Facts at A Glance

Fenton Tower is a magnificent, fortified 16th Century tower located just 20 miles east of Edinburgh between Gullane and North Berwick, which has been meticulously restored to provide luxury accommodation for up to 12 people. Why not be "King of your own Castle?". Fenton Tower is a 5 Star exclusive use venue that combines state-of-the-art facilities with the informality of a private home. With its dedicated staff it offers outstanding service and cuisine in a secluded and secure environment.

Fenton Tower is set in a beautiful restful and rural location, but it is still only 20 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. You can treat the tower's 20 acres of private land as your own throughout your stay. Daydream by the secluded laich (a small Scottish lake), or just gaze out across the miles of surrounding farmland that ripples with ripening barley in the summer.

A visit to Fenton Tower, whether it is for one night, or one month, will never be forgotten. Simple luxury and comfortable surroundings will make your stay so wonderful you simply won't want to leave. The accommodation is spread over five elegant floors, all inter-linked with two spiral staircases. The first staircase leads you to the third floor, whereas the second takes you to the very top of the tower and out onto the battlements, where you can take in the breath-taking views of the East Lothian countryside and the stunning Lammermuir Hills beyond.

Ground Floor

On the ground floor sits the beautiful vaulted Dining Room, complete with walnut dining table. Lit by candle-light for evening dinners, this truly atmospheric room will do justice to ANY dinner party. The kitchen is just off the dining room and is there at guests' disposal, should they wish to use it. To the west of the main tower is a separate entrance where guests can store golfing equipment, as well as walking shoes and out-door clothing. A gun table can also be set up here.

First Floor

A massive roaring log fire, a cosy library and complete tranquility mark Fenton Tower out as a truly exclusive castle experience. In the Great Hall, you will find a stylish living room. Here you can relax on comfortable sofas and enjoy the beautiful furniture in a relaxed atmosphere under a double-height, beamed ceiling. Next door is the Library, with its own self-service bar, complete with complimentary decanters of Gin and Whisky. Here you can choose a book from the tower's extensive selection, or simply sit down to watch a DVD, or listen to music, perhaps with a glass of Fenton's own Malt Whiskey. This intimate room is perfect for enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the early afternoon sunshine.

Between the first and second floors is The Study, complete with computer with internet access, and conference call facilities. The Study can also be used as a single bedroom if required, and has beautiful views down to the laich.
