Glenapp Castle

This was the second of my husband's birthday presents. I hired the Gillie before going to the hotel as part of my husband's birthday. Gordon was friendly and knowledgeable and my husband really enjoyed the experience even though the weather wasn't nice. After that we headed to the hotel and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was a fantastic experience. A big thank you to Jen who looked after us throughout our stay and a big thank you to Duncan who looked after us at dinner. The food was exceptional and the taste sensations were delightful. The wine was very good too. Thank you so much for making my husband's 50th birthday so memorable. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to return for my birthday. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to return

We visited Glenapp Castle for 3 nights to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we were met by staff at the entrance to the castle to the moment we left we were made to feel very special. The Castle is accessed by a long, beautiful private drive through woodland. The hotel is surrounded by 75 acres of beautiful woodland that has many walks and places of interest. There is no formal reception area, instead there is a welcoming hall where you book in. We were shown to our elegant room that had views over to the sea in the distance. A bottle of champagne was waiting in the room for us. The room was large and very comfortably furnished. The huge bed was the best bed we have ever slept in!! The bathroom was well stocked with Penhaligon toiletries, slippers and comfortable bathrobes. Bed was turned down at night, which is a nice touch. The public rooms were large, tastefully furnished with comfortable seating and lovely open fires. Elegance is maintained throughout the hotel Personalised menus were delivered daily and we ate every day at the hotel. The tasting menu was superb as were all the other meals. When I commented on a particular dish that had been on the menu previously that was a favourite of mine, the staff discussed it with the chef and arranged for it be available for me! The service was exceptional throughout our stay. The staff were all very friendly, informative and highly professional. When we were leaving we were given a friendly goodbye and offered water for the long journey home, another nice touch. This is a remarkable hotel and we hope to definitely return for another visit.

We have previously visited for lunch with family,which was amazing. Our recent visit was for an overnight stay to celebrate our golden wedding as a gift from daughter and son in law. The experience was fantastic.From the meeting at the main entrance by John (manager and staff member.John escorted us to our bedroom,which certainly had the WOW factor.All staff were friendly and engaging,as was Paul,the owner. Our evening meal was absolutely delicious.Little touches included a card in our bedroom from the Glenapps team,congratulating us on our anniversary.Individual staff also congratulated us.Its little touches that make your stay special. We would certainly highly recommend Glenapps Castle to visit and stay

Where do I start, What can I say, We had a wedding weekend at Glenapp at the start of October and stayed at Glenapp with 31 friends and family who were on a mystery tour. We adopted the hotel as our weekend house and it was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Our guests, 3 weeks later are still talking about how amazing it was. The venue was magnificent, the food was superb, the service from the staff was excellent, Guests have said "The rooms were incredibly comfortable and tastefully decorated, the food delicious and the staff obliging and friendly." , "it was like a fairytale", and this is an understatement. Without us requesting it one of the waitresses created a personal breakfast menu for an elderly dutch guest who spoke no english, and the guest in question was overwhelmed. This is only one small thing; the whole experience was amazing and we wish we could do it again! It is an amazing place to have for a family get together, and I cannot recommend a stay there highly enough. Thank you Hugh, John, Aileen, Tanya, Fay, all the waiting and kitchen staff and everyone else who I have not mentioned here. We WILL be coming back.

This place is fabulous! We have been to stay and also just to have a meal. There are substantial grounds and the rooms are second to none. The service is exceptional as is the food. We had our wedding there because it’s so so good! It’s expensive but worth every penny! Hope to go this year again! Ten out of ten!!
