Well the name doesn’t do it justice ! What a superb two bedroom cottage / bothy? superbly hosted by John and Peta. This is the perfect place to stay in Falkland - we were just two but provided you don’t mind sharing the bathroom would be fine for four. The garden you are invited to use is delightful as are the owners, helpful and to hand, very amiable but never intrusive. The breakfast is just delicious - beautifully presented and enough to feast on all day. We had THE BEST time for four nights on first foray to Scotland for a very very long time, and couldn’t have picked a better base. And of course being on the doorstep of the palace gardens (house closed atm) was icing on the cake

Falkland Palace is must see if you're visiting Scotland. The palace has some of the best furniture, artwork, and guides of anyplace in Scotland. The guides made the palace come to life with their stories. Some of the furniture dated from the 1500s and was in immaculate condition. They also had several floor to ceiling portraits of Charles I, Charles II, and several other key figures in history that were truly stunning. My only complaint was they don't allow pictures in the castle so I couldn't take the experience home with me. A must see if you're visiting Scotland.

Set in the heart of Falkland conservation village, and surrounded by extensive gardens, this partly restored Renaissance palace is the perfect place to while away an afternoon. Certificate of Excellence 2014 Winner Falkland Palace Part of the Palace is in ruins but the original and reconstructed rooms are packed with 17th-century Flemish tapestries, elaborate painted ceilings and antique furnishings. The beautiful, tranquil grounds are worth a visit alone. They are home to the oldest Real or Royal tennis court in Britain, built for King James the V. The grounds also include ruins of the 12th century Castle of Falkland, extensive gardens designed by Percy Cane and an ancient Orchard with a wild flower meadow. Please note the Palace & Gardens open 1 March to 31 October beach year. The shop is open all year round.

This partially restored royal residence has great atmosphere and the guides in each room help to bring the past to life. There are extensive gardens including Britain's oldest tennis court. Although Falkirk is somewhat off the beaten path, a visit to this village and the Palace is highly recommended. The Palace has no parking, but we were able to find a nearby public parking lot. It is a member of National Trust of Scotland.

We visited Falkland due to its connection with Outlander and was blown away with the beauty of the village, a truly fascinating place. The ancient architecture is superb. The Fountain situated in the centre of the village is one of the many attractions to view

Went with my partner and oh my goodness that steak pie was the best I have had in a long time!! Honestly couldn’t fault it, service was amazing, atmosphere was very festive and cosy. Prices were reasonable and great for the quality of food and portion size. We always enjoy coming here for a meal! Eamonn and chef were very accommodating as we were so full after the starters and main and were able to take the rest of the main away with us and a couple of deserts which they packaged up to enjoy later in the day. Could not fault it, definitely the place to go.
