Having decided upon a Scottish castle as a surprise to celebrate my wife’s ‘special’ birthday, I researched many and Glenapp topped the list. So I arrived with high expectations – which were met in every single way. The whole experience was wonderful, for all the reasons listed by other reviewers, and my wife loved it. The owners obviously had a... more

We are newcomers to writing reports for trip advisor however we have always used the site previously for hotel accommodation, especially when we have visited countries abroad. Before coming to the Glenapp Castle, the reports we read sounded out of this world and so our expectations were high. My wife and I both agree that this truly is heaven on... more

We had booked... more

The Queen has Balmoral, but if she didn't I have no doubt she would find her way to this jawdropping castle hotel. My blood pressure went down immediately as I made my way up the mile-long, winding, tree-lined driveway to the castle, which boasts a secluded location and fabulous sea views. At the entrance I was personally greeted by the... more

I love TripAdvisor so I wanted to write reviews for each hotel we stayed in on our trip to Great Britain. We stayed at Glenapp Castle for a wedding. Our experience may be a little different from the "normal" because the entire hotel was the wedding party, but it was an unbeliveable experience. The accomodations were what you would expect.... more

We stayed at Glenapp Castle for the first night of our honeymoon. It was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing. I was treated like a princess and it was the attention to detail that made it really special. For example, our welcome was really personal - "Hello Mrs X, how does it feel to be called that?". They even took... more
