If you want to do a castle stay in Scotland, this is the one!!!! We stayed there on a wet, cold terrible night and couldn't have wanted anything more! Liz and Ronnie the managers there made us feel so welcome, amazing room, amazing food, the best place we have stayed in Scotland. We will be back. More

Touring through Scotland, we stayed in a number of "castle" hotels, most of which were built in the Victorian era at the site of an old castle. Not so with the Barcaldine! This 15th/16th century castle is the real deal, one of the castles of "Black Duncan" with an interesting and sordid past. Secret passageways, a dungeon, and markings on... More

We celebrated our marriage here on the 10th April 2012 and could not have chosen a more perfect setting or more convivial hosts. The castle has been sympathetically restored , the rooms are warm, luxurious and spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable and our room had every conceivable extra. Ronnie and Liz could not have been any more welcoming and... More

We visited for 2 nights in June 2011, and our stay could not have been better. Liz and Ronnie were wonderful welcoming hosts who were happy to show us round the castle and tell us it's history. We were served afternoon tea on the day we arrived and got to have a look around the building. Our room was lovely,... More

My first ever night in a castle and not disappointed. Soak up the atmosphere, feel the history- enjoy the comfort! Exceptionally clean, very well presented - definitely one of the best b&b s we stayed in. More

We stayed at Barcaldine Castle in Oct 2011 and we loved every minute of the experience. Having traveled from Australia, this was the first real experience of Scottish hospitality apart form a Glasgow airport Hotel and we were not disappointed. Ronnie and Liz are the perfect hosts - friendly, engaging, willing to take the time to explain this amazing piece... More

I stayed at Barcaldine Castle on 12th August, 2011, with my partner but have only just got to grips with Trip Advisor!

Ronnie & Liz made us feel very welcome, the room was great with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept... More

We spent our honeymoon week at Barcaldine Castle last cold and wet November. We could not have had a lovelier week. Our room was beautiful, warm, cosy and luxurious. Our hosts could not have been more friendly or helpful. Breakfast was hearty and traditional, including porridge with whisky, haggis, or all the usual cooked or continental fayre. The light supper...
