From the drive up at night we saw Dalhousie in its splendour. What can I say about the Magnificent Dalhousie Castle. All the Staff from front of house to waiting staff and the spa were outstanding. The Spa was magical, we booked in advance and would highly recommend the coconut head massage and back neck & shoulder massage. We came out feeling totally relaxed. Our room was so beautiful four poster room and my fiancee cried when she saw it. The room was huge and spotlessly clean. The grounds are stunning & the Falconry and archery are a must for any visitor to the castle. we will 100 percent be going back. Breakfast was so delicious and set your up for the day. Thankyou so much Dalhousie Castle for the most fabulous 4 night stay we have ever had. Keep doing what you are doing and we will definitely see you again. 10/10

Lovely stay, great for couples
Incredible location, lovely staff. Slightly faded glamour, but still a delightful stay. The bedrooms got toasty warm but the communal spaces (library, bar) were a bit too chilly.
