Two-night stays are also available starting from £139, which is 53 per cent lower than the usual cost of £298.
The hotel, which is situated in the charming Fife village of Markinch, offers a variety of amenities in its rooms. These include a "super comfy bed", an en-suite modern bathroom, a flatscreen TV, and Wi-Fi.
