Inverlochy Castle Hotel

Pros and cons. The hotel itself is outstanding, beatuful architecture, beautiful rooms and decor, beautiful setting. Breakfast was excellent and served in a lovely dining room On the flipside, some items failed to live up to expectations. First one was small and if not for the other, would probably not make a note. Two very expensive whiskey sours were very disappointing. I am a craft cocktail make and the whiskey sour is an easy one. Just balance the smokiness and richness of the whiskey with the bite of the lemon. Ours had no whiskey flavour. I wondered if they even added whiskey. One of the other guests noted the same thing and approached my table to ask how I liked it. The bigger disappointment was the formal restaurant. We are foodies and this was our fifth stop at a chosen dining spot on our three week tour of Scotland and the cost of dinner with the premium wine pairings were twice the other four, all og whom were better dining experiences. On the plus side the room and place settings were equisite, but they outshone the food by a wide margin. Most egregious was the cost of the premium wine pairings for nice, but not exceptional wines, and pourings which were on the light side. Given a typical pouring is a half a glass, these fell short if that. And at this price point, an apertif should have began and finished the dinner pre and post flight. I think we figured when added up, our one- third glasses of wine cane to something like 30 pounds each!

Beautiful property and hotel. Exceptional service and overall wonderful experience.

Beautiful property and wonderful staff.

Spectacular stay. The castle is such a unique experience as a hotel and we loved every minute. The property is beautiful and the service was five star. The only negative was a giant beehive outside our room which prevented us from opening the window. A couple bees also made it inside our room but we were able to “guide” them back out with a small towel. Fortunately neither of us are allergic but my wife was not happy. However this didn’t ruin our stay and we would absolutely return and recommend to anyone. Definitely pricey but we found it worth it.

Beautifully maintain castle with lovely grounds. The staff were all very nice and helpful.

We had a memorable stay in Inverlochy Castle Hotel an experience which more than matched our expectations. Minor niggles were quickly resolved and in no way detracted from our enjoyment. We especially enjoyed walking in the grounds (November weather permitting) and the five course dinner in Seasgair was worth every penny, a fitting climax to our special occasion. Our suite was luxurious and retained the character of a well cared for former grand mansion. Staff were welcoming, obliging and engaging.

I was disappointed with the overall stay here. The atmosphere with stuffy and pretentious, and at times, we felt unwelcome and as though we didn't fit in. There was a particular staff member (I won't name him) that basically scolded me for a discrepancy on a taxi request. The facility itself was phenomenal. The food overpriced, and not worth it (45 pounds per person at Factors Inn for what was basically a few bits of salmon). The breakfast (included), great–no complaints there. The room we had, which was nearly $900 a night, had a fly problem that stemmed from within the room (not midges, which are well known there–these were house flies). We were dismissed when bringing this to their attention, and told that it was because the doors were left open (they weren't). The issue was never resolved. The towels seemed like they were not changed daily, though I won't get into detail on how we discovered this. We will not stay here again because of the pretentious and unwelcoming environment buy some (not all) staff members, but the facility itself was beautiful.

This was the best castle option we stayed in ! It was beautiful & quiet for nice walks around the property ;) we had to go to the inn fine the road to eat bc we didn’t want the fine dining option after a day of travel and wished they had a golf cart transport as it was a bit far when we walked for us older ladies :/ but the factor inn food was very good :) the staff at the castle were very helpful and delightful ; it was nice to have someone to carry our bags up the stairs !the breakfast was also exquisite!! Best if the trip !

It was a beautiful hotel in a quiet, picturesque location. Each meal was great. The staff was friendly and service they provided was very good.

We stayed here one night as a part of a longer trip in Scotland. The hotel is beautiful and clean. The bed was super comfortable with high quality linens and the turn down service made it feel special. The real highlight was the incredible shower. I might be less excited about this if I hadn’t been traveling for 4 weeks and found the showers so be without pressure and often only hot for 5 minutes. But I’m pretty sure it was only partly that. The grounds are lovely and common rooms were comfortable. Staff members were helpful when they were around, sometimes you had to search them out.

The room was spotless, the bathroom Was immaculate.

Pets have a place in society but not at a hotel. Their urine smell unfortunately is almost impossible to get rid of and I believe this is the case at inverlochy.

The castle is stunning and the people who work there are friendly and attentive. They went out of their way to accommodate our children's' food allergies. The room was luxurious and immaculately clean. The staff was very helpful prior to our arrival in helping us plan activities during our stay.

The Inverlochy Castle was wonderful. We didn't realize our room was not in the actual castle but in a different part of the grounds called the walled gardens. The price of the room was definitely not worth it. If you book a room make sure you are in the castle unless you want to pay a lot of money to be on the grounds of the castle. The breakfast was amazing!

Not worth $500 for the walled garden room. Totally seperate building and the rooms were not anything special. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was very nice!

Beautiful castle in stunning surroundings. We loved our room in the walled garden with the massive luxurious bathroom. Staff very friendly. Great Scottish breakfast.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Room was wonderful common area too. We did have the Seasgair dinner and sadly was disappointed. My stomach did not react well at all. My husband seemed to have done fine. Portions are extremely small for each course. Flavors were not my profile desire. My husband liked half of what was given. Overall we decided it was not worth the price for the special dinner. Hotel stay though was worth it!

Good location, quiet and relaxing, bedroom/ bathroom a bit dated and tired

The main castle and grounds are nice and definitely recommended. We wanted to stay an additional night, almost two month before our date of visit, they could only offered us a room in their so called garden rooms outside of the castle and promised to the room is as nice. For nearly the same price the garden room was very basic and half size as our room in the castle itself. Very disingenuous! We reserved dining at their Michelin star restaurant, the service was excellent, but the food was averaged. There are much better restaurants around Fort William.

Very nice rooms and service was phenominal. It was warm westher wise and the heat was in in the comnon rooms and hallways. So it was very warm inside the castle and in our rooms, that was really my biggest complaint.

Overall the stay was very good, however the arrival reception was not welcoming, it was professional but did not have any warmth to it. The female receptionist appeared to be following a script and not using personable skills to make it welcoming. Other members were more personable. Service and food were good.

Beautiful property. Staff was excellent. Views were outstanding. The dinner was quality. The entire experience was five-star. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Inverlochy Castle!! It was amazing and the food was delicious definitely book the afternoon tea it was spectacular! Steve went above and beyond to make our stay so special all of the staff are so accommodating and so kind it was fabulous feeling like a queen and king for the night!

The room was beautifully decorated and the grounds were amazing. Unfortunately our stay was ruined by desk manager and waiter who were not onlyoutrageously rude, but seemed to enjoy being so. I have never had such a horrible experience.

Beautiful location. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Secluded and quiet hotel. Perfect place in the Highlands. Superior staff on hand and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend.

High tea was disappointing. Food was not wonderful We asked for water never got it. It was a good stay but for the money I expected superior everything and that didn’t happen. Too much hype for a good not great return.

Fish and chips were excellent, great quality and the breading is not overbearing.
