8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
My friend and I stayed at the Ardoe house for one night. We booked an Executive double, King bed and stayed on a Thursday night in June. The hotel overall was pretty quite, the outside grounds were beautiful. Our bed was very firm, but also expected anywhere outside of the US. We made a table reservation at the restaurant, and were the only ones there. Food was ok, if you have the means to get back into town there are likely better options. Hotel guests get access to some of the spa amentities, the dry sauna was great and hot! The steam sauna wasn't very warm and smelled a bit funky. The hot tub and pool were pretty much the same temperature, not nearly as relaxing as I thought it would be. The evening receptionist was not very pleasant, argued with me about prepaying for the room and charged my card the full room fee. Fortunately the daytime staff, who were much more friendly, caught the error and happily issued a refund for the extra charge. Our bartender, Ola, was such a delight, definitely pop in and have a cocktail. I would recommend Ardoe House to someone looking for an affordable castle stay, but I personally would not go back.
