10 Bedroom House in Dunfermline

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.

Summary: House was very well equipped for a large group and allowed to entertain extra guests easily. Bedrooms first class, water pressure good, public rooms first class.
Gordon Jul 13, 2025 05:23:32 AM
Summary: The house was great for our larger group of 17
Kim R. Jul 5, 2025 02:49:54 AM
Summary: We stayed here with our large family of 23, including lots of little ones, and it was beyond perfect. The house was spacious, beautifully maintained, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel instantly at home.The setting was breathtaking—rolling hills, fresh air, and Highland cows and sheep roaming nearby like something out of a storybook. The kids were in heaven, and the adults felt completely at peace.There was room for everyone, a well-stocked kitchen for big family meals, and so much space for the children to safely explore. The host went above and beyond—kind, responsive, and full of helpful local tips.Our family has traveled together for years, but this experience stands far above the rest. It was a rare moment where all generations—grandparents, parents, and children—felt equally catered to, equally at peace, and equally at home.We left with full hearts, hundreds of memories, and more than one tear in our eyes. If you are fortunate enough to find this haven available for your next family gathering, don’t hesitate. This is not just a stay—it’s a chapter in your family’s story.

Summary: We didn’t have to worry about anything, everyone was so accommodating and helpful. They kept us up to date throughout the whole stay and made it a truly unforgettable weekend. Everyone that works at Balmule went the extra mile for us! The most incredible team we have met!

Summary: Balmule House is absolutely fantastic. The home was meticulously renovated and the design themes throughout each room, etc. are exquisite. Mr. Balmule House attends to your needs personally and makes staying there very easy. I would suggest that you have a vehicle to drive or that you speak with him to arrange car service to various sites that you would like to see. Revisited Dunfermline Abbey, which was really a treat and just walking around. The property is fabulous, so many plants and beautiful animals to see.

Summary: We had such a brilliant time away at Balmule House for our friends Hen do. The house was gorgeous, the main bathroom was stunning and gardens were beautiful. We especially loved the garden room and had a lovely evening down there. We could have been abroad with how it felt. The lights were a great touch. Thanks to Franc for being so responsive - we would recommend this house to anyone!
Aisla Mar 5, 2025 02:20:54 AM
Summary: Everything! Spacious, luxurious, spotlessly clean, kitchen facilities superb with excellent provisions. Coffee machines with excellent coffee. Master bedroom is lovely and all other rooms are of high quality. Large luxurious bathrooms. Cannot rate this house highly enough. Even the outside grounds have beautiful gardens and views. Franc is so helpful and obliging and my daughter and all her friends raved about their stay
Louise Feb 26, 2025 06:47:19 AM
Summary: Balmule house is outstanding - all the rooms are beautiful, massive and grand, but still very comfortable and cosy. We had the best weekend as a group of 20 celebrating my brother's upcoming wedding. The setting is beautiful and the highland cows in the nearby field added to the beauty! The kitchen is incredibly well equipped, all the bedrooms extremely comfortable and the multiple living areas were perfect for socialising. The only negative was that we weren't staying longer!
Pauline Feb 12, 2025 03:50:23 AM
Summary: A warm welcome from Franc who helped us in with our luggage. Tour of the house and guidance how to operate all the appliances. We were a group of 20 ladies celebrating a special birthday. All really enjoyed their stay. Would certainly stay again.
Joshua Jan 23, 2025 08:15:38 PM
Summary: The lovely rooms. But mainly the kindness and support of the staff who helped make the wedding run smoothly and very relaxed.
