Called me a week in advance. Asked me if I was celebrating a special occasion (our 10 year anniversary). Also, if we had any allergies.
Check in great. Place is beautiful. Facade of castle from outside a little tired.
After checking into room, noticed a fly and insect infestation later in bathroom. Informed management. They took pictures. Nothing done or followed up.
Dinner outstanding, the service is amazing and the staff really are well trained. Almost too much! (007 like with their earphones!).
Returned to room, TV not working. To their credit, manager brought another TV - it's 10.30pm now. Still nothing done about insects (I have video and pictures too - review isn't letting me upload them).
Breakfast 10/10, again top notch service. Credit to their staff.
Went for a walk around grounds. Lovely.
On checkout, no mention of issues. Dinner and wine came to £200+ and the overnight stay £300+
For a romantic, overnight experience. To fork out almost £600, I was not impressed. I'm disappointed. I expected big things from this place - we'd been wanting to come here for a long time.
Informed hotel of our feedback on checkout survey. It's been a few days, still not heard from them.
Sadly, we won't be returning.

This castle is THE dream destination. We went for our Anniversary and everything was perfect from start to finish. The room was beautifully and tastefully decorated as were all the public rooms. We felt totally relaxed from the moment we stepped inside. The staff were discrete and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. If you want to be treated like Royalty, then this is the place for you.

We arrived very late and had called ahead to let the staff know we would be late for our dinner reservation. We were told the kitchen closes at 9:30pm but would have sandwiches or salads available. We arrived after 9:30pm and upon arrival we were escorted to the drawing room to relax for a few minutes, but to our surprise they kept the staff in and served us a full dinner. We felt so bad they kept their staff on just for us, but that is the level of service we received at all times. I would HIGHLY recommend Glenapp Castle! Our room was spacious, cozy, clean and very well-appointed. Again, definitely a place I would stay again when back in Scotland

When you turn up to a castle you expect something a story. This wasn't and didn't match the brochure. I asked about the history of the castle. I got told it was built 1850 ish. No other details. I found more details from wikipedia than i did from the staff.The service was very slow and very formal. Breakfast took over one and a half hours. Dinner was over 2 hours.The formality remained me more of my old boarding school than a hotel.The seating in the dinning room was closer than the expected 2 meters

On the whole our stay at Glenapp Castle for 3 nights was excellent. Service location food grounds etc were all very good to a very high standard .
We had the grand master suite which is the biggest suite and it was lovely.....couple of things were not to standard which we did point out and hopefully will be rectified as we do Plan to revisit with family and friends.

This hotel is not worth the money!! Unfortunately when you point out things that could be improved on they are not at all receptive to anything but compliments . We had a large room with a tiny tv not coffee or tea in room unless you phone for it. Three times we were forced to call the hotel on the outside line as no one answered internally. We stayed two nights and complimentary toiletries not replaced with asking( the bed was remade but no cleaning took place on second night. Anything we asked for in the room we had to ask more than once ie toiletries water and room service menu. We stayed 2 nights had one disappointing dinner and paid £1300. Not worth it. The breakfast was however very nice!

This was our second time at Glenapp. We were a bit uncertain how things would be after the pandemic closure but need not have been concerned - it was all as good as we remembered and they had all the sensible precautions in place for our stay.

Despite the national Covid rules and current upgrade works we had an amazing stay to celebrate our anniversary and the staff couldn’t have tried harder to make our stay special! The food was out of this world and we will return with friends once the pandemic is over.

My now fiance and myself have just returned from an absolutely fantastic weekend at Glenapp Castle. From the moment you arrive at the main gates and make your way up the driveway you realise how private, intimate and spcial Glenapp truly is. My partner and were met at the front door whare we were made to feel exceptionally welcome. Our luggage was delivered to our our room promptly, so promptly it was there before us. After we were give a tour of the common rooms we were taken to our room. The room did not disappoint it was beautifully decorated, clean, warm and welcoming. As it was a wee bit late in the evening by the time my partner and I arrived we decided on ordering some snacks to our room rather than have dinner in the hotel.The Saturday morning breakfast was lovely, I had opted for the full grill breakfast, my partner had the crushed avocados served on sourdough toast topped with 2 poached eggs.My partner and I had decided to dine in the hotel in Saturday evening whare we had the 6 course gourmet meal. We decided to sit in the drawing room for a few pre dinner drinks before being led into the dining area . The dining area its self is beautiful and intimate , the meal was both well presented and flavoursome I will honestly say one of the best meals I have ever eaten. It was after dinner when I took my partner for stroll and proposed , we are now hoping to honeymoon at Glenapp. Its beautiful, private and special place to spend a few days with your loved one .

Unfortunately weather took a turn for the worst and curtailed our outdoor exploration but this added to our appreciation of the luxurious comfort of the castle with welcoming large log fires. Food and service first class with staff going out of there to be friendly and helpful making this an experience not to be missed.
