Who it suits

A smaller group that wants a quiet, family-owned country house a short drive from town. Kinness House (four en-suite bedrooms, sleeps eight) gives a group its own space.

  • Good for

    Guaranteed Old Course tee times, the gardens and the whisky bar.

  • Less good for

    Walking to the links, or a spa: there isn't one.

  • Our tip

    Ask reservations for a guaranteed Old Course tee time: Rufflets is an authorised provider and books the other Links courses too.
