We stopped here on our "Highlands and Islands" tour with our daughter and son in law. We could never have dreamed of a better start to the trip. The hosts were friendly and helpful, we had lovely rooms with comfortable beds and beautiful views. Breakfast was terrific! The feeling of history infuses the entire place. More

The minute we arrived we were met by Ronnie who, with his wife Liz , run the castle. We were upgraded as the castle was quiet and the room we should have had was lovely but the room we went into was absolutely first class. The bathroom was beautiful and spotless, the first thing my wife checks. The hospitality tray... More

From the moment we arrived for our 5 night stay we were taken away! Ronnie greeted us with a tea and coffee in the parlour (and an orange juice for my 3 year old). Ronnie and Liz are a beautiful couple and such wonderful hosts to their castle. The Breadalbane room we stayed in was beautiful, immaculate and spacious with... More

We spent a night at the castle and the overall experience was fantastic. Ronnie and Liz are brilliant hosts, knowledgeable about the local area and very happy to share their stories. The food was delicious, and the incredible afternoon tea and breakfast merit special mention. The room was great and the public areas warm and inviting. More

I can only assume that as I booked via laterooms.com that... More

The gentleman in question made a booking request via laterooms.com on-line. Between it being sent and received by us we had already accepted a booking for the room via laterooms.com by telephone. Barcaldine Castle only releases reduced rates to laterooms.com 24hours in advance. The gentleman was telephoned as soon as we received his request and was given an apology and... More
