Staff were lovely people. Bed was super comfy (108). I didn't get a visit from Elizabeth the Ghost, but the grounds were beautiful.
Food at the restaurant was okay. Not the best steak I've had but it was okay.

We saw a lot of castles in Scotland but to stay in one was special. No pool, no gym but a reading room with a fire and bar to have wee dram of scotch while my wife was reading an Agatha Cristie novel and I savoured the view an atmosphere. The rose petals and swan towels on the bed was a lovely surprise. The food was excellent.
Our car had a thick frost on windscreen the next day - just joking. The staff gave us a scraper and it added to the brisk bright winters day

Property was magical, with beautiful scenery and decor.
Just at the fire alarm went off at around 5 am in the morning which woke us up. And it was a tad bit cold.

Poor
The property was unique and met the criteria my wife sought to stay at a castle in Scotland.
The restaurant was a disaster. The quality of the food was acceptable but there are serious management issues. Bar tender clearly doesn’t know how to pour a double whiskey and the scallops dinner proved they didn’t know what the were doing. Where in the world would you be served scallops cut in halves as main course? Both issues were brought to the attention of the bar tender, servers and the general manger. My concerns were simply dismissed. Therefore, I cannot recommend the dining room. That experience tainted my opinion of the remaining time at the castle. Robert S. Gropper. October 14, 2025

The grounds made for some lovely walks, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We also thoroughly enjoyed the meals, in all the settings.
The bed in the loft was a little warm at first, but opening the window wide and running the fan helped.

The most lovely place we stayed on our 10-day trip. I loved the beautiful artwork, furnishings, and outdoor space...quiet.
