Dalhousie Castle & Spa  

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.

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

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.

I booked my stay at this castle for the unique experience that it appeared to offer............. it did not disappoint!! The staff were very professional and very firendly. The 'Dungeon' dining was a treat. SInce returning home I have recommended the Dalhousie Castle to many people.

We liked everything about this hotel the staff were very friendly, helpful and polite nothing seemed to be to much trouble for them .Highly recommended.

The very bumpy and worn out road once you have turned off main road.

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.

It was a lovely building which was what we were after

The spa could have more facilities than it did

Location is beautiful and it is a grand old building

We were disappointed that our room was not made up - bed not made, no fresh towels, used cups/dishes not picked up. Also supposed to be turn down service - that was not done either. |We stayed 2 nights. Not sure if I would recommend it!

A very peaceful, comfortable hotel. Great food. Friendly staff. The best nights sleep I had in years. A truely beautiful location.

Location - close enough for Edinburgh for shopping & tourism but in the Countryside so quiet and relaxing and away from the bussle of city life and noise. Food excellent bit pricey but good choice. Staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Facilities excellent and if you have dogs they are welcome - didn't bring mine though.

Creeking stairscase and no lifts - glad was not on top floor. Driveway from main road in need of a serious upgrade - resurfacing required. Bit pricey - two nights just the limit, any longer and would be V.expensive with meals and drinks on top not forgetting the spa treatments....

The food was excellent and the room was stunning.

The rooms were lovely. We stayed in Robert the Bruce Room,it was specatcular!
