    tasteful furnishings
    beautifully decorated room
    charming ambiance
    long wait times
    poor service response

    The decor of the Junior Suite was beautifully done, making us feel right at home. Although we faced long wait times for check-in and needed assistance, the overall experience was pleasant. The furnishings were tasteful, adding to the charm of our short stay. It’s a stunning place, but the service could use some improvement.

    A fairytale stay in a stunning castle

    Wow, what an experience! The staff here were so friendly, especially Ben who made everything special for us. Our room had breathtaking views and we loved the in-room breakfast. The only bummer was the weather, which didn’t let us enjoy the gardens fully. But seriously, if you want a magical getaway, this place is it!

    Magical stay with incredible service

    Just spent 2 nights in an amazing castle! The staff were super attentive, especially Paul who checked in on us. The grounds were stunning, and the in-room breakfast was delicious. Just a tad too far from other attractions, but totally worth it for the peaceful vibe. Can't recommend enough if you’re looking for a getaway!

    vast estate
    cozy library
    delicious meals
    frustrating service

    Had a brilliant getaway with friends! The estate is vast, with lovely walks and an amazing library for cozy evenings. We enjoyed afternoon tea in the teashop and delicious meals. Definitely take advantage of the all-weather tennis court. Just note, the bathroom needs a little updating. Can't wait to go back!

    We had a mix-up with breakfast times one morning, and it was a bit frustrating waiting for service after following the schedule. Just make sure to double-check timings.

    beautiful grounds
    welcoming staff
    delicious food
    slow service
    shower issue

    glenapp castle is a real fairy tale place, the grounds are huge and so well kept, loved walking around the gardens. the staff was super welcoming and attentive, it really felt special. our room was spacious and cozy, and the sea view was just breathtaking. the food was delish and pretty fancy too, every meal felt like a treat.

    however, we had a couple of hiccups, like waiting too long for room service and our shower didn't work properly. felt a bit let down with the service sometimes.

    staff interaction

    This place was a well-suited match for a hurried visit in Ballantrae and offered good value. The staff were clearly overwhelmed, which made for a somewhat frustrating interaction at the gates. For anyone heading there, it's best to check availability before arriving for meals.

    stunning grounds
    delicious dishes
    long wait
    insufficient glassware
    minor oversights

    The location is breathtaking, with stunning grounds perfect for a leisurely stroll. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious dishes, although I expected more from the service given the castle's reputation. Arriving was somewhat disappointing. a long wait to check in left a less-than-ideal first impression. Our suite was comfortable but had minor oversights, like insufficient glassware and the lack of proper welcome amenities for our daughter. These small details undermined an otherwise beautiful setting, making the overall experience less memorable than anticipated.

    The staff went above and beyond to ensure our daughter was comfortable, even preparing her favorite meals. The six-course dinner was a culinary highlight, and the early morning tea made our stay feel truly special.

    my stay in ballantrae was an absolute delight! the castle's enchanting atmosphere and the attention to detail from the staff really exceeded my expectations over the couple of nights. i especially loved the beautifully decorated garden view suite and the extraordinary dining experiences with delicious local dishes.

    fantastic breakfast
    relaxing massage
    beautiful grounds
    missing mini bar

    We had an unforgettable stay, enjoying a fantastic breakfast each morning and relaxing with a lovely massage in the spa. The garden area was a nice retreat, and we loved strolling through the beautiful grounds. Just a minor note, there wasn’t a mini bar in the room, but that didn’t take away from the wonderful experience! 🌟
