I booked this hotel because I thought it would be fun to stay in a castle on our trip to Scotland. This is a castle in a convention center and hotel complex- not a quaint castle hotel. When I booked there was no mention of the hotel attached and so I assumed that we would be in the historic castle hotel. This was not the case. The hotel itself was nice, spacious and clean, but expensive and not at all cozy. We had a drink at the castle bar which was very nice. The restaurant was nice, but expensive and not anything special. I wish I had known what this place was all about, because I was disappointed. I wish I had researched it a little more.

A very enjoyable stay in the new building although I had thought I had booked to stay in the castle itself. My room was impeccable, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Crossbaskets Castle for a get away.

We booked a castle as the image shows, but the actual hotel was next door- totally misrepresenting the accommodation. Feeling hoodwinked!

The grounds around the property were so lovely. Had nice walking paths that overlooked the Rotten Caulder River and small waterfalls. Serve tea in the castle every afternoon and you can choose in which public room you would like to be served. Mine was in the library. Breakfast was quite good.

This hotel is mainly a wedding and event space. There are only few rooms in the actual castle and they only serve afternoon tea there now, all other dining, bar and accommodations are in the nearby new modern building. I was quite disappointed by this as it was not clear when I booked. However the newer hotel building was actually really nice. The rooms and bathrooms were modern and well appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly. The place was really dead on a Tuesday but there was still live entertainment at the restaurant, which was nice.

we thought we were staying in a castle. We’re actually staying in a hotel room next to a castle. I think the name should read crossbasket castle and hotel not Castle hotel. The hotel is next to the castle and rooms run about US$400 per night … to get into the castle u have to book a different type of her room and that is about $900 a night. I wish it was clearer when I made the reservations. Nonetheless .. the facilities were great and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was g8! I would definitely stay here again, but would be more careful about the reservations and book inside the castle.
