We'd booked the Cairncross Suite (one of the Eisenhower apartments) on the top floor of the Castle Tower. However, on arrival, and as we were the only guests, we were offered our choice of the apartments, so we selected the Gault Suite which had an absolute ocean front view. Superb ! The room was spacious with an excellent bathroom, a... More

I've been visiting Culzean Castle since I was very young and have many fond memories of times spent with family and friends in the castle grounds. So I was very excited about the opportinity to stay in the Eisenhower appartment in the Castle. I was not disappointed. Culzean Castle is in an extraordinary setting on the Ayrshire coast. On top...

I grew up not very far from here and have been to Culzean dozens of times. My wife and I got engaged by the Swan Pond. So it was a special treat to stay in the Eisenhower Apartments. We stayed three nights and thoroughly enjoyed watching the crowds gradually ebb away and then watch the sun setting across the Firth.... More

We have experienced few places where universally every staff member was as friendly and as proud of being part of their establishment as the staff at Culzean. The stage was set when we drove up the the castle and saw a rainbow and at the end of the rainbow was a shark fin gliding through the waves. We only stayed... More

Definitely a unique experience but boy, it does come at a price. First class attention from the excellent staff although I did find their tendency to pop in your room while you were out rather disconcerting. The rooms are well presented, clean and comfy with interesting antique fittings but some do not come with quite the view you may imagine,... More

We were recommended to stay at the Castle by friends who had previously been there. What a wonderful experience! From the high tea presented on arrival, pre dinner drinks, dinner, post dinner drinks and breakfast, wonderful service and a comfortable room. We were fortunate also to have some terrific company of other travellers on our visit and we had a... More

Our daughter and her fiance came from France to be married at Culzean Castle in September. We cannot begin to tell you just how delighted we were with the sheer professionalism shown by all the staff right from first contacting the castle until the final review of the wedding. The Round room made a very romantic setting for the ceremony,... More

Unbelievable accomodation in the Eisenhower suite. We went late September and literally had the place to ourselves. Despite the lack of other travelers, the service was superb...we had full kitchen and wait staff for breakfast and a dinner we had arranged for beforehand...dinner for two with our own staff, appetizers in the drawing room and fine dining in the dining...

We got married at Culzean on 16th December. It was a truly magical day in what can only be described as a fairy tale setting. Firstly we'd like to say how wonderful the staff were.
