Lovely Room in a Gorgeous Hotel

We had a great stay at Cornhill Castle. Alice at reception welcomed us and let us know she would be available for any further assistance if required. I did ask if the heating could be turned up in our room as it was particularly cold. This was dealt with immediately by offering us another room or a mini electric radiator. We opted for the latter. The Dining room and bar area were also both cold so I'm not sure if there had been a problem with the heating system. It didn't spoil our stay though.

Nice …. But hard to sleep

They checked us in to someone else’s room with their luggage sitting there. Bed was super noisy you could barely breathe too deeply or it would be squeezing very loudly. Heating has no controls in room so woke up in middle of night like we were sleeping in an oven. Room and hotel itself were lovely but pity after spending £200 for a single night to barely manage any sleep.

Smashing hotel

Beautiful hotel, not a castle but a very big house built in the Scottish Baronial style. Staff were very friendly. Our room was immaculate and a very pleasant place to be. We had a good evening meal and an excellent breakfast. All told, we had a marvellous stay at a lovely hotel, which was also outstanding value for money.

It was amazing to sleep in a castle. We tryed to book dinner in advance but we were told the restaurant was closed. When we came to check inn they asked us if we wanted to eat in the restaurant we told them we tryed to book but that they told us it was closed. The thing is you can only eat at the restaurant if you are staying for the night. We had a delicious dinner with a lovely host. The bed was comfortable but the door in the coridor has squeeky hinges so every time someone opend that door we heard it. We were missing a tv remote but git another one real quick. The shower was lovely, you just need to put a towel down on the end otherwise the whole bathroom will get wet. The breakfast was okay. Some delicious options but they didnt fill the table so everytime you wanted something that wasnt on the table you had to ask. Quick check out and again very friendly staff.

Nice but could be alot better.

Newly tastfully decorated, staff friendly and attentive. Standard of food was on a par with pub grub, so not for foodies, also the dining room windows needed a wipe down due to dead insects. Wardrobe in room almost useless for hanging clothes full of other items . Better provision for hanging your cloths is needed, the wardrobe was small and was used to store a fridge, safe, hairdryer and ironing board. In short a potentially very nice hotel let down by attention to details.

Lovely place but rock hard eggs

Welcoming staff and lovely building. Dinner was great but the breakfast was poor and I couldn't eat it. Never seen poached so hard, mattress on the bed was pretty 'used' with a big dip in it so not the most comfortable for the money. They also charged my card for 50% of my booking 2 days before our stay without permission and the balance on the arrival day rather than 'pay at property' which was how the booking was made. I then had to chase up the invoices.

Great stay

Overall our stay was great. Was attending a wedding at Cornhill Castle everything was great apart from slight delay in getting our room as Bride was using it to get ready so wasn't too bothered. Room was huge, with both bathroom and separate shower room. Very comfortable.
