Enjoyable castle stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A quirky and pleasurable castle experience. They had laid the dining table for us on arrival so instead of eating out every night we stayed in one evening and had a fun dinner in the wood panelled dining room.

Idyllic setting

We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and opportunity to stay in a castle in Scotland. The grounds were lovely with the burns flowing by. There were 3 of us and we enjoyed the wing of the castle with the two period bedrooms (the two story newer section of the castle),
