What a stunning estate
What a stunning estate, set in the heart of Fife, this is. The rooms in the main building are stunningly restored using timber from surrounding woods. The business is open to the public who can enjoy walks, a coffee or a bite to eat. You can also hire the event rooms for weddings, meetings and social gatherings. The family who own and run the estate do so with passion and commitment which clearly shows. Highly recommend a visit.

Caroline and Andrew were amazing!
My daughter and her husband chose this as a venue for their wedding. Both the ceremony and reception were held here and t’s and exceptionally beautiful space and was perfect for the 75 people we had there. Caroline and Andrew were amazing and ensured that the little things weren’t missed and were on hand for any questions the day before when we set up and on the wedding day itself. The gardens and woodland are beautiful and the photos outside have made an already perfect day even more beautiful.

THE Dream Venue! The easiest booking for a very indecisive bride and groom!
Backhouse Rossie was an unexpected find that turned out to be our dream!! We wanted a combination of a barn style wedding but with picturesque gardens and the grounds of a country house and started to think that maybe this place didn’t exist; but Backhouse Rossie delivered this in abundance and topped it off with the kindest owners to guide us through everything too. Caroline and Andrew made everything so relaxed and easy. We were welcomed back multiple times to view the grounds with both our families and they shared so much information to help us in the planning process, ensuring we had everything for our day to go as planned. We struck gold and Backhouse will forever be a place we go to relax, find peace and reminisce. We can’t thank Caroline and Andrew enough for all the support and love they showed our family on the best day of our lives.

Beautiful day made seamless by Caroline & Andrew
Backhouse Rossie Estate truly was a stunning venue for our wedding. The gardens and grounds are immaculate no matter the time of year. They added an extra sense of magic to our special day. All of our guests commented on how glorious a venue it was! Caroline and Andrew were great people to work with. Their supplier suggestions were all incredible. They offered so much assistance in the run up to, and on the day, of our wedding. It would not have gone as smoothly without their hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Backhouse Rossie Estate for anyone looking to host their wedding in Fife. If we could, we would do it all again!

A venue that truly delivered for the wholesome country aesthetic that matches our lifestyle. Caroline and Andrew going the extra mile on the day whenever we needed them. Everyone had a memorable and great time! Great value for such a high standard of venue, beautiful grounds with panoramic views and a cosy timber clad barn for a foot stomping ceiliegh!
