Spent Christmas at Dalhousie, was wonderful. Food was excellent, the castle has so much history and character, and falconry and archery on site. Was a christmas away with a 10 year old, she loved it, made friends and loved the idea of dressing up. It was not a case of having to be dressed for each meal, just if you... More

Internally the hotel is looking very shabby. The room rate is the same as Prestonfield House hotel nearby and the experience could not have been more different. We were given a bedroom that clearly doubled as a meeting room with a sofabed and with a door that had been forced with a crowbar. We know where we will be choosing... More

From the first moment we drove down the approach to the castle we were filled with a magical sense of history. The team were great from Check in through to departure. We had a fantastic 4 poster room which had a sense of style and authenticity and we could imagine the figures from history who may have stayed there during... More

My husband and I chose Dalhousie, as we wanted to stay in Scottish castles. We were a bit disappointed with our choice. The castle is stunning on the approach. The reception area is nice, spaces are large and interesting. I can only say that it's time for the owners to have a walk-through with a restoration expert to get some... More

We returned for our 6th anniversary after getting married here. I am glad to say that it is still superb. Location, spa,food and staff are first rate. After years of under investment by von esson the new owners wont need to spend a huge amount to take this back upto 5 stars where it belongs.

Booked a standard double room with DBB included directly with hotel. Room was small, however it was clean and the bed very comfortable. We used the spa in the afternoon and it was rather quiet but the hydro pool, steam room and sauna were lovely. Great place to relax and unwind. We visited the Library bar at 7pm, had a... More

We only stayed one night, but it was a great experience. The Castle is a magnificent structure, and it is enjoyable exploring it and the grounds. We did not book the most expensive room, so the room itself was nice and clean, but not fancy or large. The spa provided great relaxation, as well as the steam room and sauna.... More

The slow responses, confused information, wrong rate quoted, igoring of emails and "not care" attitude stopped me from continue the booking. It's easily to take a week to receiev their reply for one single question. Their rate quoted are different from website but no one care to answer my query. I was worried by this kind of service and attitude... More
