This was our first castle experience so cannot really compare it with anything else. Some aspects reached our expectations whilst others did not. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon when visitors were crowded onto the forecourt and a music presentation was taking place. Getting to our parking space was not easy and entering the castle with cases in tow and... more

My wife and I stayed at Culzean for 2 evenings in early September for a special occasion after she had toured the castle two years ago. The high nightly fees for the Ailsa Suite were not commensurate with the service and facilities provided which were alluded to in websites and brochures. This Scottish National Trust Property does not have a... more

We spent 2 nights in the Ailsa Suite in August 09 and our stay was a truly amazing experience. Everybody can see from the fotos in the web that Culzean is a beautiful castle set on a breathtaking scene (directly at the cliffs). The inside and the wide gardens are as beautiful as the catle itself. (we spent 1.5 days... more

During our stay we had... more

The grounds are just incredible, with wonderful gardens, lush green lawns,... more

We stayed for our anniversary in the Ailsa Suite. We arrived before check in, so we spent the morning exploring the grounds around this castle. The walled garden is spectacular, and if you are adventurous, do the cliff hike and head down to explore the caves. Bring good walking shoes. At check in, we were greeted by our host Michael,... more

Imagine a romantic castle perched on a clifftop with views out over the scottish isles. Throw in total silence except for the gentle noise of the waves lapping on the shore below when you open your window. Add staff that are sooooooooo friendly you want to take them home, stir in some historic atmosphere and you really have a perfect... more
