We absolutely loved our stay & would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area! We got to golf on the hotels course, which had absolutely amazing views. The staff was very friendly, the hotel had a great atmosphere, and our room was perfect to fit a family of four!

A beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting.
We had a wonderful stay at Dalmunzie Castle, Glenshee. Fabulous setting and a beautiful castle. The log fire, Christmas tree and fairy lights made it look very festive and welcoming. The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. Our room was beautiful. It had a four poster bed, beautifully polished furniture in keeping with the castle and two windows giving a wonderful view of the hills. it was very clean, warm and comfortable, good lighting and sockets. The bathroom was very clean, the water nice and hot and there was a shower over the bath, which was perfect for a nice hot soak using the bath salts provided. We had dinner in the restaurant and once again the staff were very attentive, friendly and professional. The menu was excellent and prepared with care. We really enjoyed the salmon which was perfectly cooked. Sadly we had to leave before breakfast but will definitely stay longer next time.

Lovely, warm, friendly staff and big room. Had our evening meal here, it was tasty, it was a little on the expensive side for food but equally we had an enjoyable meal. Loved being able to watch the squirrels and seeing the stars, and stunning views

Pleasant stay in beautiful surroundings
Fabulous surroundings and a warm welcome by the staff. Rooms are stuffed with old furniture in keeping with the theme of the hotel. Dinner is fine but felt a matchbox sized piece of cod was a little tight for the price, but delicious and well cooked all the same. My wife’s salmon was perfectly portioned. The breakfast was outstanding. Only negatives were an early morning fire alarm, colourful language from the kitchen whilst in the lounge and absence of a blind in Murray suite bathroom. I suspect the guest walking the corridor was more embarrassed than me. The computer system had failed on check out but was easily resolved with a phone call later in the day.

Dalmunzie Castle Hotel was conveniently located for us. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Both breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The castle is charming, especially the grounds. You hear the birds and the sheep and nothing else. The hallways with their different carpets have seen better times. I believe the rooms differ slightly from each other as is common in historic houses. We had a Superior Double (Tower Room). The bed was comfy, the view great, both the bedroom and bathroom spacious. The empty shelves and random sink in the bedroom were a little weird though. Overall we had a good time (good food, good sleep and great people).

Smaller than expected. Nice ground.
Nice ground. The building doesn't look as nice as the photo. Seems smaller. The lobby and sitting room is small. The staff are friendly, but they were busy serving dinner when I was there. The room itself is of good size. Nice thick bath towel.

When we arrived we were given our key & told to read our book in the room to figure out the hotel & what it had to offer. I never really knew what areas of the house were available for use & never really felt comfortable or welcomed here. The property is beautiful and picturesque. We enjoyed what the area had to offer. The shower just got water everywhere no matter what we tried, but it was hot & clean. Our remote control didn’t work well at all, but we didn’t come to Scotland to watch tv. That being said, our room was spacious and cozy. I loved our breakfasts, especially the porridge. However, we were told we couldn’t eat at 8am because there was already one table booked. I found that strange that only one table at a time slot was taken. All in all we enjoyed our room, but really never felt welcome.

Could be great- wish it were better...
We interacted with 2 staff- one was pleasant and the other was not particularly helpful and didnt seem service-oriented in her approach. Our room was very tired and a not the cleanest. Breakfast is served at 8/830, which I thought was late for a place that is isolated (no other options within 45 min drive). We needed breakfast at 7/730 and they were not flexible and could not provide a to-go option. Dinner attempted to be imaginative but wasn't well executed (expensive, not great quality).

Wi-Fi is so important these days that it not being very good here was a nuisance Especially as the phones had no signal either. The price for the night was good and the breakfast was pretty good.

Unfortunately our wifi and phone signal is not always brilliant, a small sacrifice we make for the amazing location of the hotel. I am glad that you enjoyed the rest of the hotel facilities.
