Dunfermline and Fife

Your gateway to West Fife in the Kingdom of Fife is the ancient capital of Scotland, Dunfermline. Use this section of our web site as your starting point to find out what this area has to offer.

The superbly accessible location of the hotel makes it an excellent gateway to a whole variety of leisure pursuits as well as being a superb country alternative to Edinburgh for both leisure breaks and holidays, memorable weddings, and corporate events. Only 40 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh and the very best of Edinburgh shopping and entertainment. A very short drive from the ferry terminal at Rosyth, and not so much further away is the fair city of Perth, and the home of golf at St Andrews. A day trip to nearby Dundee, City of Discovery, is highly recommended too, with outstanding visitor attractions including the new and very exciting Contemporary Arts Centre, the famous ships Discovery and Unicorn (both featuring superb visitor centres) and the Verdant Works.

Deep Sea World, Aberdour Castle and the award winning beaches of Aberdour are close by, with the Fife Coastal trail and the glorious characterful little fishing villages all within easy reach. The network of Fife Cycleways is close at hand.

Edinburgh has to be the main magnet, and a stay at Garvock House Hotel is a superb, great value for money, all year round alternative to the city itself for those discerning guests wishing to mix the relative calm of a classic Scottish county town with easy access to all Edinburgh’s main attractions.

And - thinking of going overseas whilst at Garvock House Hotel? We can now include Western Europe in our local area thanks to the nearby port of Rosyth in Fife which has daily Crossings to Zeebrugge, Belgium with a crossing time of 17 hours and 30 minutes.
