Our stay at the 13th century fortress turned hotel was absolutely amazing! The castle exceeded our expectations with its amenities and cozy atmosphere. The grounds were breathtaking, even in the drizzle. We especially enjoyed the luxurious spa and the majestic views. The room in the tower was very comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We loved every minute of our time at Dalhousie Castle and can't wait to return once the spa reopens.
Nothing, all great! 👍
