This was the best castle option we stayed in ! It was beautiful & quiet for nice walks around the property ;) we had to go to the inn fine the road to eat bc we didn’t want the fine dining option after a day of travel and wished they had a golf cart transport as it was a bit far when we walked for us older ladies :/ but the factor inn food was very good :) the staff at the castle were very helpful and delightful ; it was nice to have someone to carry our bags up the stairs !the breakfast was also exquisite!! Best if the trip !

Spectacular stay. The castle is such a unique experience as a hotel and we loved every minute. The property is beautiful and the service was five star. The only negative was a giant beehive outside our room which prevented us from opening the window. A couple bees also made it inside our room but we were able to “guide” them back out with a small towel. Fortunately neither of us are allergic but my wife was not happy. However this didn’t ruin our stay and we would absolutely return and recommend to anyone. Definitely pricey but we found it worth it.

Pets have a place in society but not at a hotel. Their urine smell unfortunately is almost impossible to get rid of and I believe this is the case at inverlochy.

We had a memorable stay in Inverlochy Castle Hotel an experience which more than matched our expectations. Minor niggles were quickly resolved and in no way detracted from our enjoyment. We especially enjoyed walking in the grounds (November weather permitting) and the five course dinner in Seasgair was worth every penny, a fitting climax to our special occasion. Our suite was luxurious and retained the character of a well cared for former grand mansion. Staff were welcoming, obliging and engaging.
