From the drive up at night we saw Dalhousie in its splendour. What can I say about the Magnificent Dalhousie Castle. All the Staff from front of house to waiting staff and the spa were outstanding. The Spa was magical, we booked in advance and would highly recommend the coconut head massage and back neck & shoulder massage. We came out feeling totally relaxed. Our room was so beautiful four poster room and my fiancee cried when she saw it. The room was huge and spotlessly clean. The grounds are stunning & the Falconry and archery are a must for any visitor to the castle. we will 100 percent be going back. Breakfast was so delicious and set your up for the day. Thankyou so much Dalhousie Castle for the most fabulous 4 night stay we have ever had. Keep doing what you are doing and we will definitely see you again. 10/10

We had an amazing time at Dalhousie! Everything about the property was unique from drinks in the Sir Alexander Room to the Dungeon Restaurant to the breakfast in the Orangery, we had a great time!

Incredible location, lovely staff. Slightly faded glamour, but still a delightful stay.
The bedrooms got toasty warm but the communal spaces (library, bar) were a bit too chilly.

When we arrived the gentleman gave us a tour of the castle even thought we arrived late. It was amazing . We were so excited we could hardly get to sleep!

The staff were ok as were the common areas. We paid for a “honeymoon suite” and it was anything but. Other than the bed the rest of the decor could be found in a skip. The bathroom was from ikea as were a-lot of fixings. The carpet was rough and lots of stains on walls. Hairs in bath and the two robes provided were still wet and stained with what was hopefully tea. The breakfast was fine in the orangery. Overall a let down for the price paid. I’d possibly recommend it at half the price.

We loved our stay at the castle. Especially loved eating dinner in the Orangery. The food was exceptional. While it wasn't a problem for our group we did watch a disabled woman try to go up the stairs because there was no elevator. Maybe there should be something in the listing so accommodations could be made to put those needing it on the first floor.

Obviously beautiful outside, we stayed in the Mary Queen of Scott’s suite. It was the last night of our honeymoon and we shared that prior to arrival with the staff… so we were pretty disappointed that no effort was make to help make it special. Dinner was grossly expensive and honestly not exceptional to justify it.
