Stunning and Idyllic Venue: The hotel is frequently described as a beautiful Scottish castle with plenty of parking, manicured gardens, and breathtaking surroundings, including views of the River Clyde and Tinto Hill. The setting is ideal for weddings and romantic getaways.

Chaotic, the hotel itself is very nice, it’s really clean. It was really noisy the night we stayed as they had a wedding, you could hear people partying. The breakfast was awful, we were told that breakfast was between 8.30-10am, we went down to the breakfast room at 8.30, there were 3 other couples also sat in there, we waiting by the entrance of the breakfast room for 5mins; then one of the couples mentioned that they couldn’t find any staff so they all sat down. We sat down and it took 25mins for any staff to be located. Which was shocking, they stated they usually put a continental buffet out with fruit and pastries; this was not the case on the day we were there, there was nothing ready as they were behind, I would say possibly extremely inexperienced staff who didn’t know what they were doing or where they were. We ordered breakfast and coffee eventually, then after about another 15/20mins, they came to notify my husband that the breakfast he ordered wasn’t available as they had run out, so he ordered something else which was another wait. We had to ask 4 times for toast….. which isn’t helpful. I’m coeliac so I can’t eat gluten, I did mention this to the staff, but they didn’t have any idea about allergies which was a massive concern, they gave me toast that wasn’t gluten free; after asking 4 times. Overall the breakfast was the worst experience we have had, so I really wouldn’t bother, two of the four couples who entered breakfast with us walked out without breakfast because it was that chaotic and disastrous. With sufficient staff training and some organisation this could be a great hotel, I think if you’re staying there for a wedding you may have a different experience, but staying there for a night away, don’t bother, much nicer places in the area.

We recently stayed in one of the lodges at Cornhill Castle and had such an amazing time! The lodges are so lovely and we really enjoyed the hot tubs. It was so peaceful looking out across the fields. We loved the breakfast basket that was delivered in the morning, and the food in the restaurant within the castle was delicious! We’d eloped in the morning and the staff helped make our stay even more special - we were given a celebratory drink on arrival, chocolate strawberries were left in the lodge and each member of the team we came across took the time to congratulate us. We’re so glad we found this place and can’t wait to come back!

Cornhill Castle Hotel is overall the best hotel experience I’ve had in the UK! An Idyllic setting the building itself epitomises a romantic Scottish castle standing on the banks of the river Clyde. There is plenty of parking in front of the hotel and beautiful grounds to wander all around. The room itself was sumptuous and very comfortable with excellent views over the estate looking out towards the river. The staff were charming, friendly and helpful and when our dinner was a little late being served not only apologised but deducted the cost of desert from our bill by way of compensation. The meal itself was well cooked and presented and delicious. There was an excellent selection of single malts allowing me to enjoy a 15 year old Macallan at the end of dinner. A good range of options were available for breakfast and an 11.00am checkout meant no unnecessary rush to leave. A small improvement might be to provide bath robes in the room, but otherwise a very enjoyable stay and thoroughly recommended especially if you want something for a special occasion.

We attended Cornhill Castle for the event of my son and dayghter in laws wedding. From start to finish, arriving the night before and leaving the day after the wedding the staff could not have done more. To say they gave 100 percent would be an understatement, it was well in excess. Chefs who made the fantastic food, waiting staff and bar staff were brilliant, friendly and professional, they are a credit to this establishment. Nothing to fault during our stay, thank you all, you are truly amazing and brought happiness to all of our family and friends. Keep doing what you do. Thank you Mark

Went for a family wedding. Such a beautiful location, the castle is lovely and welcoming. The lodges are great as is all the food. The staff are excellent. The only “complaint” is that they should provide an umbrella in the lodges as it does rain alot.

What a professional wedding team.We live in New Zealand and were unable to attend my nephew’s wedding in person.We contacted the team to organise some champagne to be delivered to the bride and groom prior to the reception.Kirstie and her team made this seamless and all went without a hitch .This made it bearable for all concerned.We would have no hesitation in recommending this venue even from the other side of the world.Thanks team Regards Alastair Crawford

Wow just wow.. we arrived on the Monday before our daughters wedding 35 min drive from Livingston & stayed in the Clyde Lodge breathtaking views from lodge & hot tub & plenty of room inside yeah I get that the bed doesn’t have much room at sides but we only stayed in for 1 night so was perfect for our requirements. From an 8am start on the Tuesday for the wedding day the staff at the hotel couldn’t be any more informative Karen & Adam kept us up to speed with what was happening throughout the morning. The ceremony & dinner to the night time & morning breakfast when we all sat as a family was truly exceptional & can’t thank the staff enough at Cornhill for the smooth running of a unforgettable day, Karen, Adam, Ashleigh, Nathan & front of house staff (sorry if I have forgotten anyone) should be proud of the service you provide at Cornhill & would highly recommend Cornhill to anyone looking to book this venue 5 stars 🌟 all round 👌🏻💒👰🫶

Felt like a King and Queen. Beautiful room. Nicely decorated. Wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate all they had in this area. Wonderful meal as well. I do recommend this location.
