We were really disappointed considering the price.
There was not even hand lotion in the bathroom. If you had a bath, you have to stand up to reach the soap, shampoo dispenser.
We had dinner in the dungeon which is expensive. The waiter that initially served us just about dumped everything on the table. The waitress that brought our food was sniffing continuously in your ear whilst dressing the food. We ordered 3 of the same meal. One had so much sauce the food looked like it was in soup. My husbands had quite a lot of sauce and mine had hardly any. We had to ask them to bring some sauce for my husband and I.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

was really looking forward to the night here. great dinner but too expensive. room was nothing special for staying in a castle. uncomfortable beds. breakfast is only complimentary with beads, coffee, etc. we used the spa facilities which my daughter loved. would not stay here again because it’s not that special.

This is the real castle deal!
We were thrilled be allocated room 4 in the large turret of the castle. A red four postered bed themed room with all the glory of days gone by. The bathroom was located down a narrow hallway near the door to the room and that made for some fun too! It felt really special! The ghost of Lady Catherine sadly didn't visit us and we slept like babies. Dinner in the dungeon was sensational and drinks before and after in the lounge rounded off the night. Brekkie was fab and the staff were super helpful from go to woah! Now that's a castle stay!

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.

An impressive castle building which makes use of many different rooms. Feels like you are able to explore inside and out. Twin castle bedroom was very disappointing though with damaged / stained furniture. Bathroom had serious issues - broken shower head, blocked drain and seized hot water tap. Nowhere near the standard expected for the price paid. Food and some staff ok, lacking the refinement and quality for a 4* rating (or 5* as the board at the entrance claims!)

Service was excellent from the receptionist. The food and drinks were superb. We stayed in a castle superior four poster room and it was everything we wanted in a stay at a castle. We will be back!

It was nice. Our room didnt have a castle feel because it was drywall and tiles, but the grounds were lovely, The food was great and most the staff were lovely.
It also had a nice little spa that was complimentary.
We had a view of the dumpsters which would have been nice if they covered it up, but its out in the country which is nice.
If you dont like stairs, maybe not the best place for you.
If youre looking for a nice getaway, its a cute little place. If you want to feel like youre sleeping in a castle, might not be the best place.

The castle itself is fantastic, and our room was brilliant. Unfortunately we were left disappointed though as it was booked as a birthday present, mostly for the Spa, which was mostly closed off. Plus in the morning it was closed all together due to work being done. We weren’t told about this prior to booking, and no offer of refund was offered.

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
