Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at the Castle, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the castle's historic charm and stunning surroundings.
Accommodation: The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, combining classic elegance with modern comfort. Each room offered breathtaking views of the estate, making our mornings truly special. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights for all of us.
Amenities: The castle is well-equipped with amenities that cater to us all. We especially loved the sauna and the wood fired hot tub, as well as just sitting out and enjoying the views of the grounds.
Service: The owners were exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. From ensuring we had all we needed to providing history of this amazing place.
Dining: The dining experience was another highlight of our stay. Going back in time with the ancient stove and enjoying the historical kitchen amenities and dining room was nothing short of glorious..
Simply cannot say enough about this wonderful place. We will be back in the future for another stay.

We loved everything about this property. Staying in a castle in a Scotland was EPIC! From the warm welcome with a castle tour and exploring the grounds it was like stepping back in time. The property was the perfect place for the 12 of us to enjoy relaxing on the patio enjoying the garden views and the castle had many rooms to enjoy with a large group for visiting. There is also a vast number of rooms to choose from with spacious rooms and plenty of privacy as well. The castle is in a great location for home base as we went on many excursions to the coast and to many castles nearby. The grocery and fish market are close so we were able to cook some meals together and there are several restaurants within 10 minutes. We would definately highly recommend and we hope to return someday.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Colliston Castle! The grounds are lovely, the castle is stunning, and John and Sue are fantastic hosts! We definitely recommend a stay at Colliston Castle, especially for large groups looking for space to roam, relax, and connect with nature and history.

Booked as a suprise 40th birthday family gathering. Loved that all sixteen of us could fit in the dining room for the birthday dinner. Kitchen well equipped and spacious as were the bedrooms. Dog friendly too which is great! Hosts were brilliant. Highly recommended.

Our family group had a wonderful stay at Colliston Castle. The accommodations were beautiful, each and every room so pretty and cozy, despite the castle's size, and the hosts (John and Sue) couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They were kind enough to allow us an early check-in and greet our first arrivals with delicious cake and coffee. They also looked in on us periodically to make sure we had everything we needed. The castle is perfectly located near the quaint seaside town of Arbroath, a short drive to the grocery, and not far from other interesting locales. We took a day trip to Loch Ness (marvelous boat tour!) and Inverness, with some of our crew visiting St. Andrew's, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Stirling, and a nearby whiskey distillery. All of us did the Arbroath cliff walk--breathtaking! WiFi worked great in the kitchen and breakfast areas, where we mostly used it, and the showers ran nice and hot. Not a spec of dust in the vast place and the grounds were absolutely lovely. We came from North Carolina, Virginia, and New York USA, and had a fantastic family reunion--our first since COVID. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Watch out for the pheasants driving in. :)

The space is excellent for 16+, inside and out. Superbly arranged bathrooms and a real adventure feel with generously equipped kitchen as well as crockery for special occasions. All levels are relatively easily accessible even for people with mobility problems. Whereas the adults enjoyed the walks around the castle, our children (2-10) enjoyed the well attended gardens and lawns with football goals and toys/footballs. Host John was extremely helpful and generous with wood fuel, information and any sort of help. I cannot fault anything in our stay except it was too short.

Colliston Castle was just perfect for our family holiday. Loads of room inside and out. Charming, comfortable and surprisingly cosy. AGA was great for warming croissants and pastries for breakfast. The hot tub and sauna were both used well. We've rebooked and looking forward to next year already

A castle that keeps on giving.........
A unique venue. Fabulous amenities and accommodation. Just right for our group celebrating a 50th birthday. John and Sue have a fantastic castle. The owners are a joy to deal with. The castle is steeped in history and gives an almost magical impression, set in stunning grounds - what is not to like? It is larger than life and does not disappoint. My advice? - just book it!
