Cornhill Castle

Beautiful location, well thought through lodge with everything you need for a weekend away. Staff were superb; friendly, helpful and efficient. Food in the Ghillie restaurant was fantastic and the afternoon tea we had delivered was lovely. Breakfast hampers were well stocked and fresh.

Spent two nights at the hotel for the wedding of our son and from the moment we arrived the whole party were made to feel like we were part of the Manorview family. Staff couldn't do enough for us and the rooms and lodges were perfect for our needs. Delicious food on the evening before and the wedding itself was more than we could have hoped for. Thanks to all the staff for making it extra special. We have already made plans to return in the summer.

Amazing stay at Cornhill Castle in the Balmoral Suite. The room was incredible and very clean. The staff were very accommodating and the food was great. Fab selection for breakfast. Such a special stay for our anniversary. Will definitely be back!

We stayed in one of the lodges for two nights to attend a family wedding. We chose the lodge over staying in a room in the castle because we fancied a hot tub in the woodland. First impression was “it’s small, beautiful and quaint”. We was so looking forward to a luxurious couple of days considering the cost of this lodge. It’s tiny. The bed (which was two singles pushed together) literally took up the whole of the bedroom. You had to open the door and launch yourself onto the end of the bed and crawl up. You could not walk round the bed. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed we had ever slept in. We mentioned this after the first night and was not offered any exchange of room as the hotel was full. On check out the gentleman who I believe was the manager/owner? Was in reception. He was hugely apologetic and certainly smoothed over our issues by saying he would send us a voucher should we try their castle again in the future. I guess he was just trying to get rid of us because two weeks later we are still waiting for the email he said he would send to us. Not that we would go back there again now anyway! Nespresso machine didn’t work. There was no hot water at times The main (and only) door to the lodge was swollen so extremely difficult to close without slamming this. Also difficult to lock. The breakfast basket is poor to say the least. Cold roll, cold croissant, orange juice, an orange, cornflakes, with milk and some natural yogurt. On a positive note when I rang reception and explained that I didn’t like anything in the basket they laid a table for us in the dinning room where we had a full breakfast, Danish pastries, choose of cereals with strawberries, grapes and blueberries. A far better option so thank you for this it was appreciated but feel that if there was choice in the basket we would not have had to get dressed and go to the hotel. On a positive note the wedding was amazing, food served was hot and delicious. The staff worked so hard they deserve recognition for this. So come on Cornhill Castle, change your beds as we couldn’t have been the only people to stay there to complain. If it wasn’t for two nights of no sleep I probably wouldn’t have complained about the rest. We went from here to Edinburgh for the weekend and when we checked out we were so looking forward to our Premier Inn bed. Where you know what you are getting and they have a sleep policy whereby they refund your room value if you don’t have a good night sleep. Premier Inn didn’t disappoint.

We had afternoon tea , at this lovely hotel . The afternoon tea its self was absolutely delicious , we were given endless supplies of tea and coffee , everything was fresh with very generous portions. The staff were very friendly and professional , we will definitely return

Having stayed at this hotel previously but not had the time to fully appreciate the hotel, we were really looking forward to spending more time this time around. Stayed in an executive room, which was clean and tidy. For me the bed was uncomfortable but ok for my wife. The view for an executive room wasn't good, blocked by a roof. The evening was interrupted by firstly a fire alarm, of which the staff apologised, having been set off accidentally. The main problem was the blazing argument the people had in the next room, between midnight and two, of course not the hotels fault, but caused us a restless night. When we booked we also booked a table at the restaurant, on arrival we were told we would have dinner in the middle room, as a wedding party were in the restaurant, not too much of a problem. When we arrived for dinner we were demoted to the bar, far from suitable as there was both a wedding and pre wedding party using the bar. We asked to be moved, which we were, without any problems, we were moved to the restaurant along with the pre wedding party, again not a issue for us, but we did get a few funny stares from the party. The lady who was the waitress was fully of apologies and lovely as were the people on reception. We were considering the hotel for a special event next year but are now reconsidering.
