Hotels in Fife
Some refer to 'The kingdom of Fife' as the home of golf, and with good reason - it has more than 40 golf courses from the famous St Andrews to seaside links and more. However, Fife has lots of other wonderful things about it, that keep visitors returning time and again.
Ship Inn, Elie
Featured Hotels
The Ship Inn
Elie, Fife
The catch of the day could be Shetland hake in the restaurant or nifty fielding on the sands at this pub-with-rooms overlooking the Firth of Forth, with its own beach cricket team.
The Shoregate
Anstruther, Fife
A formerly run-down pub at the top of the hill overlooking the harbour, this refurbished dining pub with stylish, highly characterful and generously equipped bedrooms, retains the fun and energy of a popular local, while serving seriously impressive, locally sourced food.
The Peat Inn
Cupar, Fife
A dream destination for golfing gourmets, just a 12-minute drive from St Andrews, Geoffrey and Katherine Smeddle's restaurant with rooms holds a Michelin star for Geoffrey's creative menus of ingredients sourced locally from land and sea.
Rufflets
St Andrews, Fife
Golf is just one of the attractions at this country-house hotel, an Edwardian mansion in landscaped gardens a short coastal walk from St Andrew's, with a wide choice of rooms, suites and shepherds' huts, innovative cooking of local and kitchen-garden produce in the light and airy restaurant, and new-laid eggs for breakfast.
Some refer to 'The kingdom of Fife' as the home of golf, and with good reason - it has more than 40 golf courses from the famous St Andrews to seaside links and more. However, Fife has lots of other wonderful things about it, that keep visitors returning time and again. The ancestral home of Scottish monarchs, Fife has so much history to explore - it really is the stuff of legends. Learn about Dunfermline, a former capital of Scotland, and the 'Lang Toun' of Kirkcaldy, Fife's largest settlement. The dramatic beaches have inspired films such as Chariots of Fire, fishing is a favourite pastime, sites include Forth Road and Rail Bridges, and of course it's home to St Andrews University too. Wildlife is also a magical part of a trip to this region. Don't miss a hike along the Fife Coastal Path up to Crail, look out for grey seals, basking sharks and dolphins, and visit the islands of Inchcolm and Inchkeith if you have time. All of this is accompanied by superb hospitality. Warm welcomes are the order of the day at the likes of the luxurious Rufflets, The Peat Inn (with its Michelin Star), and the beachside Ship Inn at Elie - a pub with rooms that has its own cricket team that play on the sand!
