I HOUSE PARTIES
Freswick Castle is the perfect place for a holiday in grand style. The Castle has many open fires, an intimate kitchen-dining room for 15-20, a walled garden, and the wild gardens on the seaward side of the castle leading down to the beach with ideal locations for barbecues beside the Freswick Burn, as it tumbles into the rolling waves.
ACCOMMODATION I
The Castle can be rented as a whole site, including the guest cottage, for house parties of around 12-15 people. Currently, the Castle has a 2 bedroom luxury apartment, along with 5 other en-suite bedrooms. The guest cottage is a simple and cosy environment (containing an additional library of 6000 books), with three bedrooms,
all sharing one bathroom.
The maximum number who can stay on-site is in the region of 15 -18,
but the optimum is 10-12.
