Castle ground accommodation

We enjoyed the views over the castle home and the surroundings. The shower had excellent pressure and bathroom had a good amount of space.

Come for the castle, stay for the food!

The lodge is quaint and cosy with thoughtful interior design touches. The guest information is outstanding - the owners have thought of everything. They provide milk, tea/coffee, cooking oil, herbs, salt & pepper etc etc AND lovely snacks and their own jam. We liked that the lodges (and cafe, event space and farm) are family owned. The cafe is gorgeous - lovely design, amazing food and wonderful staff. We particularly enjoyed the honeyberry ice cream.

Loved the property and shop has the best coffee in Scotland. Delightful staff who couldn't do enough to help us with luggage etc. Would have given a 10 but two things broken in our lodge (bathroom skylight and one button on toilet cistern.)

A most wun'erful place to stay with fresh berries t'boot!

What a treat - the rural locale no more than a stone's throw from supplies, the lovely castle grounds, the beautiful rooms, the comfy, comfy bed. And the the gift basket with snacks and fresh berries from the farm across the road turned out to be a lifesaver, as we had all manner of transport woes getting to the Lodge, and hadn't been able to get a crumb for most of the day 'til then. Also a testament to the beauty of the place is that once we got inside from the tropical-storm outside, a wave of calm and ease came over us. We suddenly didn't mind that the weather had totally scuppered the day. And we got the best sleep we had throughout our holiday. Breakfast is available just next door at the lodge's cafe, and it's scrumptious (and they have more berries for sale if you eat through the gift basket like we did). Only regret is that we stayed just one night.
