We had a superb and enormous tower bedroom in this wonderful old castle, which is full of public areas to read and chill. Hugely atmospheric. Highly recommended.

Was a neat castle & grounds. Lots to do. Just wish we had more time there.
Trevor, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The grounds were spectacular to walk around the falconry area and the trails around the castle were idylic
Graeme and Simone, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing Overall Experience
The castle is a stunning building from the outside. Once inside, however, you are in a very tired environment. The hotel is in desperate need of some investment/renovation. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. Some of the service was first class while the majority was sub-par. No value for money.
Jason, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location. Really enjoyed our experience at the Falconry. Remember to pre-book your spa services.

stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The decorations and atmosphere were lovely and contributed to the castle experience. The drinks and the food are slightly more pricey compared to the city. The room was big and the staff was very friendly. I would totally recommend this property for an escape from the city.
Maxime, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property was unique in that it is a castle outside of the city. It was an adventure to stay in an actual castle that once belonged to the Ramsay’s - our ancestors. It could use a bit of upgrading, perhaps a lift or staff to assist with luggage, and perhaps a gift shop? All in all it was an amazing experience!
Ruth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Felt like we stepped back time,and were honored guest of royalty
Ralph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing experience. Especially enjoyed having drinks in the library, visiting with the falconer, relaxing in the spa, and dinner in the dungeon. Worth every penny!!

Clinton, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel advertised itself as pet friendly. When we arrived with our dog they told us we would have to stay in the lodge , not the room in the castle I had originally reserved,because they didn’t allow dogs in the castle. Then they gave us an inferior room up 2 flights of stairs that I had to climb with my bad knees. I was extremely disappointed.
penny, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I would never stay here again. Extremely disappointing food and service for the price we paid. The property is beautiful but that is all.

Got there at 11pm. No one in reception so had to hunt him down. Nobody behind the bar so no drinks. Would I stay there again .. Absolutely Just a great place to be.
Kenneth, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

For the price,very disappointed in quality of food and service for dinner. Had better food in most pubs throughout Scotland, and room had large wet stain on the wall with black and green mold on it
Patsy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed staying in an actual Scottish castle. The castle offered a nice base to explore Edinburgh (30 minute drive). You will not have the same conveniences of a modern hotel such as air conditioning but overall it has been great. The fine dining dungeon restaurant offers a unique atmosphere though the food was not to our taste. We much preferred the Orangery the more casual restaurant on site.
Kate, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a trip of a lifetime and wanted to stay in a castle for couple days and this place was hands down amazing so friendly, it’s quiet and clean. Looking forward to being back
Charlotte, 2-night trip

Lovely visit to the hotel. Certain areas like the bathroom could maybe do with a bit of an update
Joanne, 1-night trip

Absolutely beautiful. It’s a REAL castle with lots of history. The rooms are beautiful. The bathroom is amazing. The bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
