Beautiful well kept castle, comfortable room, great service and delicious food. The breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner were all amazing. The property is wonderful for pictures!
Our stay at Inverlochy Castle was the highlight of our two week London/Scotland trip! The grounds were beautiful, so definitely walk all the paths! The castle had a lovely sitting room for after dinner drinks. The pub down the road was the best meal I had in the two weeks- very fresh vegetables and salad. The salad dressing was delicious! All of the staff was exceptional and really made my daughter feel special during our stay as she was the youngest guest during our stay. I would definitely stay again! We miss it already!
It is an amazing place - beautiful - our suite (queen’s suite) was incredible. The staff are amazing and cannot do enough to make your stay perfect. The food is incredible- highly recommend their amazing dinner service. This our second time staying there and we will come back next year.

Totally authentic old-world ambience, incredible natural scenery at the foot of Ben Nevis and high-quality kitchen. Recommended!
It’s a beautiful place to stay. Since you’re outside the main building, you feel a bit removed from the atmosphere of the house, but overall it was very nice. We noticed that the staff was very structured — friendly, but stressed, and very much focused on “following the rules.” In our opinion, this should be a place to truly relax… and we didn’t really feel that.
We also didn’t like that after 11 p.m. there is no one left in the main house. If you’re having a drink, the staff disappears and you’re completely alone, which gives a sense of insecurity.
The breakfast is very good, and you can easily skip the tasting dinner in the main dining room because the à la carte menu is very varied, complete, and delicious.
The property is beautiful, staff is wonderful, but the best thing by far is the food, restaurant is not just sophisticated but the food is a masterpiece.
We loved our stay at Inverlochy Castle!! It was amazing and the food was delicious definitely book the afternoon tea it was spectacular! Steve went above and beyond to make our stay so special all of the staff are so accommodating and so kind it was fabulous feeling like a queen and king for the night!

Good location, quiet and relaxing, bedroom/ bathroom a bit dated and tired
Beautiful castle in stunning surroundings.
We loved our room in the walled garden with the massive luxurious bathroom.
Staff very friendly. Great Scottish breakfast.
While I can understand other comments about the state of the property, and it could use cleaning and updates in some areas, it really was a great place to stay. The staff were attentive, kind and went out of their way. We stayed in a walled garden room. It was beautiful and the bathroom was huge. All of the food we had was wonderful. Would love to stay again.
This was the best castle option we stayed in ! It was beautiful & quiet for nice walks around the property ;) we had to go to the inn fine the road to eat bc we didn’t want the fine dining option after a day of travel and wished they had a golf cart transport as it was a bit far when we walked for us older ladies :/ but the factor inn food was very good :) the staff at the castle were very helpful and delightful ; it was nice to have someone to carry our bags up the stairs !the breakfast was also exquisite!! Best if the trip !
The castle is stunning and the people who work there are friendly and attentive. They went out of their way to accommodate our children's' food allergies. The room was luxurious and immaculately clean. The staff was very helpful prior to our arrival in helping us plan activities during our stay.
