I have just returned from facilitating a 3 day teambuilding a strategy event for our business. The experience we have had at Ackergill has been truely outstanding. The venue is amazing and provides the perfect place for both team activities and relaxed environments for groups to work in (comfy chairs and fire side chats). Moreove the service from the team at Ackergill is fantastic they manage to combine the home from home atmosphere and friendliness with absolute professionalism, flexibility and speed you need for a business team making decisions. I cannot rate them highly enough.

We held our wedding at Ackergill Tower in May this year. Ackergill Tower has a stunning location on the North Sea at practically the most Northeasterly tip of mainland Scotland. We have been totally blown away by the most amazing weekend we have ever had. It was well worth the
schlep!

The entire team at Ackergill could not do more to make everyone feel totally pampered and completely relaxed.

The food is incredible – the chef, Kevin, uses the best ingredients, all of which are sourced locally, to produce the most delicious meals. The local fish, meat and vegetables are phenomenally good – guests were having discussions about rocket salad – it was really that good! And then there was afternoon tea with all their wonderful home baking -- the cakes are great!

And to top it off, they did a mean barbeque up in the “Bothie” on our Sunday night (it’s like a shack in the middle of no where beside a loch – oozes atmosphere). This was just fabulous – incredible grilled langoustine, the most amazing crab cakes (we don’t like crab cakes, but we loved these), homemade chili sausages… wow!! Oh, and margueritas and whisky galore!

They also organized activities for guests, from shooting to RIB rides to see puffins (Rigid Inflatable Boat!), providing all the gear for all the guests – Barbour jackets, wellies, sweaters, the works! Ackergill do not forget a thing, it is quite remarkable.

They were equally fantastic with children as well as the adults, providing a host of activities for them too, pony rides, falconry exhibition, as well as hot chocolate tastings!! Nannies were available for parents requiring a bit of time off too – they were just lovely as well and incredibly competent.

The bedrooms are simply awesome. They are all pretty huge, some bigger than others – all with fabulous views over to the beach, the bleaching lawn, or the crashing North Sea. They have been lovingly decorated with personal touches, all with a different feel and all lacking any stuffiness.

Everyone commented continually over the weekend at how amazing the place was, at how kind and accommodating the staff was and finally what a blissful weekend they had. All thanks to the wonderful team at Ackergill Tower, and in particular, John and Arlette Bannister, Jo McCallum, and Lisa Coghill.

As one of eighteen men who celebrated a wedding stag stay at Ackergill Tower I have been asked by all members on the flight back to record our sentiments on the stay.
Most of the Group are international travellers and have many experiences of measuring quality of service, produce and entertainment.
Without exception, what was provided for us was of the very highest standard possible. There was no one who could find one part of the stay that could be improved upon.
The ambiance, the food was of the very highest quality, presented by all members of staff that could not have provided a more traditional and helpul service.
Well done Ackergill Tower it truly was an exceptional experience

A totally unique experience in the UK. A staff and management who are totally dedicated to providing a personalised experience, in a wonderful relaxed environment. The range of activities is great, the rooms are fantastic and all the staff have a smile on their face whenever you meet them. A long weekend that you will never forget. It is not surprising why they have such a high number of repeat guests
