60th Birthday stay
stayed: April 2025
I booked a stay for my husbands 60th. On first impressions I was a bit disappointed with the entry and into the Reception area as it just didn t seem befitting of the grandeur of the Castle. The staff were friendly though. The rooms were smaller than I expected, nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom, but the bed was very comfortable. I had asked if something special could be arranged for his birthday, he did get a postcard on the bed, but was disappointed that nothing else was done to acknowledge it, a candle on his desert or something would have been nice! The meal in the dungeon was lovely however, although small portions, the desert filled us up, it was lovely. On our 2nd night we ate in the Orangery, had a nice meal, however being his birthday night, and we were the only 2 people in there (and no little gesture) made it a tad disappointing to say the least! Breakfasts were lovely on both days, the staff were lovely. The grounds around Dalhousie are lovely, and some nice walks to be had. The bar could do with a bit of improving, it s a bit small, under stocked and over priced. Otherwise a lovely old Castle. Oh beware, you will be charged gratuity at 10% on top of paying tax on your meal/drinks, I hadn t realised you could ask for it to be removed
