Beautiful location, food was excellent.
In need of an update to furniture and some fixtures.
Staff was not friendly and offered no explanations regarding breakfast or which rooms on the main floor were open for guest use. Since it is INCREDIBLY difficult to get to and there’s no towns nearby, we had no options but to eat dinner there. The food was good but this definitely brought up our overall costs. Our stay was okay but given that it was by far our most expensive stay of our Scotland trip, I can’t say I’d recommend it. P
Historic hotel set in its own grounds, we walked here as part of the Cateran Trail. The staff, the food, the ambience, the upkeep of the hotel, and our room were all excellent.

The staff were wonderful. We enjoyed the surroundings and the peace and quiet. The food was delicious and very generous portions
What fun it was to stay overnight in a castle that made us feel like we had gone back in time. The grounds were beautiful to walk and the food was wonderful.
The food and service were fantastic and the hotel is situated in the most beautiful surroundings. A stunning place to stay. We will definitely be back.
Our room was spacious with a four poster bed and beautiful views from the windows. Took a walk on the grounds in the morning, the setting is spectacular.
Beautiful location in the middle of no where, quiet and serene.

We stayed here as it was close to the highland games we were attending and was a nice stay. The property is very old and shows signs of it, but was part of the castle stay charm. The staff are wonderful and the hiking is breathtaking. Food was good and it was a neat stay in a castle. Would recommend.
Excellent hotel. Staff were friendly, helpful and the dinner was excellent. Lovely peaceful surroundings.

This is such a unique stay. It is tucked way back in a beautiful location - we were so pleased with the solitary nature of the hotel! It is a *bit* fancier than we expected, but we were overall pleased with the space.
