“Brilliant!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

My husband, my dear friend and I were at Culzean in December for the wedding of friends and what a magical place. Everything was amazing; the decor, the staff, the food, the arrangements...all perfect. We had the most wonderful afternoon an evening. I cant wait to come back! I'm trying to talk my husband into booking the Eisenhwer suite for our anniversary.
Thank you for a wonderful time!!!

“Winter wedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

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. Billy and Eileen couldn't do enough for us. Coffee and tea was supplied as and when we wanted it and nothing was ever too much trouble. All done with a sincere smile and a genuine desire to keep us happy.
We stayed in the Eisenhower Suite which is absolutely stunning. The rooms are spacious and all retain the easy vintage style and charm of a working castle.
I had a private dinner the night before the wedding and the food was fabulous. The service was just right allowing time for relaxed conversation.
The breakfast was also excellent with food cooked to order.
We would recommend Culzean to anyone looking for a wedding venue. She is set in amazing grounds and regardless of the weather retains a unique beauty that is timeless.

“Sublimely elegant with old fashioned values and the most attentive staff you could ask for.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011 via mobile

We were guests at the previously mentioned wedding and I do not recognise the description of this beautiful castle. It was an honour to stay in the Eisenhower apartments and to be part of it's history. The guest rooms are classical and comfortable - the only suite - which our bride and groom had - was stunning with a very quirky loo in the turret! We had free run of the whole top floor of the working castle - a lounge with so much history it was unbelievable and a comfortable tv room. An honesty bar made the whole place feel like home from home. The food was delicious and you could have exactly what you wanted - varying anything that was on the menu - and seconds on request. Everything was freshly cooked so you did have to wait - but with good company we didn't notice it. The bride and I had a private dinner the night before the wedding and it was worthy of any top class London restaurant, possibly better. But by far and away the thing which made the whole weekend a home away from home was Billy and Eileen. I will not insult them by calling them staff, they were friends. Nothing was too much bother and they managed to make us feel very special and important. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here if you want a magical experience and excellent service as it should be. Thank you, my friends.

“Magical!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

Recently my partner & I stayed at the magical Culzean Castle. The setting was so romantic. It would definitely make a wonderful wedding venue or romantic getaway.

With fantastic communication from the outset our stay was perfect. Our room was very luxurious & kept in theme with the history of the castle! We enjoyed many walks around the grounds.
The food was superb, a real fine dining experience for dinner and a wonderful Scottish breakfast!
The staff were always on hand and were happy to help and we really enjoyed listening to the stories about the Castle & the history it held.

We really cannot wait to visit again. A stay at Culzean definitely should be on everyones bucket list.

“Disappointing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

I stayed at the castle for my sons wedding. The wedding was in the Eisenhower wing and there seemed to be a shortage of chairs to sit on, lots of antique roped off chairs but non for actual use which is hard with a long day such as a wedding. We stayed in the Cairncross suite which is a double room and NOT a suite. The view was only visable through small round windows if you climbed on something and the window in the bedroom was painted shut. The furniture was very tired and shabby, the bathroom very small, in desperate need of refurbishment and the shower a trickle, very poor. No tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms. The breakfast was awful,slow service, one rasher of bacon and an inedible sausage with cold toast, uck. Overall not an experience I would repeat or recommend to my worst enemy. Extremely expensive for very little facilities a RIP OFF
