We have read a few negative comments and cannot agree with these opinions. Our stay was faultless, from our arrival at the castle and being greeted by the owners, to the delightful tour of the castle, our stunning suite and some of the consistently best food we have tasted anywhere else. Not only was the quality of the hotel fabulous... more

For the last thirty years I have been fortunate to visit all parts of Europe, but mainly France using the Relais et Chateaux Guide as my bible. After all these years I have found the property that is the acme of the R & C ethos- Glenapp Castle in Ayrshire. I am not the most easily impressed of people and... more

Whole stay was a fantastic experience. Beautiful drive from the castle gates to the castle entrance where a warm welcome awaits. Castle gardens and the castle itself immaculate. Room very comfortable and spacious. Attention to detail and service second to none. Food was flawless - finest quality ingredients cooked to perfection. If I was being picky, portion sizes could have... more

I'm sorry but I can't agree with previous reviews. My wife and I came away from Glenapp rather dissapointed, perhaps partly because of very high expectations based on its reviews and awards. I have two unqualified positive comments: The grounds are beautiful. The service is faultless. I have one qualified positive comment - the food: We arrived and were offered... more

One word comes to mind when I think of my stay at Glenapp: flawless. I’m fortunate to travel within the UK many times a year and I enjoy staying at 4 or 5 star country house hotels while visiting. Glenapp is billed as a 5 star, in my opinion it’s a 10 (and I am picky!). Fay and Graham Cowan... more

My family and I spent three nights at this wonderful hotel in the south-west corner of Scotland. One cannot help but be thoruoughly impressed by the approach to the hotel...a truly baronial facade! The welcome we received was warm and heart-felt. We were travelling with our very young daughter and the owner of the hotel did her best to make... more

I agree with previous reviews. This hotel is spectacular. The grounds are stunning and the castle has been renovated to the highest standards. What impressed was the attention to detail. The room was beautiful: luxurious and comfortable. The food and the service was also excellent. Yes it is expensive, but if you want a luxurious break where you will be... more

This is an outstanding hotel that has been gracefully renovated, it offers fabulous accomodations, outstanding food and luxurious decor. We stayed in August for our anniversary and the experience was to die for. Although rather expensive, if you want to treat someone to the experience of a lifetime, choose Glenapp, I'm glad I did. more

We got married at Glenapp Castle in December 2004 and we and our guests agree that it is the most magical place we have ever stayed. The owners, Graham and Fay, went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay and that the day went smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff - they... more
