach, a harbour, a golf links and a good choice of places to eat, all a few minutes from the estate.

A Family Business, A Local Heart
East Fife Holiday Homes is run by Jordan and Gemma, a local, family-run team who look after holiday homes up and down the Fife coast. We’re not a faceless agency: we live here, and we care about the villages our guests come to enjoy.
When East Fife Holiday Homes joined the Short Stay family in 2025, we kept what guests loved about it: the Elie office, hands-on local service and a carefully chosen collection of homes across the East Neuk.
Our ethos is simple: people first. Whether it’s a harbour cottage for two in Pittenweem or a big family house by the beach in Elie, every stay gets the same care.
“We’re proud to welcome guests to the East Neuk and share the best of this stretch of coast.” — Jordan & Gemma
