While I can understand other comments about the state of the property, and it could use cleaning and updates in some areas, it really was a great place to stay. The staff were attentive, kind and went out of their way. We stayed in a walled garden room. It was beautiful and the bathroom was huge. All of the food we had was wonderful. Would love to stay again.

This was the best castle option we stayed in ! It was beautiful & quiet for nice walks around the property ;) we had to go to the inn fine the road to eat bc we didn’t want the fine dining option after a day of travel and wished they had a golf cart transport as it was a bit far when we walked for us older ladies :/ but the factor inn food was very good :) the staff at the castle were very helpful and delightful ; it was nice to have someone to carry our bags up the stairs !the breakfast was also exquisite!!

Exceptional Hotel Experience!

The castle is stunning and the people who work there are friendly and attentive. They went out of their way to accommodate our children's' food allergies. The room was luxurious and immaculately clean. The staff was very helpful prior to our arrival in helping us plan activities during our stay.

Spectacular stay. The castle is such a unique experience as a hotel and we loved every minute. The property is beautiful and the service was five star. The only negative was a giant beehive outside our room which prevented us from opening the window. A couple bees also made it inside our room but we were able to “guide” them back out with a small towel. Fortunately neither of us are allergic but my wife was not happy. However this didn’t ruin our stay and we would absolutely return and recommend to anyone. Definitely pricey but we found it worth it.

We had a memorable stay in Inverlochy Castle Hotel an experience which more than matched our expectations. Minor niggles were quickly resolved and in no way detracted from our enjoyment. We especially enjoyed walking in the grounds (November weather permitting) and the five course dinner in Seasgair was worth every penny, a fitting climax to our special occasion. Our suite was luxurious and retained the character of a well cared for former grand mansion. Staff were welcoming, obliging and engaging.

Absolutely stunning castle! The service was amazing and the people were incredibly friendly, courteous, and always helpful. We had an amazing time and felt treated like royalty. It was an amazing experience and we would recommend it 100x over. Truly recommend the dining experience, they cater to those who have dietary restrictions and go above and beyond to please. So nice to have this kind of service still around in the modern world.

The Inverlochy Castle was wonderful. We didn't realize our room was not in the actual castle but in a different part of the grounds called the walled gardens. The price of the room was definitely not worth it. If you book a room make sure you are in the castle unless you want to pay a lot of money to be on the grounds of the castle. The breakfast was amazing!

Excellent.

Our stay was great. John and his team were superb. Service impeccable and the hotel stunning. Only quibble - it is advertised as dog friendly but dogs are only allowed in the bedroom. Obviously they should not be allowed in the restaurant etc. however We thought having a dog in the lounge would not have been a major issue.

I cannot speak more highly about this hotel! The warm welcome from Kaitlyn, she makes you feel like you have come home and she is a constant presence making sure you have everything you need. Despite the cold outside the castle was lovely and warm, in both the rooms and the main lounge. The food is absolutely outstanding, we tried everything, we tried breakfast, afternoon tea, dinner in both the lounge and seagair restaurant, it is a foodies paradise and always served with smile. Everyone was so friendly which really makes you feel so relaxed. Can’t wait to go back.
