Kildrummy castle is a beautiful building in beautiful grounds! The staff we encountered were all very friendly and eager to please, however there is just a few wee niggles I feel are letting the place down. Firstly in our room, all but one of the windows had been painted shut so the room got a bit stuffy at times and... More

We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Surroundings are beautiful. The castle hotel is a castle in itself, including of course very classic and dated furniture. The room was likewise, dont expect the newest bathrooms. Do go for the great restaurant, very friendly staff (though one of them can be somewhat stressed ;)) and the really classic... More

We returned to Kildrummy hoping to reprise a memorable visit 16 years ago, and it was just as much fun this time. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the setting is idyllic. If you are reading this, you already know about the mansion and the picturesque castle ruins adjoining (not part of the grounds - it's an Historic Scotland property... More

Kildrummy Castle Hotel is tucked away in a lovely location. This is a large extremely well maintained hotel built in 1900. The main reception rooms are all decadently furnished and wood panelling abounds along with open fires which give a lovely homey feel. Our bedroom which was a standard double was surprisingly spacious, as big as some suites in other... More

The hotel is in a classic Scottish country house a few yards away from the picturesque ruins of a wonderful castle. Between house and ruins is the most beautiful simple garden, created by a small stream in a rocky gorge. The hotel is owned and managed by an enthusiastic French lady and her stunning daughter. Coming in the front door... More

Simply stunning! How could anyone not like the Kildrummy Castle Hotel. It's location, the buildings history, the friendly and knowlegeable staff and the food in the restaurant both at dinner and breakfast was superb. Although a large hotel, the atmoshere is really relaxed and all the staff make you feel individually special. Both my wife and I were really disappointed... More

The grounds and hotel are spectacular inside and out (see other reviews) and the French-inspired meals were delicious but what made this for me was the group of people looking after us. Subtle attentiveness with nothing too much trouble. We were made so welcome when we arrived and throughout our stay. On our final morning we slept in and missed... More
