My wife and I stayed here June 26, 2008 as part of our driving vacation through Scotland. The room was very nicely decorated and had lovely views. The grounds are nice to walk through with nice garden areas. There is an interesting overgrown cemetery next to it which was fascinating to walk through and reflect. The breakfast was very good,... more

My husband and I stayed at Carriden House our last two nights in Scotland. As others have stated, it was somewhat hard to find (my GPS was confused!) but eventually we found the place and never had a problem getting back. We stayed in the 4 poster room which was large and lovely. It was a bit chilly but we... more

This is an oldfashioned guest house in part of an old manor house. Dont expect flash. It had a bit of a 'granny' vibe about it but the rooms were large, the staff and owners friendly and helpful and the breakfast very nice. There is wireless internet in the drawing room and plenty of parking. A nice stop outside of... more

It was very hard to find as the description on their website was not accurately detailed. For some reason you can only see the road name approaching it from one side... more

My wife and I stayed for two nights in September '07 while driving around the UK. Friendly people, great room, great breakfast, great view from room, quiet surrounds and good access to Edinburgh. We drove to a Park and Ride on the outskirts of Edinburgh and then caught the bus...easy and avoided Edinburgh traffic. Could also have caught the train... more

We have just returned from a two week trip to Scotland and Normandy. Along our journey, we stayed at the Carriden House, which really looks more like castle. Barbara & Graham Blackbourn were our hosts. They have rebuilt this home with modern amenities while retaining the feel of a historic castle. It was a wonderful place to come back to... more
