It was ok
It was not a castle. Overpriced. Slightly run down.

Wonderful
The history of the castle and the location was excellent.
The cleanliness was excellent, the room was very comfortable, the restaurant and evening meal was excellent, the breakfast was plentiful and very good, the grounds were very beautiful and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
If I was to be picky, it would be the chandeliers in the breakfast room are in need of repair and perhaps the table cloths could be pressed

Arranged our 2-night stay as a combination birthday present for my wife and an alternative for our honeymoon (which we had to cancel in May due to a parent being hospitalised). We chose the location as part of our trip to Edinburgh for the 75th Military Tattoo (which unfortunately was cancelled on the night we had tickets for due to Storm Floris). The Castle and grounds are at the end of a half-mile-long drive that takes you through woodland and follows the river. The Castle car park is in front of the main entrance so not too far to carry bags etc.
Our room (a junior suite) was as impressive as we thought it would be, and very comfortable. The furniture is looking a little tired and worn; again, a little varnish or polish would change that. The food we had for breakfast was very nice, with a good selection to suit most tastes and appetites.
The grounds are surrounded by woodland and has a river running through, this makes for an enjoyable and peaceful walk at anytime of day.
Overall, it was a stay in a castle, not a budget hotel. We were celebrating (trying to celebrate) a couple of events from this year, and this place will have memories for us for many years.
We have rebooked the Tattoo for the following week and booked in the castle again for just 1 night.
The car park would benefit from a couple of tons of loose gravel just to tidy it up
The entrance is looking a little tired, but a little paint on the coat of arms above the door and removing some of the green moss and weeds from the stone facade and gutters is all it needs.
The wardrobe was on the small side, especially if you're planning to attend a few different-styled activities and the weather is unpredictable.

Amazing castle, nice paths to walk in the private forest
A bit old in facilities etc (eg taps, toilet, shower need changing to justify charging these prices)
