    Just as if we’d ‘stepped back in time’ and so very peacefully located Bed very comfortable, room very cozy and uniquely furnished with period pieces. Nice hot tub and grounds to freely wander Breakfast served in our room was a lovely touch , dinner served in the grand hall was superb and just thee perfect setting - thoroughly enjoyable and unique experience. Special thanks must go to Tobias who couldn’t have done any more to ensure our stay was just perfect 👌

    Nothing. Really didn’t want to go.

    We truly loved our stay, no more than our two spaniels. Tobias was an incredible host. We have never visited such a dog friendly place. Our room was beautiful, great care and attention has been given to the decoration and furnishings. I liked the fresh flowers and coffee machine as well as the Scottish breakfast that was served each morning in the room, with a pot of fresh coffee. The communication throughout the booking was brilliant. Tobias was warm and welcoming. It’s a very peaceful and quiet venue. The grounds are lovely to walk around. Our dogs just loved it.

    What an amazing place, so peaceful, In beautiful surroundings. James and Don were so pleasant and helpful and looked great in their traditional Scottish dress. The home cooked food was excellent, we had it in our room which was lovely. They made our dog very welcome, and she loved a walk in the castle grounds. The room was warm and clean and the bed was comfortable. All in all, it was an excellent stay, and we would definitely recommend it. Massive thank you

    Nothing not to like.

    What a beautiful and quirky place to stay. We chose the property due to location on the way back to England from Cairnryan. Dog friendly which is a big bonus. The property and grounds are beautiful. We loved the decor of our room and the huge comfortable bed. It was beautifully quiet overnight and warm too, which surprised us, given the historic nature of the property. We chose a continental breakfast which came with loads of pastries. Overall, a fabulous overnight and so special compared to most bnb options. We would love to visit again.

    Nothing to dislike.

    On arrival our host informed us that the room we had booked was unavailable due to unexpected circumstances, so we were given The Munches Room instead . The room was lovely with everything needed to make our stay comfortable. Our host had given us clear instructions via emails on arrival details and directions a few days before our departure, which was very helpful. We were served breakfast in our room each morning by our host , which was lovely. The hot tub was available for us to use , which was a fantastic bonus . Overall we had a fabulous experience staying at the Castle and we were made to feel very welcome.

    The location was very peaceful and had lovely views over the countryside, the gardens were lovely, we were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting out in the morning. The history of the building is amazing, we were shown the chapel and the ball room, you can feel the history inside. The host was great, I get the feeling they take great pride in their premises and service. The room was lovely and felt as though you stepped back in time a little (with modern comforts).

    Breakfast consisted of good quality foods but a bit on the minimal side. Would have liked a tea pot in the room.

    Beautiful location. Loved being able to walk around and explore the venue. The work carried out on the property and garden was fantastic and to a high standard. The room was very cosy and the bed was very comfortable with good quality bed linen. Loved seeing the peacock in the morning and being surrounded by nature.
