康希爾城堡飯店

I booked a lodge for my husbands birthday and I am so pleased we did. The lodge was just beautiful, it was small but I expected that based on the pictures. It was warm and very comfortable with a good sized living area and bathroom, yes the bedroom was small but it made it cosy. The bed was very comfy and is classed as a zip link bed. We used the hot tub and enjoyed the beautiful views. The bar is decorated nicely and the open fire was very welcome. The only issue was the wedding guests holding the door open for no reason and letting the heat out and the noise in (not the fault of the hotel). It was nice to see that the hotel bar was reserved for the restaurant and hotel guests and the wedding guests directed to the bar in the other area. Staff were very nice and attentive. My only issue was that the music from the wedding was so loud you could hear it from the lodge and it slightly spoilt the quiet/relaxing atmosphere of the lodge surroundings especially as lodge guests were asked to be out of their hot tub by 10pm for noise levels. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch and allowed us to enjoy a continental breakfast at our leisure. The roll and croissant were warm and fresh. We can't wait to book again for a romantic treat.

We had a wonderful stay at cornhill castle; Staff were very welcoming on arrival & we got a lovely room with a jacuzzi bath which was part of a large bespoke bathroom.Bedroom was large with king-size brass bed & table and chairs in window alcove.this is stunning location.on very large grounds and with excellent staff and facilities it's a very easy 5/5 choice

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.
