Barcaldine Castle

fairy tale castle !

Pros: This castle is very intimate, full of history and with an exceptional staff. From the moment we arrived, the hosts looked after us and took time to take us on a visit of the castle, the rooms are very comfy and the breakfast hall is stunning - it is straight out of a fairy tale book.

Fantastic stay

Pros: Fabulous castle and the most welcoming host. Patrick is an absolute marvel. The breakfast was exceptional and nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely loved it.

Wonderful castle restoration with friendly staff

Pros: Very friendly helpful staff, who went out if their way to make sure was a good stay-offered dto take photos before we left, a gesture which we appreciated greatly! Loved the historical introduction and tour on arrival. Very cool to be in a castle. stairway and main area beautiful. Beautifully restored and kept. Very comfy bed and good sleep. Good breakfast. Would highly recommend.

Cons: Bar open 8-10pm so didn't manage to make it back in time for an evening drink after our dinner reservation in nearby restaurant which we would have loved to do so worth bearing in mind or telling future guests so they are aware. Forgot to mention on check out that TV didn't work in aird room-connections failure? WiFi was weaker in top room. Didn't matter to us as only staying one night and enjoyed being in a castle so much! But I'm sure if we had said the staff would have helped.

Superb in all aspects

Pros: Great location Great staff and welcome and fastidious attention to all aspects of this beautiful old castle Superb cooked breakfast-thanks Cecilia and Patrick-of course!!

Cons: Having to leave-haste ye back!

Can’t wait to visit again!

Pros: Unique, sincere and warm welcome that enhanced our stay from the very moment we arrived. Patrick and Cecelia certainly made our stay offering a brand of generous hospitality befitting a small Scottish castle.

Cons: Loved everything, so nothing not to like.

Pros: Patrick the host and his wife Cecilia were incredible. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. We received a very warm welcome, a history of the castle and help with the bags. The accommodation is fantastic. A wonderful, spacious bedroom, bathroom and the communal dining / seating and bar area. The breakfast in the morning was excellent of very high quality ingredients and locally produced meat products. Patrick and Cecilia provide superb customer service as it should be. A skill and art that is sadly lacking in so many settings. 10/10

One of the best stay experiences we have ever had

Pros: It was unique. Comfortable and historically beautiful The hosts Patrick and Cecelia were the best we have ever had to welcome us and make the stay a memorable experience. One of our best in our travels- absolute pleasure

Cons: Nothing to dislike or change

If it’s your first time visiting a castle, other castles you visit will always be second best to this one.

Pros: Stepping into a castle of several hundred years. Being greeted with the friendliest welcome outside when we parked the car. Being so few rooms the management had time for every single guest. Having a drink together with strangers in the evening, turning out to be a really nice gathering where we got to know each other over a glass. Clean rooms. Everything was thought if, like they themselves came from high quality and knew exactly what to offer. The breakfast was amazing. Local food. Fresh flowers on the table. The atmosphere was to feel and touch. The management was amazing. ❤️

Cons: Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Wonderful heartwarming experience in historic building.

Pros: Wonderful sumptuous room, excellent breakfast in grand surroundings. Outstanding staff.

Cons: Nothing!

Unbelievable place to stay, highly recommended.

Pros: Absolute perfection! Exceeded all our exptectations. Immaculately clean, steeped in history. Best bed I have ever slept in! Superb full Scotting breakfast. Patrick and Cecilia were the perfect hosts.
