This is a huge hotel with every room looking out over the Firth of Forth toward Edinburgh. It felt like a seaside resort. There were a lot of families of all ages yet it was quiet and didn’t seem busy. Our deluxe room had a small living room with sofa, desk and chairs, and balcony. Our balcony was tiny with only one chair because we were on the outermost edge but we were happy with the room location because it was quiet. A tea kettle, instant coffee, teas, and biscuits were provided. The bedroom was in a loft up a set of stairs. The loft also had floor to ceiling views but no balcony. The view was amazing.
The hotel amenities included a pool, hot tub, sauna, snooker tables, arcade and game room. Warning, the pool’s last entry is 8 pm. We didn’t realize this and came a little late but since we were just using the sauna, the attendant let us in for the final half hour. In addition to these areas, there was also a common area with comfy chairs where you could enjoy the view and there were two terraces.
The Horizons restaurant is huge. I’m not sure why we needed a reservation. There’s lots of tables by the windows and there is a huge bar lounge area that served food also. The bar had an excellent selection of Scottish gins and whiskies. The dinner was good—I had the special which was a chicken pie and it was good. Breakfast included a cold service buffet and Scottish breakfast off the menu.
The staff throughout the hotel, bar and restaurant all very helpful and friendly.

Stephen and Yvonne (the owners of this guesthouse) were ABSOLUTELY the best hosts we've ever experienced in all of our travels both in the United States and internationally! The room we stayed in was immaculate, and the breakfast Yvonne served both mornings we stayed there was incredibly delicious. They were EXTREMELY helpful in giving us guidance about what to see in the area and throughout Scotland. They truly treated us like we were family, and we will never forget their hospitality and kindness towards us. We would HIGHLY recommend Cardinals Folly to anyone looking for an exceptional guesthouse in Kinghorn, Fife!!
A friendly, family-run hotel located in one of Fife's picturesque coastal villages, specializing in fresh fare, using local Scottish produce where possible.

We so enjoyed our stay, that we asked the lovely girl at reception, if we could stay for another night. Unfortunately there was a pool competition, which meant that the whole hotel was already booked! We seriously would have stayed for another two nights if it had been available. When we both ordered steaks one night, mine, rare/ blue, and my partner's, rare, I truly was not hopeful, most chefs do not cook steaks that much to order, unless you are in a five star hotel. However, we were absolutely delighted, we asked to speak with the chef! He was charming, what a wonderful stay, we so wish that we could have booked another two nights! Sorry to repeat my words, but an amazing place! Kind Regards Christina

Kinghorn has a few shops that are fine for basics.
Kinghorn has a few shops that are fine for basics. Also a beach that looks to be lovely in summer. Easy to get a train to Edinburgh, bus to Kirkcaldy or Burntisland, which also has a beach, indoor swimming pool, play facilities on The Links, and a summer fair

We were only there for one night on our trip north. But it looked like a great base for excursions to St. Andrews or the surrounding area. We had a walk to the harbour, which was nice and nipped into Burntisland. Kinghorn itself does not offer too much attraction, but if you travel by car it is a nice base for trips.

It is a very quiet place in October. It was windy chilly and cloudy. But the sun showed up almost everyday. There is both bus and train for one to explore the area. I did not face any problem to book a taxi by an app. There is a sea beach and many other sea beaches to explore. One can just come here for a rest or just can go on walking along the fife trail

The beach between Kinghorn & Burnisland looked great although we didn't use it.

Hotel was nice but bar stopped serving alcohol at 6.30pm. Had to go to function enertainment suite for another drink but did not plan to go there. Did not know dinner had to be booked so this ruined our one night stay as towns a good walk away and weather was too bad to walk. Shop very poor
