Looking for the perfect place to stay in Scotland can often be hard. There are so many options from idyllic Bed and Breakfasts and exciting glamping pods to luxury hotels and cosy country inns.
But what if you fancy living out your fantasy of feeling like the Scottish kings and queens of the past, and staying in one of the country's incredible grand castles? Well, we might have just the option for you.
Lying just over 40 minutes drive from Edinburgh, close to the picturesque seaside town of North Berwick, you'll find the beautiful cream-walled Fenton Tower rising up from the dramatic coastline. Though the building itself dates back to the 16th century, the location for this majestic stronghold stretches back to the 11th century when it was chosen for its strategic views of the surrounding southern shoreline of the Firth of Forth.
In its lifetime, it's welcomed many distinguished guests including King James VI of Scotland (son of Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley).
The beautiful tower house has been wonderfully restored by the current owners, who have turned it into a first class holiday accommodation with rooms for up to 13 guests in the main tower.
They also have an additional modern holiday lodge which has room for 4 additional guests too.
Perfect for exclusive use, the castle comes with seven individually styled bedrooms, a great hall and library to relax in, and a grand dining room to share and enjoy memorable meals with friends and family.
Posting on the Vrbo website, the hosts wrote: "A visit to Fenton Tower, whether for one night, or one month, will never be forgotten. A warm Scottish welcome, simple luxury and comfortable surroundings await you, with our small, dedicated team there to guide, advise and facilitate
