We have been several times to Delgaty Castle for afternoon tea and when we saw that they were doing a Mothers day special afternoon tea we booked it right away. It was such a let down though. The sandwiches were cheap and nasty and we didn't eat them. Some of the cakes lovely though others not so great. For £15... More

Delagtie castle is a privately run trust and the people that run it, run it with a passion. It is not as swish as a national trust property but oozes character, charm and heaps of history with some lovely stories about past glories and ignomies! - even the cobbled yard has been fixed up with old bottle glasses and telegraph...

It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise, with a... More

We attended a friends wedding at this Castle and it was amazing, the attention to detail was second to none. They got married in the wee chapel which was very intimate for a small wedding. We stayed over night in one of the apartments in the castle with a four poster bed and it was just lovely. The lady who... More
