We visited Venlaw castle in September 2011 and were very disappointed. The road to the castle is an old dirt-track and not very well signposted to be honest. On arrival, the staff were friendly but when we got to our room, I felt like crying! It was so dated and old, not in a nice way either!! Given the price... More

Just reopened and what a friendly welcome from the new owners. Library bar very cosy, setting spectacular in lovely historic building/ More

Hubby and I went here for our 19th wedding anniversary in April and just hit the first of the warm sunny weather after a very long cold and snowy winter. This just added to the delight of Castle Venlaw with it's delightful gardens and fairy tale turrets. Lovely room with four poster bed, champagne , flowers and chocolates...... Hubby really... More

We first stayed at this hotel just over 2 years ago when we got married in Peebles. This time I had a Groupon voucher and my husband and I booked a one night stay for Sunday 16th.

I have just returned as part of a wedding party who stayed at Castle Venlaw Friday through Sunday, and where I must say I was massively impressed.

We had the most perfect... More

Which was a lovely surprise. Thank u! Room was very spacious. Double bath with separate double shower. Views were breath taking from each... More

We booked into Venlaw Castle for 3 nights as part of a 5 week UK holiday and found it to be less than satisfactory which was very upsetting considering we were so looking forward to staying at the hotel listed on the Web. The pictures on line are out dated like the furnitue and fittings in the hotel, we were... More

We had planned a very special but low key wedding for just the family. We started the process Jan 11 & had several discussions / communications leading upto the wedding in Aug including a deposit. In summary when we arrived the receptionist / the venue knew nothing of our wedding. I asked the receptionist to speak with our "Wedding Planner"... More
