The grounds were absolutely fabulous. Our server Marni was lovely and pleasant to be around. The manager Vinni was excellent over the phone whilst booking our room and even better in person. He and Marni always had smiles on their faces and were eager to help in any way. The food was delicious and our room was way more spacious than I anticipated.
The only reason I didn’t score the overall experience as a 10 was solely based on my interaction with the front desk girl Tegan. It was my first time traveling with my family to Scotland-let alone staying in a castle. I was excited to check in and was “greeted” by Tegan who had no smile on her face and was genuinely unpleasant to interact with. I was appalled by her demeanor and was surprised she was in a position to be the face of the castle. She seemed irritated by our presence and was very short with her answers. She was the same way the following morning. No good morning as we passed or acknowledgement of my presence. Just odd. I hope these reviews are monitored because her employment should be reviewed. Front desk reception does not seem like a good fit for her. I have been employed in Human Resources for many years and am confused on how she ended up working in that role.

What an impressive piece of property this was when you drive up it’s absolutely beautiful! It was a long driveway to get to the Castle the road was manicured and everything was green and beautiful
There’s nothing that I could think of

The location was perfect for our stay, and as you drive up you cannot fail to be impressed by the exterior of the property.
We booked into the restaurant for both nights but we found the food and restaurant sadly lacking, we was sat down near the open flamed grill where the extract was obviously playing up letting smoke into the room which along with an acrid smell started to sting our eyes, when the starter arrived a beetroot cold plate we found this was poorly executed and very over priced. The main which was a Jerusalem artichoke risotto which had obviously been cooked earlier and left in the pass under the heat lamps as it was congealed and reminiscent of wallpaper paste and as for the Jerusalem artichoke that was non existent! Very poor to the point where we walked out without eating it, and I refused to pay at check out next day. The next day we ordered off the bistro menu upstairs and it was perfect in every way’ we just wish we had gone for that on the first night and our experience in the hotel would have been far better.
Breakfast’s was very nice with good quality local produce, very nice and the coffee was excellent.
Maybe the decors could do with refresh and replace some of the furniture as it’s had its day, yes they are antique but we have antique furniture and it can still function as a piece of furniture! .
I will add for us the staff who we interacted with where amazing.

Very Good
Quite peaceful location surrounded by green. Very close to bus service into the city. The restaurant was excellent.
There was no toiletries which seemed odd considering the pricing. Breakfast wasn’t as good as other less expensive places we stayed.
