Dalhousie Castle - Beautiful Stay

A beautiful place to stay. Service from check in to check out was great, parking was convenient, and the room was clean. We had dinner in the "dungeon" with the pre-set tasting menu and it was extraordinary. We di did not utilize the spa area so I can't comment on those services. We would definitly stay here again.

Lovely stay, great for couples

Incredible location, lovely staff. Slightly faded glamour, but still a delightful stay. The bedrooms got toasty warm but the communal spaces (library, bar) were a bit too chilly.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Castle grounds were nice. Castle itself was nice as well. There is currently scaffolding covering one side. There was a wedding there so we couldn't go into the library cuz it was reserved for them.
