The property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff were extremely helpful. Dining in all three restaurants was superb. We would definitely go back. The Falconry experience was amazing. Just be aware it is not run by the hotel but it is on or adjacent to the grounds. A two minute walk from the lobby.

The castle was absolute perfection. The staff were so helpful, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere and decor were amazing. Our stay in suite 29 is one we won’t soon forget - from the original stone walls to the copper bath tub to the beautiful linens, everything was memorable. The bar and the library were very enjoyable and relaxing. The falconry on the grounds was just fantastic. We would highly recommend this experience.

The whole experience was wonderful! My only draw was that with such a beautiful old property, that obviously wont have central air, they didnt provide a fan in the room. We kept the window open the entire time as it was unseasonably warm which resulted in some bug bites. A fan would've been lovely to combat the bugs and provide a bit of relief. The staff was lovely and the property quite opulent. I could sit in the window bench for hours hearing the birds. The dining was delicious. The falconry was an experience I would absolutely recommend! There are such beautiful wild flowers and wild raspberries on the trails as well as a lovely stream. This is a place to be tranquil and close to nature. Not a place for screen time. If you are doing a tour of Scotland this is a wonderful place to finish and relax.

Grounds and castle were beautiful. Unfortunately spa facility’s were not open, nor were 2 of the 3 restaurants. Service was somewhat inconsistent, especially at the bar. We sat for 10 minutes before bartender acknowledged us, only after me asking if we could get a drink. Same experience in the restaurant - one night was great and next night we weren’t even offered wine and drink list. Very odd.
