The Carberry Tower story is one of extremes. The exterior and common areas of the hotel are gorgeous. The Snooker Room? I want one! The Music Room, the Library? Same. They are regal and impressive, yet comfortable and welcoming. The gardens are lovely and the grounds complement the beautiful building. So what's the downside? Room size and service (or lack... More

We stayed here for two nights on a Groupon Deal paid for by my family for my birthday but we did an upgrade (£60 for two nights was well worth it!) We had the Bowes Lyon Suite which was wonderful - loads of space - crystal chandeliers - settee - dining table & chairs - four poster bed which was... More

we decided to have a two days business meeting here. the environment is very impressive and you can feel the history. The room (mine was 205) pretty good, very well taken care of. The lounge areas are very nice, well-groomed and have excellent furnishings in the details. Friendly staff. Definitely recommended for a dip in the quiet and in the... More

I had a 2 days business meeting in the hotel. It is like going back few centuries still with the comfort of our time. Rooms are basic though nice. Meeting room is beautiful though not well equipped for a business meeting. Restaurant and bar are very good. The hotel is organizing also customizable whiskey tasting with a very good selection....

We were part of a very large wedding party that took over the whole hotel, plus the neighbouring lodges on the estate and another hotel down the road. If you are looking for a 'real' castle with towers, suits of armour, stuffed wild boar and antlers on the wall, this is the place for you. The place is beautifully restored,... More

Stayed here as a birthday treat for my better half and she wasn't disappointed - but hey, what woman doesn't want to wake up in a castle on her birthday?!! Set in tranquil and picturesque grounds, which are perfect for wandering around in the evening, the castle is everything you could want it to be. Excellent, friendly, and helpful staff... More

Carberry Tower hosted our wedding, including 53 guests aged from 11 weeks to 87 years old (all stayed at the Tower). They really did us proud! Everyone was blown away by the venue, food and service. Everyone commented on how good the food was on the day and breakfast the next day for everyone was fab. The venue is very... More

We went on a Groupon Deal and stayed 2 nights (room 301.) We loved the place. Our room was spacious (our friends who came with us had a very small room - 302 but the room was changed without any hassle or consequence.) The staff were very friendly and Christian, the General Manager, a great laugh (maybe he shouldn't be... More
