Set amongst rolling countryside and surrounded by many of the worlds’ most famous golf courses (Muirfield Gullane & North Berwick) Fenton Tower is the perfect base for a magnificent golfing experience.The location of the Tower makes it ideal for all kinds of country sporting and recreational activities. Arrangements for parties of up to eight guns for Grouse Partridge and Pheasant shooting as well as fly fishing on the rivers Tweed and Tyne can be arranged.

The ridiculously nice weather helped but everyone loved the castle and its setting - simply majestic. Sitting around the fire in the evening drinking and chatting was wonderful. Stunning grounds supremely well thought out comfortable rooms. Excellent showers and delicious plentiful breakfasts all added to a wonderfully memorable weekend. | Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 | Response from VrboOwner on 5 Aug 2021 | Ian Thank you for your very kind words.

| 10/10 | Excellent | Tracey C. Ashford CT. USA | 19 Jul 2019 | Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracy | None | Celebrations! | Myself along with my family and friends just returned from an absolute amazing stay at Fenton Tower! I chose Fenton Tower for it's location and as a perfect venue to celebrate Our 25th Wedding Anniversary my Husband's 50th Birthday and both our Daughters graduations one from College and the other from High School. 2019 was a year for celebrations and no doubt we chose the perfect venue for our first visit to Scotland. The Tower is magnificent in every way. Each room is unique and beautifully decorated. Every space although grand will make you feel warm and comfortable! I personally loved the furnishings! Alan the manager and his Team were gracious and hospitable. They made us all feel welcome and we felt like Royalty during our stay. Breakfast every morning prepared by Tony was amazing and delicious no detail was left out. There was such a wide variety of goodies to please everyone including my daughter who has several dietary restrictions was overjoyed with the foods they provided for her. After returning from breakfast you would notice that the "Fluff Fairies" as I called them would have fluffed every cushion as if no one had ever sat on a sofa or chair! The fireplace would also be cleaned and remade to spark the following evening. Our Bedrooms were comfortable with beds and bathrooms refreshed as well. I cannot say enough about Alan and the Staff! They are all so special and really made us feel comfortable. Alan was most helpful with recommendations of area attractions and quick to arrange reservations and car service for us if needed. We appreciated his knowledge and wit. He was always quick to answer our questions. Our Celebration dinner was Top Notch! Alan had helped me prior to our arrival with recommendations for what wines we might enjoy. I must say that they were absolutely perfect and I so wish I could find these in the States! Karen had made a spectacular flower arrangement for the center of our table. Not knowing she chose the same flowers and color palate that we had on our wedding day this made the evening even more memorable! It's only been a few days since our departure and I'm already missing Fenton Tower and the People who made us feel most welcome! We all decided on our way to the airport that we will definitely return someday! | Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2019 | Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2020 | Tracey and her wonderful family were a pleasure to have to stay. I am so glad that you enjoyed your time with us and we were very sorry to see you go. I hope that we meet again in the future . . .and when I venture to the USA I will certainly let you know. With fondest regards and best wishes. Alan and the Fenton Tower team. |
