The whole experience was wonderful! My only draw was that with such a beautiful old property, that obviously wont have central air, they didnt provide a fan in the room. We kept the window open the entire time as it was unseasonably warm which resulted in some bug bites. A fan would've been lovely to combat the bugs and provide a bit of relief. The staff was lovely and the property quite opulent. I could sit in the window bench for hours hearing the birds. The dining was delicious. The falconry was an experience I would absolutely recommend! There are such beautiful wild flowers and wild raspberries on the trails as well as a lovely stream. This is a place to be tranquil and close to nature. Not a place for screen time. If you are doing a tour of Scotland this is a wonderful place to finish and relax.

The property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff were extremely helpful. Dining in all three restaurants was superb. We would definitely go back. The Falconry experience was amazing.

Our stay at Dalhousie Castle was extremely disappointing from start to finish. Despite booking a suite months in advance, we were downgraded on arrival due to a maintenance issue and given little choice but to accept a basic room far below what we had paid for. The alternative offered was a modern lodge suite that resembled an add-on conservatory, hot, lacking privacy, and completely at odds with the castle experience we had booked. While a credit against dinner was offered at the time as compensation, I later established that this was substantially less than the actual difference in room rates. The room we ended up in was also missing basic amenities, including a mirror in the bedroom, meaning I had to use my iPad as a makeshift mirror to dry my hair. Service throughout the stay was disorganised and unprofessional: reception was often unmanned, staff could not locate room service menus, and we were asked to return with our own order written down. Breakfast was poorly managed, with long waits, insufficient staff, and even basic items such as plates, fruit juice, preserves, and peppermint tea unavailable. While there were a few bright spots, particularly the quality of the dinner and service in the restaurant, the overall experience fell far below expectations and did not reflect the standards or value advertised.

The castle was absolute perfection. The staff were so helpful, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere and decor were amazing. Our stay in suite 29 is one we won’t soon forget - from the original stone walls to the copper bath tub to the beautiful linens, everything was memorable. The bar and the library were very enjoyable and relaxing. The falconry on the grounds was just fantastic. We would highly recommend this experience.

Grounds and castle were beautiful. Unfortunately spa facility’s were not open, nor were 2 of the 3 restaurants.
Service was somewhat inconsistent, especially at the bar. We sat for 10 minutes before bartender acknowledged us, only after me asking if we could get a drink. Same experience in the restaurant - one night was great and next night we weren’t even offered wine and drink list. Very odd.

Forgotten Vows. Terrible communication.
I booked the castle for my vow renewal 7 months in advance. And made reservations for the Dungeon. I spoke with the event planner and assumed everything was set. 3 weeks before the date recieved an email stating the suite was unavailable and they had changed us to another room no other details. And the restaurants were closed. When I emailed back asking for more details the planner called and said they had a wedding the day before and they got precedence. They had made a mistake and I shouldn't have been able to book in the first place. I get it money talks. The wedding brought in a bigger profit. They said they had a room they'd just finished that would be great for us. It Definitely wasn't finished. No mirror, to get ready in my wedding dress, I used my phone. No cold water, the regulator didn't work so you we scolded, no closet rods, no phone, 4 flights up and you'd have to go back and forth to reception( not that anyone was there to help you anyway) no clock, no fridge, no garbage can, it seemed it had just been finished but no one had finished the punch list to make it suitable for guests. We were an after thought. No one told us anything no one knew anything. We couldnt do archery or falconry but other guests could. We were told the new owner is trying to make this a 5 star hotel. My advice. Replace the MIA event planner and reception staff. Keep the chef, (great food) keep Kim and Shawn excellent customer service skills.

We arrived at 1 as we planned with the staff. We were given a room at 4:30 at the top of 6 flights of stairs with a telephone that didn’t work to call the desk. The room had no air but radiated heat, so it was uncomfortable at night. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. They actually carrier our luggage up those 6 flights of stairs. We couldn’t ask for nicer people. The couch in the room was extremely low quality and the only thing to set on if you wanted to watched the television that could not be watched from beds. The towel warmer didn’t work and beware of children taking a shower. I honestly believe someone could be seriously burn themselves in the shower.

Gorgeous castle close to Edinburgh! So far the main areas are renovated and they are stunning. The aesthetic blends castle feel (gold mirrors, beautiful wooden buttresses, textured wallpaper) with fabulous modern touches (lighting and tiling). We stayed in suite 27 and it had luxurious touches throughout (copper bathtub, double headed shower, new tiling, beautiful new bed) mixed with remnants of the castle feel (tapestry headboard and ancient well (secured) . The bar was classy and had a wide array of wine and full bar on display. The dining room was gorgeous and we had a phenomenal dinner and breakfast. The library is a great spot to read and has a hidden whiskey room. Ask for the castle tour! So glad we stayed here!

Went to the bar and never got any service. My wife had to go ask for a menu and she was directed to the table. After getting the menus, it took over 45 minutes before anybody ever even came over to ask us if we wanted something to drink. At that point it was too close to dinner and way too late. Internet connection was awful most of the location was under renovation and unacceptable. Spa had nobody attending it to make any kind of reservation. Fortunately, we got an upgrade as we were scheduled to be placed in the loft which is away from the castle.

The above noted the seven course meal was absolutely phenomenal very romantic, and the service was great

Amazing opportunity to stay in a real castle with such a rich history. The staff, especially Jon, were outstanding. Everyone was so accommodating. It seems like they have been making constant improvements to the property. The spa closes early (6p) and several amenities in the spa were out of order. Be aware that the archery and falconry, although on the property, are run by a separate company, closes at 5p, and requires a reservation. The remote location is beautiful and quiet, but be aware that getting a rideshare car is nearly impossible. The taxi company they use is very reasonable, but getting back to Dalhousie from Rosslyn Chapel was nearly $50 (I think due to the remote location). Great event for small parties/weddings. The dungeon dinner was fantastic, but be aware there is only one option (chef’s 7-course) that was $125 per person with no separate option for kids (more expansive, cheaper options at the other on-site restaurant, the Orangery). The complimentary breakfast was also delicious, made to order + continental. If we ever come back to Scotland, I’d come again despite checking staying in a castle off my bucket list.

My husband wanted to sleep in a castle, well he did!

Given the age (over 800 years), it is well maintained. The castle itself and the grounds are just beautiful. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Things to keep in mind:
- it's about 35 minutes from downtown Edinburgh, you can Uber to get to the hotel but have to take a taxi (which cost more) to leave the hotel.
- the toilets don't have a very strong flush (lol).
- wifi is not good, so make sure you have a good roaming plan; download some movies to watch in the evenings. OR for those that drink, there is a lovely bar and a beautiful library for the book lovers.
- I enjoyed their meals but the portions are small.

If you want to experience sleeping in a castle, I highly recommend Dalhousie! It was a lovely stay.

Scary experience

We arrived at 11pm and were told we booked a room in Castle Rock not the main Castle. Finding Castle Rock in the dark with no signs or street lights was a nightmare. When we managed to find Castle Rock, it looked like a deserted house from a horror movie. Pitch black with no lights on anywhere. We eventually came back to the main castle and decided to upgrade to stay in the Castle, there was no one at the front desk, we used the walkie-talkie at the front desk, still nothing. After almost 15mins, someone came to the front desk.

It’s one of the worst experiences had.

Disappointing Overall Experience

The castle is a stunning building from the outside. Once inside, however, you are in a very tired environment. The hotel is in desperate need of some investment/renovation. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. Some of the service was first class while the majority was sub-par. No value for money.

The hotel advertised itself as pet friendly. When we arrived with our dog they told us we would have to stay in the lodge , not the room in the castle I had originally reserved,because they didn’t allow dogs in the castle. Then they gave us an inferior room up 2 flights of stairs that I had to climb with my bad knees. I was extremely disappointed.

Disappointed

We were really disappointed considering the price.
There was not even hand lotion in the bathroom. If you had a bath, you have to stand up to reach the soap, shampoo dispenser.
We had dinner in the dungeon which is expensive. The waiter that initially served us just about dumped everything on the table. The waitress that brought our food was sniffing continuously in your ear whilst dressing the food. We ordered 3 of the same meal. One had so much sauce the food looked like it was in soup. My husbands had quite a lot of sauce and mine had hardly any. We had to ask them to bring some sauce for my husband and I.

We are 2 couples who chose this beautiful castle hotel, equidistant between our homes, for 1 night to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversaries.
First impression was favourable, then we were led to our rooms. So disappointed with the basement location &
tired decor. Dungeon dining experience wasnt what we expected having seen different options on the hotel website just 2 nights before arriving. Food was tasty, but scant.
Breakfast was very disorganised. Cold plates for self service cooked food which had ran out & took a while to be replenished. No glasses for fruitjuice. Cafetiere of dreadful bitter decaf coffee & weak tea from a flask were served. Staff training/customer service requires addressing.

This property was unique in that it is a castle outside of the city. It was an adventure to stay in an actual castle that once belonged to the Ramsay’s - our ancestors.

We were thrilled be allocated room 4 in the large turret of the castle. A red four postered bed themed room with all the glory of days gone by. The bathroom was located down a narrow hallway near the door to the room and that made for some fun too! It felt really special! The ghost of Lady Catherine sadly didn't visit us and we slept like babies. Dinner in the dungeon was sensational and drinks before and after in the lounge rounded off the night. Brekkie was fab and the staff were super helpful from go to woah! Now that's a castle stay!

Absolutely beautiful. It’s a REAL castle with lots of history. The rooms are beautiful. The bathroom is amazing. The bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

An impressive castle building which makes use of many different rooms. Feels like you are able to explore inside and out. Twin castle bedroom was very disappointing though with damaged / stained furniture. Bathroom had serious issues - broken shower head, blocked drain and seized hot water tap. Nowhere near the standard expected for the price paid. Food and some staff ok, lacking the refinement and quality for a 4* rating (or 5* as the board at the entrance claims!)

It was nice. Our room didnt have a castle feel because it was drywall and tiles, but the grounds were lovely, The food was great and most the staff were lovely.

It also had a nice little spa that was complimentary.

We had a view of the dumpsters which would have been nice if they covered it up, but its out in the country which is nice.

If you dont like stairs, maybe not the best place for you.

If youre looking for a nice getaway, its a cute little place. If you want to feel like youre sleeping in a castle, might not be the best place.

Couldn’t ask for more. Superb stay

Service was excellent from the receptionist. The food and drinks were superb. We stayed in a castle superior four poster room and it was everything we wanted in a stay at a castle. We will be back!

The castle itself is fantastic, and our room was brilliant. Unfortunately we were left disappointed though as it was booked as a birthday present, mostly for the Spa, which was mostly closed off. Plus in the morning it was closed all together due to work being done. We weren’t told about this prior to booking, and no offer of refund was offered.

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!

Lovely stay, great for couples

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.

A let down

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.
