“Excellent castle themed bedroom suite and a wonderful adventure to sleep in a castle.”
Michael,
Buff Point
This fascinating 13th-century castle is in the middle a forest and parkland by the banks of the Esk River and has unique bedrooms with antique furnishings. Some of the rooms are located in a 100-year-old lodge detached from the castle. The hotel's 2 AA Rosette-awarded Dungeon Restaurant is in the vaults, the oldest part of the castle, and serves traditional Scottish cuisine. The Orangery has extensive views of the Esk River and it offers a lighter and more modern menu. The hotel’s spa, Aqueous Spa features many treatments as well as hydro facilities including a massaging jet pool, a sauna and a steam pool. There is an archery and falconry center on the grounds. Edinburgh is only 20 minutes away from Dalhousie Castle & Spa and it takes 10 minutes to Rosslyn, Roslyn or Roslin Chapel which is a possible resting place of the Holy Grail. Hotel Rooms: 36 Most recent booking for this hotel was today at 08:02 from United Kingdom.

The Castle was everything we expected and more, the spa was a welcoming sight after a long day spent touring Edinburgh, the rooms were first class and offered all required for an over night stay. Compliments to the chef as the food was exceptional, added to this all the staff couldn't do enough to please and made or stay perfect. Thanks again Dalhousie Castle Gilly and Paul from Berks.

Dalhousie Castle is well worth the short drive from Edinburgh.The room exceeded my expectations and the gourmet supper in the Dugeon was delicious.The country setting was peacefull and an ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautiful country setting. If you are looking for a place to create memories...this is it. I can not say there was anything I did not like about the Dalhousie Castle. However,all the stairs might be a challenge for some; but the clerk was quick to pick up our bags and help.

Great atmosphere and surroundings. An historical building with interesting features but with all the modern comforts. Lovely grounds and scenery. Pleasant and helpful staff. The breakfast - full scottish main meal - was a little disappointing with the haggis and black pudding looking sad and badly presented. The rest of the breakfast was good however. my name was wrong upon checking in, my surname was completely different!

The breakfast was lovely, a wide range of fruits, cereals, yoghurts, pastries and cooked food available. The food in the orangery was also tastey although a little overpriced. The spa was a huge let down, quite grimey in a few areas, temperature of the spa a bit on the cool side, some of the facilities not working and no ambiance. The spa would benefit of soft lighting and gentle music to create atmosphere. The Orangery provided quality food but didn't reflect being in a castle as this is a conservatory. The point of me booking a romantic break away was to enjoy relaxing spa facilities and to feel as though my partner and i were spending time in a castle.

1 the cheerful porter 2 the castle itself 1 we asked for a room with a view and got an attic view with no view 2 no lift. There were 5 stairs between the dining room and our room. The absence of a lift was not apparent from your website which is an important point as rooms were let so high in the building. 3 the much advertised gourmet experience was illusory as no seat was available until 8.30 pm and the alternate dining experience offered was disappointing

Fabulously presented hotel, friendly and extremely helpful staff working hard to ensure our stay was the best it possibly could. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel is first class. Having to leave after a brilliantly staged Hogmanay Gala dinner. Definitely go again, nothing not to like at this hotel. Great staff, great food and lovely surroundings.

I had a fabulous time at Dalhousie. I was travelling on my own. The staff made sure I felt comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for them. The staff were marvelous. Highly recommended hotel for customer service. The only down side was that my room did get rather cold towards the evening even when the heating was on. However I called down to reception and they fetched a heater for me. Again nothing was a problem. A visit to the library is highly recommended especially when the log fire is lit. And the staff serve alcohol and hot drinks in the library. The wine was particularly nice!! I am looking forward to staying again.

Everything. I can't find anything negative to write about this hotel. the food was amazing, comliments to the kitchen staff. The service was perfect along with the atmosphere in the dungeon restaurant. we were having a glass of wine in the library when Peter the night porter came along and took us on a tour of the castle and told us ghost stories!! We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

We enjoyed the falconry and archery instruction on site. That was tops! En suite shower was wonderful and with towel warmer and generous robes and slippers. Overpriced for its run down condition. Stairs leading to our room seemed ready for replacement. Mattress was past prime. Trails offered on the castle grounds were not according to the maps. Supper meal in Orangery was horrible. Service was marginal at best with all the staff. Internet usage was not including in the hotel price.

Checking out was the best experience, I would never recomend this hotel to any one. It was grossly overpriced! The internet you were charged for was intermitent to non existant, the bed felt like concrete, the towels were old, thin and scratchy, the room was extremely dusty and couldn't I stop sneezing, the restaurant food was bland and overpriced, And overall it was just a 2 star hotel wrapped in a castle.

Dalhousie Castle is an attractive building and a couple of the staff were helpful and pleasant. Our booking was for One "Themed" Room and One Standard Room and despite me saying to the girl on reception that the booking had been corrected by Booking.com we were still sent to the wrong rooms.In fairness to the hotel they did upgrade our friends so that the didn`t have to vacate the room they had been given by mistake but I have to say I don`t know what the "Theme" of our room was unless it was "Mildew in the bathroom"The bar was over priced,if I remember correctly £4.35 for a 330ml Magners,In their Library Bar where the Barman was too busy escorting another couple to the Restaurant and seemed to be looking down his nose at us.We stay in a lot of hotels and the breakfast was far from exceptional so I can`t understand the reviews on here that rave about it.On the second day I had the Salmon with a poached Egg and it was bearly Three mouthfuls,and no I haven`t got a big mouth !We used a Premier Inn on the last day of our trip,just to break the journey,and the breakfast there was far more enjoyable.
