Easy parking, well stocked bar. Smallish room. Clean and tidy though. Building was a bit cold .No fires on .Heating on but outside temp very low. We were in the very top of the building & the shower on Sunday was cold. Food really good but served onto cold plates at breakfast ( my own pet hate) Ate in the Bistro at night,Lovely food & great service.Friendly , helpful staff.

Staff was very helpful and great. The room and bathroom was dated and dusty. Furniture within the room was dated, cleaning was not great but room was big. This is not your 5 star hotel, I could give 3 star. If you’re planning to dine there, there is at least 10% service charge and portions aren’t that big but food has very good quality. Will I stay there again? I might go if price is reasonable.

A delightful night away in wonderful surroundings. Amazing greeting on arrival, great room, food at restaurant was delicious and waiting staff were great. Good range of food and drink for breakfast, and looking out into the grounds as daylight broke made the experience even better. Wandering in the grounds in the morning was so peaceful and a fantastic way to finish off our stay. Highly recommend.

The 300 numbered rooms are a bit dated and due to the age of the building water doesnt work well in the showers, could be doing with a good lick of paint in that part of the building area on level 3, 300 rooms. The food in the was amazing, wish they cooked breakfast fresh for their guests instead of buffet.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I was really disappointed by our stay given the amount we paid for our classic room. The room itself was much smaller than the classic room shown in the photographs, and whilst the bed itself was comfortable, the room barely had space to open up a suitcase and be able to comfortably move around. The bathroom was again small, the shower didn’t really get that warm and there was mould in the grouting. We ordered room service which took about an hour and a half to arrive, and one side dish was missing. In the morning there was one lady having to run the entire breakfast service, she was constantly busy and so I do not fault her at all but unfortunately the food was luke warm at best and lots of items were not restocked. It was a real shame as I felt that the building itself had so much character but there were too many issues to make it worth the money paid.

My husband and I were extremely disappointed by our stay at Carberry Tower. It is a shame that the stewards have not maintained or upgraded this historical and iconic castle. The pictures on their website do not even touch the disrepair. Old and stained carpets, chipped and banged up wood moldings everywhere. Outdated furnishings, and there is almost this eerie feel to the whole castle as you walk around. The floor creeks on every floor. The breakfast was horrid, simple table with a cloth serving basics like cereal and small plates of mini pastries. No one was there to greet us at breakfast and it felt like a small cafeteria. Think kitchen in Downtown Abbey. I can’t even believe the outstanding reviews of this place. We were looking forward to staying here, but it left us disappointed. We had so many wonderful places we stayed from Isle to Skye, Edinburgh, Pitlochry, that were way beyond what this hotel offered. The stewards need to rethink if they are truly doing the best in tourism and hospitality and pass this real estate property on to someone who really knows their stuff taking care of the property and sharing that joy with others. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending this location as a place to stay when in Scotland which is such a shame.

I love this place. Business travel is rarely a treat but I go over budget to stay here. A historical stay in beautiful grounds.
