    • Garden and mansion built to the designs of Sir Robert Lorimer
    • Fine collection including works by Raeburn, Ramsay, Weissweiler and Fantin-Latour
    • Woodland, parkland, farmland and open heath, with extensive views

    Nestling on a hillside in the Fife countryside, this early 20th-century family home is a gem. The house was remodelled in 1906 by the Scottish architect Sir Robert Lorimer around Mr F B Sharp's collection of French and Chippendale-style furniture, porcelain and paintings. A treat for collectors and antique lovers. Enjoy the wider estate and fresh air during your visit to Hill of Tarvit by hiring a picnic hamper from the tearoom. Choose what you would like in your hamper from the tearoom menu and pick up our new illustrated estate map and away you go. With 40 acres of garden and open estate, choosing a suitable location to enjoy your picnic should not be too difficult! The hire of the hamper costs £5 and is refundable when the hamper is returned to the tearoom.

    1 to 31 May, Thur-Mon 1-5;
    1 June to 31 Aug, daily 1-5;
    1 Sep to 31 Oct, Thur-Mon 1-5

    Garden and Grounds: open all year, daily, closing at dusk.

    Please note that due to a wedding on Friday 19 September the house will be closed but the tearoom, shop and gardens will remain open.

    Tearoom and shop: 12-5, same dates as house but may open from 21 Mar during work to house.

    Please call in advance to check.
