Our second time for an overnight stay at Castle Venlaw and, as with the first, we were not disappointed. The hotel has a very welcoming informality about it, the owners were working in the garden when we arrived, together with their two cats. This time we were in a standard room, but it was very clean and well appointed and... More

The staff could not be any more helpful on our 2 night getaway. The meal we had on the first night was excellent, the breakfast was very filling although somebodies toast got cremated which hung in the dining room for a few minutes :-D

The rooms were named after Scotch whiskies which I think was cool. We arrived on 3 May around 7.30 pm and it was hard raining. The hotel looked like a Dracula castle; the next morning it was bright and sunny which completely changed the looks. It's based on a mountain so good views! Rooma were comfortable with complimentsry water etc.... More

My daughter bought us a dinner, bed and breakfast deal as a present. It was unique as it is a castle. Easily found and still retaining its character. Our room was reached by a circular stair as is in castles. The special deal was worthwhile. The food was good, the evening meal very tasty, and the home made jams at... More

Went there on Monday 01/04/2013 for a birthday lunch of my friend, we all hungry eaters (5 of us) ordered steak, they stated 21-days aged steaks on menu, my wife ordered half-chicken and my sons had a hotdog. The steaks were all wrong, my medium-rare tasted like overlooked rubbish, it feels like it was defrosted in microwave. None of the... More
