Staying at the castle was a luxurious experience with spacious rooms embodying the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern amenities. The service was kind and accommodating, though it seemed the staff might benefit from more training. The location was excellent for exploring the surrounding areas, and the dining offered substantial and delicious meals.

My stay at this castle hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room, though initially not as advertised, ended up being spacious and comfortable after I was moved. The service, despite a cool reception at check-in, was exceptional overall. The location, right next to the historic dungeon, offered a unique experience, though the lack of a decent view was disappointing. The dining was good but slightly overpriced. Overall, the value was decent for a castle stay.

The suite I stayed in was enormous and surprisingly airy despite its size. It was clean and well-furnished although a bit dated. The service was exceptional, especially with accommodating my children's food allergies and the friendly barman Rodney, a castle historian. On the downside, some staff seemed disengaged, merely talking without much interaction. The location was a bit out of sync with the rest of the hotel, situated in a residential area that lacked atmosphere. However, being locked off for safety made access somewhat challenging. Dining was satisfactory but lacked vegetarian options and portion sizes were somewhat meager at times. Overall, a mixed experience with highs and lows.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good experiences. The rooms were spacious and offered a peaceful view of the trees, creating a quiet and calming atmosphere, but the service was lacking and slow, making it frustrating at times. The location was great, surrounded by beautiful scenery and close to Inverness, yet some parts of the castle needed repairs. The dining options were okay but lacked variety for vegetarians. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

Staying at the haunted castle was an unforgettable experience. The rooms had a perfect haunted feel to them, although located at the top of many stairs. The service was excellent with a private balcony and top-class amenities, but some staff were a bit unapproachable. The location offered a mix of history and untidiness, close to Inverness but cluttered in parts. The dining was okay, with a buffet service, although some items were not up to standard. Overall, a unique stay with its ups and downs.

The hotel is in a lovely location close to Inverness and other charming towns with warm and helpful staff. The rooms, although lovely, appeared dusty through a staff door but were above the boilers. The service was attentive and accommodating, especially in the Bayne Room which was fabulous. Dining had a good selection but lacked meat alternatives for vegetarians. Overall, a good value for money stay with some areas needing improvement.

Staying at the castle for £300 a night was a unique experience. The rooms, although limited to four-poster bed rooms, were spacious, well-heated, and had a particularly good shower. The service from the receptionist with brown hair and glasses was exceptional, making the stay pleasant. The location, while beautiful, could have had better views and access. The dining experience in the atmospheric dining room was excellent, offering everything one could need. Overall, a good value stay with some minor drawbacks.
