About this house rental

Balmule House has roots and features that stretch back over 500 years yet has a dramatically transformed interior, designed and crafted with every modern convenience. Set amidst 30 acres of grounds just north of Dunfermline, the ancient Capital of Scotland, Balmule House provides the highest standards of luxury accommodation in opulent surroundings. With several stunning reception rooms, beautiful formal gardens and picturesque views in all directions, we have the perfect venue for your getaway or special occasion.
Rarely will you ever find a building with such a rich heritage. Nor will you often see a home with such quality and comfort built into every last detail. To find both in one home is simply unheard of. So while the solid stone walls of this Fife tower house hold the history of every past resident, this is no museum piece. This is a living, breathing home for you to enjoy.

Over the years and from one generation to the next, every owner has lent their own personality and personal touches to the character of the building, writing their own chapter in the story of Balmule. Once, Balmule stood to protect its owners against 15th century hostility. As centuries passed by, new owners gave the house new form and function – each adding their own chapter to it's history.

We’ve just come home from our annual family bash at Balmule House and, as always, it was the perfect venue. Three generations of the family all under one roof in the most welcoming, well appointed accommodation. The bedrooms are well thought out with the flexibility of having most of them set up as twins to accommodate the children. We were lucky with the weather and the hot tub was very popular! If you are thinking about a stay at Balmule - go for it! You won’t be disappointed!

The house, gardens, greenhouse and walking areas make for a great retreat and have allowed us to host some special events on the grounds. The layout of the rooms, proximity to EDI and the local accommodations make it perfect for our annual trips.

This property is breathtaking, inside and outside surroundings. We had 16 family members staying together over the weekend and fully enjoyed the sitting rooms with fireplaces, the large dining hall with all the candles, everyone was comfortable and impressed with their rooms (robes and coffee makers a bonus) and the grounds outside with the highland cows, horses, cat Buster, and peacock! We had everything we needed and felt very spoiled the whole weekend. We will definitely return.

Balmule is one of the most beautiful places to stay! This place just topped everyone’s expectations and was a surprise to a few guests in our party. Franc was an amazing host & nothing was too much bother. We have booked to come back again in a few months time and we cannot wait for it. We had the best few days with family and friends for pre wedding celebrations!

I booked this as a hen do location and all the team at Blamule were so accommodating, nothing was too much and they even helped reach out to our transport company when we were having issues with them regarding the roads. Its remote enough that you are not bothering anyone but only a ten minute taxi ride to restaurants and bars. Everyone who attended had a great time, I would highly recommend to anyone!
