Very clean, tidy and homely. The beds were large and comfy. The apartment was beautifully decorated with some lovely touches such as the lit up Christmas tree. Would definitely stay here again.

Even better than it looks!
The apartment is absolutely beautiful. Clean, tidy, very comfortable, chic, great views, great location. The beds were huge and so comfy, the kitchen is well fitted out with everything you could need. The views from the apartment are lovely, and there are lots of woodland walks on the doorstep. It is a fairly easy walk into the town from the property. A nice touch with dog bowls etc in a wee pet drawer. TVs in every room with a great choice between Netflix, Prime, iPlayer etc and a DVD player. Plus another drawer full of DVDs. Bathrooms very clean with lovely products to use and big fluffy towels. The hosts were so easy to contact and very helpful. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect stay!
Our stay at Venlaw Castle was absolutely perfect. There were no issues with check-in and the property was immaculate. It was the perfect spot to stay in around the corner from Neidpath Castle while here for a wedding. Highly recommend you consider this property!
