    It was advertised as a 5 star hotel but I feel like that was a bit of a stretch. Hotel was a little understaffed. Breakfasts were great, dinner was good, but the tea was just ok (felt it was a overpriced for what we got).

    Unique and fun location especially with kids! Very nice beds and linens. Great breakfasts.

    It isn’t a castle no walls, keep, nor towers. It is a very interesting two plus century manor house with lovely grounds.

    Lovely restored period rooms with furnishings appropriate for the castle. Great food and staff.

    Could have been more choice for evening meals.But all that was on offer was excellent .

    The castle is tucked away in wooded area down a long country track.It is very pretty setting like a fairy tale castle.Staff we’re relaxed and welcoming polite with no airs and graces.Room was huge and comfy four poster.Open fires in main reception areas have a homley feel.We we’re able to roam freely around the castle and grounds as it is very much a family home environment .Breakfast was excellent good quality and plenty of choice. Both hot and cold options available .Very unique and slightly quirky experience

    The staff could have helped with more recommendations about what to do in the area.

    The castle felt like a second home, not at all fussy and there were special touches for the kids, who loved every minute.

    Nothing! It was absolutely perfect

    Everything. I've never been anywhere else like it!! We loved it. Quirky features, amazing room, spacious beds, comfy beds, the facilitites even down to the little bottles of milk. The grounds are fabulous, the sheep are friendly and even stroked one. Just perfect. So quiet and romantic. The food was superb! Staff and the house keeper (originally from leeds) could not do enough!!!!! Thank you, we will be back

    At first our bedroom was freezing, but a gentleman turned the heating up so was ok, Dinner at night was a set menu, nothing else, I’m sorry to say, it wasn’t up to my standards and was overly priced

    The beautiful castle and its history, beautiful decor, original features, fabulous . The breakfast staff namely Julie and Jen, they made us feel so welcome and we had a great chat to them, they are a credit to the castle! Lovely breakfast

    Our room wasn't very warm, and only had one small window, so was quite dark without the lamps lit.

    Grandeur and old world class

    A minor niggle - but the driveway up to the hotel could do with some attention.

    As one might expect, this is a hotel with grandeur and old world class. Our room and bathroom were huge (has anybody else ever used a four-poster bath?) and the decor very much in keeping with the castle. The beds were nicely firm and there was plenty of hot water. The lounge and dining room were comfortable and the staff friendly and attentive. The food (both dinner and breakfast) were delicious. Obviously it is expensive, but if you think you deserve a treat, this is a great place to stay.

    Some of the outside furniture & areas could do with a little TLC but this went with the concept & desire to give guests a unique experience within a family owned country house so wasn't a major issue for us. As one guest aptly put it Augill Castle is "perfectly imperfect" & this is what makes this venue unique.

    We loved the building exterior look & the quirky, shabby chic interior style, it is full of character & the staff & owners were very friendly & eager to make our stay a pleasant one. Our room (H) was fabulous, it was big with a very comfortable king size 4 poster bed, large bathroom & had access to small turret rooms in it....we stayed 2 nights & had dinner both nights which was excellent, on the second night the meal included a jazz evening with a fabulous pianist & a brilliant vocalist, they were both excellent and delivered a highly polished set of songs which were a joy to listen to....

    the dinning room did disappoint a little as it was not furnished as expected the furniture was too modern for the surroundings and did not seem to be in keeping with the rest of the rooms. It would be nice if the staff wore a coordinated uniform -they were dressed a little too casually ie jeans - black trousers and crisp white shirts would look much more appropriate .(my taste)-(Although this did not detract from our very enjoyable stay)

    The location was fabulous .The interior of the Castle was mostly in keeping with the period .of the property - The food served was exceptional and was excellent value. The staff were quite young but they were attentive and efficient they did a good job.a credit to you .
