About this apartment rental

Kinghorn Town Hall is a unique self-catering apartment located in Kinghorn, The Kingdom of Fife. The apartment has a beautiful spacious open plan living/dining area with comfortable seating, Smart TV, DVD player, selection of books, DVDs and board games. Superfast broadband has been installed in 2020, allowing for faster more reliable Wi-Fi. There are three bedrooms in the property, these are located on the second floor. A twin room; with two single beds, King-sized double bedroom and a King-sized double bedroom with an ensuite. Within the ensuite there is a shower, sink and toilet. The main bathroom is also located on the same floor which has a sink, toilet and shower over a bath.

The dining table seats 6 people, although there are a couple of extra seats if guests visit. Just off the dining area, there is a separate fully equipped kitchen. This is a comfortable size if you are cooking or baking, and have all the equipment you should require.

The apartment is located on the first and second floor of the property. To access the apartment there are several stairs to reach the ground floor. The ground floor is previously the old jail, which is now one of the offices for Fife Historic Buildings Trust, although mainly unused, our team sometimes uses the meeting room also on the ground floor. There is a separate locked door to access the apartment within the ground floor hallway., so the apartment is completely exclusive use. Within the stairwell there is a singular toilet and sink. Up two flights of stairs there is the entrance into the living/dining room. If you continue up the stairs to the second floor, you will find the three bedrooms and family bathroom. The washing machine and tumble dryer are also on the second floor.

From the second floor hallway to the kitchen, there is also a hidden spiral staircase that can be used. The apartment has been sympathetically restored, retaining many period features. The rooms are furnished in keeping with the history of the building, while providing all the modern amenities you would expect.

The apartment is fantastic for families and friends to gather and relax, enjoying time together in the large main room or taking in some of the beautiful Fife Coast. Guests can access a small fully enclosed private garden, the access is located on North Overgate at the side of the property. There is a table and chairs in the garden.

This historic property has been restored in keeping with the history, it is a fascinating apartment to stay in. Plenty of room, however still remaining cosy and intimate. There is Gas Central Heating throughout the property, which heats the apartment well. Kinghorn Town Hall is positioned well for access around Fife as well as close to Edinburgh, without needing to be in the centre of the city.

Built in the Tudor Gothic style, this impressive castellated stone structure enjoys glimpses out across the Firth of Forth. The Town Hall was constructed in 1826, replacing an earlier medieval building which was hit and seriously damaged by lightning. Part of the original building is thought to date back to the 12th century. Latterly it was used to provide the debating chamber, offices and prison cells for the Burgh Council. The new building was designed by the architect Thomas Hamilton (1784-1858) and was used for Council functions for almost 150 years but fell into disrepair in the 1980s. It was restored in 2009.

This is a unique property, that makes you feel as if you are staying in a mini castle. Don’t worry, the comforts of modern life are there too.

We stayed at this really interesting property, it’s quite grand and quirky but still has a cosy feel, handy shop and beautiful beach nearby and great for sightseeing
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2024
A very well appointed property and the location fit our needs. We took in the Chip shop down the road and didn’t think it was as great as people had raved. But The Ship had great food and portions, as well very reasonable prices. The location of the Co-op for groceries was convenient. Pamphlets were also found to be helpful. Recommendation is to include instructions on operation of the oven, we got it to work but it would beep at us quite often. Thanks again.

i dont like leaving bad feedback for anyone this is an honest opinion on arrival cutlery was not at all clean cups had black dust inside , apart from this the apartment was very clean indeed, the master bed was very uncomfortable but to be honest i still slept well, the lounge gorgeous and comfy, two single beds very comfy, small double not so comfy, this next moan was my own fault and my personal findings . the location was very disappointing like i said for me and i should have checked the surrounding area apart from the beach there is nothing to do in the immediate area , a first trip to Edinburgh was soured by my daughters bag with driving license ,credit card student card , she had just bought a £100 yearly bus pass, but most saddening is the course notes that were inside. Now the really good news , the chippy almost facing , the fish is lovely . hope this review helps and like i said this is only my view, sorry if i have upset anyone.
