My wife and I enjoyed a night at Inverlochy Castle and left pleased but with a feeling that it could have been much better with a little more focus on the details and some basic updates. The location, building and grounds are stunning and while we arrived during some inclement weather and didn't get to enjoy the outdoors much, it was obvious the opportunities that existed to enjoy the grounds and nature. The interior, particularly the central grand common area is also stunning in scale, elegance and style. Our room was grand however this is where some updates would help for example the bedspread was something from a decade past. Some of the other common areas were a bit of a letdown, notably the billiards room was clearly not a priority - it included an out-of-place shelf of DVDs (not sure where I would watch one), promotional materials for a firearms manufacturer, and a dining table with far too many chairs clustered around it. It took a room that could have been a nice place for evening drinks into a place that nobody uses. Finally, I will note that the staff was great however a bit stretched thin, with individuals doubling as bar tender, waiter, and front-desk leading to times when things like checking out required a wait.
