I selected Craufurdland Castle after an extensive search of castles and other properties in the UK, France, and Italy for a surprise engagement for my then girlfriend together with our families and close friends. Craufurdland presented a unique, well-located (especially among castles), and scenic venue for the surprise proposal. My now fiancée and our guests were suitably impressed by both the historic castle setting and comfortable and singular rooms. We shared a once in a lifetime weekend complete with an impressive and convenient on-site restaurant (The Laird's Table, nested alongside a loch) and outdoor activities like hikes on the property and archery. Throughout the entire process Aditi, our host and property manager, was incredibly patient and helpful as I navigated the complexities of planning a surprise engagement for a part of 12-16 from outside the United Kingdom. I would highly recommend the Craufurdland experience and am very thankful to Aditi and Simon for making this once-in-a-lifetime experience possible.

Overall experience was good although it was not clear on the listing that the castle was ‘shared’ and that the owners lived on premise. The place looks good but the surroundings are nothing extraordinary (highway close to the place, parc is not super well maintained etc)

A fantastic castle with very friendly and helpful hosts next door. The castle is steeped in history and the owner Adity very kindly gave us an interesting tour of the whole castle. I would recommend this as a great place to stay for a family holiday.

We were delighted with our stay in this fascinating place. Good facilities and steeped in history. Lots to interest all . Easy access to Glasgow, local supermarket, excellent restaurant, walking and cycling trails. Tree top trails were the absolute highlight for all three generations.

This 800 year old castle is impressive. Divided into 2 (Lairds house and the rental). There are 3 levels to this property and plenty room for everyone. Each room is uniquely decorated, most with antique and vintage furniture. The castle was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need to cook your own meals (food not provided, of course), but a market was near the property with just a quick drive. Adity was fantastic, she gave our family a tour of the whole castle, including her residence and explained all the history of her family. The grounds are large and lots of places to explore. Some of our guest even got to experience paranormal activity, which was a welcomed experience as none of the resident ghost are harmful. We had multiple people experience actual sightings, scents and voices along with a chill to the air with each occurrence. We ate at the onsite restaurant Lairds Table, which was a pleasant experience. Our whole family wishes we would have stayed longer. Definitely worth a visit!
