What guests think
Kincraig Castle Hotel is a characterful historic property in a quiet, scenic setting, with many guests praising its welcoming staff, comfortable rooms, inviting lounges with open fires, and especially the generous, well-cooked breakfasts.
Dinner feedback is mixed, with limited menus, occasional closures, and value concerns, and some guests had to reserve time slots for breakfast. A number of reviews note dated decor or maintenance issues in places, occasional housekeeping lapses, no lift to upper floors, and patchy Wi‑Fi. Best for travellers who value historic charm and can accept a few operational quirks.

Staff are very attentive and cant do enough to make your stay a pleasure. Breakfast cooked to irder. My friend said the pancakes were fluffy and the best he had ever tasted and poached eggs were cooked to perfection! Dinner menu could be a bit more variable. Especially if you are staying more than 1 night, but the food was delicious. An elevator/ lift would be most appeciated !! Overall a most enjoyable visit.

The property is very nice. It is maintained well, except for a few carpet tears here and there. Plenty of parking and the location with the view of the valley is exceptional. The staff is very kind and accommodating. My only is issue is there is no lift (elevator) to having to carry heavy luggage up 3 flights of stairs was not fun. Aside from this, I would recommend it.

Really enjoyed our stay. Lounge area was amazing with a variety of seating in different arrangements. Bar snug was really comfortable. Loved the chairs that twirled. Our room was spacious. It was accessible and partner was delighted with the shower which was so easy to access. Room would benefit from some updating and I believe that’s on the cards, it was however, very comfortable. Outdoor area looked really nice. Lots of outdoor seating, and the pods looked great for eating in the evening. Staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Amazing location, food, staff and large open fire, well worth the journey. The staff were so helpful and engaging, we bought a few of the locally made jewellery that was on display. Large rooms with super comfortable bed, large bathrooms. The lounge by the fire having a drink after a cold day out sightseeing was welcomed.

We recognised that the hotels in the highlands on the NC500 route weren’t that good but the Kincraig hotel didn’t even meet our low expectations. The general conditions were poor, the rooms were not maintained - even the bed wasn’t made during our 2 night stay. The food was ok but we certainly won’t be returning.

We chose this spot since there was nothing available in inverness (due to a marathon) where we would have stayed to visit the highlands. The area outside is pretty but the hotel needs updates and renovations badly. The windows are in terrible shape and I think there was mold in the room we stayed. There was no thermostat for heating so it was either too hot or too cold with the system in the room. Also they need more staff. We like to give a shout out to Vijay who helped us during our stay with check in, showing our room, taking bar orders, and server breakfast. They had two other people on Saturday night and that's it while they had two large parties of people go were also staying as hotel guests.

From the photographs, Kincraig Castle Hotel potentially offered so much but delivered on nothing. My room, whilst large in size, was tired with mildew on the blinds and furniture from the 70s. A most uncomfortable bath. Dinner was dreadful. The location was the bar with 70’s style small metallic looking round tables squeezed in. My starter of homemade scotch egg was bland and tasteless and looked as if a small child had made it! It was accompanied by large pile of salad leaves and carrot. The waiter brought a bottle of dressing which turned out to be vinegar. I had to ask for salt and pepper as the cruets hadn’t been laid on the tables. My main course was absolutely inedible: the asparagus was grey, slimy and probably from a tin. The broccoli was equally grey and dreadfully overcooked. The sweet potato mash was horriblel having been over spiced and the tiny fillet of farmed sea bass was soggy and unpleasant. Breakfast was equally poor. How do you serve a grey sausage that has no caramelisation? Definitely a hotel to avoid! This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel!

Beautiful building and grounds with very friendly staff (especially Sam & Mel) however Internet service is like something from the 90s. Three days of extreme frustration with service constantly dropping when trying to work. Complained numerous times but nothing improved. Excellent breakfast however lunch and dinner options extremely limited. Only 3 main course choices from Bar menu that closed at 5pm and only 3 choices from Dining menu also and they were same each day. No food available after 8.30pm, even for resident's.

At first, this is a perfect hotel for a quiet stay in the highlands of Scotland! Just perfect, cozy, bucolic and inspiring country side castle hotel. The staff is friendly and accommodation is very clean. There is only one issue and that made me reduce the rating for 5 stars to 2 stars: the hotel staff required us to book a time slot for the breakfast and the only slot available: 7am on a Sunday easy going morning. Not sure if it is understaffed to accommodate all guests during usual weekend breakfast, bit just completely inconvenient for holidays.

Lovely building. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. Food was very good. Grounds are pretty. Really busy main road to cross and not an easy entrance to spot in fast moving traffic.

Beautiful old building on the NC500. Simply stunning, from the long driveway and grounds to the grand lounge and dining areas. Bedroom was an impressive size with tasteful period style decor. Staff were all great, food was superb.

The property is very nice. It is maintained well, except for a few carpet tears here and there. Plenty of parking and the location with the view of the valley is exceptional. The staff is very kind and accommodating. My only is issue is there is no lift (elevator) to having to carry heavy luggage up 3 flights of stairs was not fun. Aside from this, I would recommend it.

It is a perfect drive to the Dunnrobin castle in the morning !We loved this stay but the dining room was an issue bc we had to reserve time slots to eat; also the food quality was ok; my burger was not good meat but i think a mix with meat; and the bread with my soup the first nite was white toast not homemade bread, yet 2 nd nite they had a hardy homemade bread with soup; also the meals forced you to have a 2 or 3 courses when we just wanted simple meal ; the bruchetta was horrible with loads of raw onions so they need a new bruchetta recipe i think. otherwise the room was nice and staff was nice!

Dining
Breakfast consistently earns high marks for quality and cooked‑to‑order dishes. Dinner experience is inconsistent, with limited menus, occasional closures or early cut‑offs, and some concerns about value or quality.

Staff are very attentive and cant do enough to make your stay a pleasure. Breakfast cooked to irder. My friend said the pancakes were fluffy and the best he had ever tasted and poached eggs were cooked to perfection! Dinner menu could be a bit more variable. Especially if you are staying more than 1 night, but the food was delicious. An elevator/ lift would be most appeciated !! Overall a most enjoyable visit.

If you are expecting the resturant on a sunday think again. we had travelled all day hoping to have a nice evening and meal . Only to be told the restaurant was closed. If we wanted food we could drive into the next village or order a takeaway. They did supply cutlery and plates for the takeaway. They also did have a list of restaurants and takeaways. The room was very dated, tiles in bathroom needed regrouting. We were supposed to be in a superior room. I dont know what the basic rooms were like. and also not cleaned properly. There were crumbs on the dresser.

Only negative was the evening meal. Did not justify the price. Table service was excellent but the quality of the food was below par for the price. For example: a starter from the kid’s menu and a burger from the main menu for the same kid ended up costing £25 for the burger, due to how pricing works. Everything else about the hotel was lovely but next time we would go out to eat. Breakfast, on the other hand, was exceptional, especially the cooked breakfast. Tasty, healthy, well presented… We have to assume there is a different chef doing breakfasts.

We arrived before checkin time, but the staff welcomed us to wait in the lounge and we ordered lunch and drinks. The room was very comfortable and well furnished. The staff was lovely, and we ate dinner and breakfast there. The dinner was delicious, but a bit overpriced. The breakfast had lots of options and we greatly enjoyed it. Would stay here again anytime.

Beautiful grounds and location. The hotel restaurant was closed so just a limited bar menu and it would have been good for that to have been disclosed prior to arrival. The highland cow kids toys on arrival was the sweetest gesture! Overall we enjoyed the stay :)

Beautiful building and grounds with very friendly staff (especially Sam & Mel) however Internet service is like something from the 90s. Three days of extreme frustration with service constantly dropping when trying to work. Complained numerous times but nothing improved. Excellent breakfast however lunch and dinner options extremely limited. Only 3 main course choices from Bar menu that closed at 5pm and only 3 choices from Dining menu also and they were same each day. No food available after 8.30pm, even for resident's.

From the photographs, Kincraig Castle Hotel potentially offered so much but delivered on nothing. My room, whilst large in size, was tired with mildew on the blinds and furniture from the 70s. A most uncomfortable bath. Dinner was dreadful. The location was the bar with 70’s style small metallic looking round tables squeezed in. My starter of homemade scotch egg was bland and tasteless and looked as if a small child had made it! It was accompanied by large pile of salad leaves and carrot. The waiter brought a bottle of dressing which turned out to be vinegar. I had to ask for salt and pepper as the cruets hadn’t been laid on the tables. My main course was absolutely inedible: the asparagus was grey, slimy and probably from a tin. The broccoli was equally grey and dreadfully overcooked. The sweet potato mash was horriblel having been over spiced and the tiny fillet of farmed sea bass was soggy and unpleasant. Breakfast was equally poor. How do you serve a grey sausage that has no caramelisation? Definitely a hotel to avoid! This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel!

Lovely friendly hotel, it’s a quiet time of year, so although staff was limited we were very well attended to. The bed and breakfast side was perfect, but the evening meal selection was very limited and pretty basic, but it didn’t spoil our stay

The staff was incredible and walked an extra mile to keep us happy. the room and bed linen was dirty so they had to change it, there was no cold water in the shower in both our and other rooms, and the food in the restaurant was sent out, when we received new food it was just as bad but we did not bother to send it out and wait again. Not what we expected at this place and price.

Driving up hotel is very impressive, lovely lawns, boar and deer statues scattered around and 2 wolfhounds guarding entrance Our hotel room and bathroom were massive with lovely views. Food was not available but staff would help you order in from local takeaway restaurants a d would supply crockery and cutlery. Limited menu in evening but was of excellent flavour and presentation. Beautiful lounge to relax in with some information about history of family who had owned it. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially VJ. Would highly recommend a stay here, too many of theses lovely country houses have disappeared.
