From the very start this was something special. Even booking was met with the sort of detail you would expect from only the very best, with recomendations as to which room would be most suited and questions to make sure any special dietry requirements were met. Pulling up in our car to be met by one of the owners and... more

Glenapp Castle simply meets the standards. We very much appreciated it's sobre elegance and warmth. Public areas with fire place and sofas and the dining rooms were lovely. Enjoyed the small library, the bedroom and the separate bathroom in a small tower. They really did their best to satisfy every need or wish. Successfully. Service top class, not to mention... more

This is, by far, the best hotel we have stayed in. Absolutely top notch, service, quality, food, location, decor. We cannot say enough about Glenapp, worth every cent and we will definitely be back. more

... Staff magically appear just when you need them, and never when you don't.... gardens, hikes, sport .... wonderful afternoon tea, and dinner.... rooms are very much what you would think a castle would look and feel like, bathrooms are indulgent, a truly "special" experience. One gets exactly what one pays for. more

It’s always a good sign when you wish you had been able to stay for more than one night at a hotel! Glenapp Castle was an absolute delight. This property is beautifully renovated and furnished, the extensive grounds are incredible and the owners manage it in the best kind of hands-on way, with every staff member playing their role to... more

Stayed for 2 heavenly nights at this fabulous hotel. The weather wasn't the best but that meant more time spent in this fantastic hotel which likes you to treat it as home. There is no formal reception desk, the staff know you're arriving via the elctric front gate and are waiting on the drive to greet you. We came with... more

WOW! That is what we both said when we pulled up to the gates of Glenapp Castle following our Scottish Castle Wedding Our Suite was almost as big as our house. The staff were extremely attentive and the dinners in the evening were amazing. Certainly a stay to remember - Recommended for a special occasion. more

A stay at Glenapp leaves you feeling all is well in the world.From the moment you buzz at the gates you are transported from whatever your "normality" is into a fairy tale world where you are the centre of all that is taking place. The castle and the grounds are stunning but what makes this place truly special are the... more

Having decided upon a Scottish castle as a surprise to celebrate my wife’s ‘special’ birthday, I researched many and Glenapp topped the list. So I arrived with high expectations – which were met in every single way. The whole experience was wonderful, for all the reasons listed by other reviewers, and my wife loved it. The owners obviously had a... more
