You have travelled to the shores of Fife with an invite to a large secluded building that, even in the dark, stands out against the hills behind it. The lights from its many windows offer the false promise of warmth and safety as they pierce the darkness of the night. The only sounds you hear bring you no comfort; a lone dog howling at the moon, the wind wailing through the trees and the relentless sound of the waves crashing against the shore. This is a night for MURDER.

Group Stay

18 of us stayed at The Kingswood this month and hired the conservatory for a private murder mystery meal for a hen party.

The hotel itself is lovely, with nice size rooms and comfortable beds. There are lovely views over the Firth of Forth. The conservatory is very versatile and was perfect for our needs. There is a lounge just off the conservatory and we made ourselves comfortable there for most of the day and the end of the evening. Norrie the barman deserves a special mention for looking after us so well.

I knew from the numerous communications I had with the hotel before the event that we had chosen the right place. Nothing was too much trouble. The evening meal menu was changed to suit and drinks we requested were bought in.

This all made for us having a great time and we’ll definitely be back.

Murder Mystery Magic

We stayed overnight after a friend had her birthday party here and right from our arrival we were treated so well. Excellent reception and shown to our room which was lovely and bright and very clean. The only small downfall was the shower bit being very powerful but can imagine the water pressure in these old buildings is to blame. Down into a lovely bar area with lots of lovely seats and tables for drinks and then in to a very nice conservatory. Dinner was served and very hearty portions!

The murder mystery side of it was absolutely fabulous. We hadn’t ever done one before and didn’t know what to expect. The actors excelled themselves and were so sharp and funny. The evening flew by – nobody guessed the murderer – and we overheard other guests say they wish it wasn’t Saturday night as they would’ve stayed another night they enjoyed it so much. Breakfast was as you would expect with superb views over the beach and we left having found a new place we would stay again with pleasure.
