Beautiful floral displays throughout the hotel. Wonderful staff and service. Lovely grounds to walk around. The archery was great fun thanks to George who was a fantastic coach.

This castle is THE dream destination. We went for our Anniversary and everything was perfect from start to finish. The room was beautifully and tastefully decorated as were all the public rooms. We felt totally relaxed from the moment we stepped inside. The staff were discrete and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. If you want to be treated like Royalty, then this is the place for you.

4/10 Fair

Let us down.

Called me a week in advance. Asked me if I was celebrating a special occasion (our 10 year anniversary). Also, if we had any allergies. Check in great. Place is beautiful. Facade of castle from outside a little tired. After checking into room, noticed a fly and insect infestation later in bathroom. Informed management. They took pictures. Nothing done or followed up. Dinner outstanding, the service is amazing and the staff really are well trained. Almost too much! (007 like with their earphones!). Returned to room, TV not working. To their credit, manager brought another TV - it's 10.30pm now. Still nothing done about insects (I have video and pictures too - review isn't letting me upload them). Breakfast 10/10, again top notch service. Credit to their staff. Went for a walk around grounds. Lovely. On checkout, no mention of issues. Dinner and wine came to £200+ and the overnight stay £300+ For a romantic, overnight experience. To fork out almost £600, I was not impressed. I'm disappointed. I expected big things from this place - we'd been wanting to come here for a long time. Informed hotel of our feedback on checkout survey. It's been a few days, still not heard from them. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Glenapp was the last stop before home, on our NC500 honeymoon. The staff as always were delightful & very helpful. The welcome is always special here & there were plenty of help to carry all our unorganised belongings to accomodate us all. This time we had our dog with us & Glenapp's policy suited us well, he had a welcom pack & was made extremely comfortable. Our room was spacious & well maintained. We dont expect dogs to be allowed in the restaurant area & the policy was that Ozzy was aloud to stay behind in the room. We ate in the potting shed of the Azalea, We were greeted by Jen, a lovely chatty, bubbly & profesional resturant manager. As we ate early & the other couples didn't have an issue, she very kindly allowed us to have ozzy sitting quietly at our table. It shouldn't be expected but honestly just the small personal touches & personalities is what make your stay special. We will be back to try our the new "Nest" Many Thanks

Hidden Gem

The moment you arrive at the cast iron, voice activated front gates you know that this is going to be a good stay! No need to check in, just make your way up the drive to the front entrance where your bags will be whisked away to your room and you'll be treated to quick tour of the castle before joining your bags. From start to finish everything is relaxing and taken care of, even down to the wellington boots and jacket at your disposal to allow a stroll around the gardens in not so clement weather. Food is delicious though a word of caution, leave the denims and t-shirts back at the house - dinner is somewhat more formal. Cannot fault a thing, and we will be back for another visit.

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived very late and had called ahead to let the staff know we would be late for our dinner reservation. We were told the kitchen closes at 9:30pm but would have sandwiches or salads available. We arrived after 9:30pm and upon arrival we were escorted to the drawing room to relax for a few minutes, but to our surprise they kept the staff in and served us a full dinner. We felt so bad they kept their staff on just for us, but that is the level of service we received at all times. I would HIGHLY recommend Glenapp Castle! Our room was spacious, cozy, clean and very well-appointed. Again, definitely a place I would stay again when back in Scotland
