    Unique, sincere and warm welcome that enhanced our stay from the very moment we arrived. Patrick and Cecelia certainly made our stay offering a brand of generous hospitality befitting a small Scottish castle.

    Loved everything, so nothing not to like.

    Patrick the host and his wife Cecilia were incredible. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. We received a very warm welcome, a history of the castle and help with the bags. The accommodation is fantastic. A wonderful, spacious bedroom, bathroom and the communal dining / seating and bar area. The breakfast in the morning was excellent of very high quality ingredients and locally produced meat products. Patrick and Cecilia provide superb customer service as it should be. A skill and art that is sadly lacking in so many settings. 10/10

    Patrick and Cecelia are lovely hosts. They made us feel right at home. The castle is a 400-year-old structure with all the comforts of home. The breakfast was off-the-chain delicious. We enjoyed staying here for our 48th wedding anniversary. You will not regret staying at the castle!

    Stepping into a castle of several hundred years. Being greeted with the friendliest welcome outside when we parked the car. Being so few rooms the management had time for every single guest. Having a drink together with strangers in the evening, turning out to be a really nice gathering where we got to know each other over a glass. Clean rooms. Everything was thought if, like they themselves came from high quality and knew exactly what to offer. The breakfast was amazing. Local food. Fresh flowers on the table. The atmosphere was to feel and touch. The management was amazing. ❤️

    Absolutely nothing to complain about.

    We were amazed at the decor and Patrick gave us a very warm welcome, including sharing lots of cool’s stories about the castle… Couldn’t believe Henry the 8th stayed in the room next door (some years ago) and we particularly loved the secret passage way from our room to the great hall. Xx

    Nothing…..we loved it all!

    From the moment we arrived at this dreamy 17th century château, our hosts Patrick and Cecilia gave us an extremely warm and friendly welcome. They do a remarkable job of making this château a place of great luxury. There are never any problems for Patrick 🥰. Everything here is luxury, calm and voluptuous. The bedroom and great room are decorated with exquisite, authentic taste. The breakfast is delicious and very copious. In a word, we loved staying at Barcaldine Castle. A timeless place to visit Absolutely

    What a stunning place! The castle was wonderful and cozy, not a museum, but a comfortable place to stay. Really a luxury B&B. The staff was marvellous, especially Patrick, who made our stay at the castle unforgettable. He was so friendly and helpful and had also a great sense of humour. Absolutely the best visit we have ever had! Strong recommendation!

    Patrick was outstanding; he went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and ease. We couldn't be happier about our stay!

    Wifi could be improved, I wouldn’t plan on being able to use it while you're there. However, who needs WIFI when you’re in a Castle in Scotland?

    Absolutely amazing. The most exceptional accommodation, a genuine Castle full of history, antiques and everything is of the highest quality and standard. So grateful for the opportunity to stay in this wonderful place and the Managers , Patrick & Cecelia were amazing and made us feel so special. Everything is impeccable, service, cleanliness, comfortable bedding, beautiful linen and textiles. The breakfast was fabulous, we appreciated the introduction, tour and history briefing upon arrival and truly enjoyed the great hall and indulging in a tipple in the evening at the bar with Patrick. We will always remember our stay here. Magical

    Nothing. This is an amazing place to stay.
