Perfect bedroom with the most comfortable bed Ive ever slept in!
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable. Loved the quirky details. Relaxed homely environment.

Cons:

Dining room didn’t have the same vibe as the rest of the hotel. Beautiful ceiling but the tables and chairs etc felt more ‘bistro’ than castle.

Superb
Pros:

A great place to meet up with the family. Very well looked after and we couldn't have asked for more help and flexibility as our plans changed. Augill castle hotel highlights it's perfectly imperfect design and it nails it. It's comfortable, casual and welcoming making you feel at home straight away. Would stay again and explore the countryside.

Rest and recuperation
Pros:

We needed somewhere to stay after finishing some medical treatment and Augill Castle was perfect for us. The service was personal and thoughtful and the food was delicious. The weather was good too, which helped, but is probably less predictable!

Beautiful place, would definitely return, wish we had stayed more nights!
Pros:

Staff excellent. Bedroom, lounge, sitting, and other rooms were so well furnished in a period style. We loved it. The dining menu was terrific, set menu of 4-5 options for each course, but plenty to satisfy us. Food was great.

Cons:

Prefer a queen bed rather than double, but maybe that was an option we didn’t chose?

Alice in Wonderland vibes
Pros:

Step inside Augill Castle and just let yourself enter an almost Alice in Wonderland world. Feel like a Tudor king having a toilet break on an old fashioned wooden loo. Spot the old fashioned record player in the bathroom. Have breakfast with perfectly mismatched crockery. Be encouraged to explore on your own rather than have a formal tour. Scare yourself to death by opening a door in your bedroom to find a single chair in a freezing turret. Staff were fun. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge for 6 hours doing a puzzle with a glass of wine. To top it off for us we got a spectacular Northern Lights display over the castle on our last night. Don’t expect a “5* resort” but definitely enjoy a 5* experience.

Pros:

The property is decorated in a quirky manner - mainly antiques, but some modern pieces. It feels more like a relaxed home environment than a hotel. Breakfast and dinner was good quality, but dinner is not available on Mondays or Tuesdays.

A fabulous and unique experience with the loveliest staff

The castle was a unique place to stay. Quirky and interesting. Restored the soul and instilled a feeling of calm - we felt at home and were so sad to leave. It is beautiful and peaceful. A place to explore and feel relaxed.

Cons:

Nothing.
