Excellent location!

9.0

Scotland’s Oldest Inhabited Castle. Since the 13th century, Dalhousie Castle has been host to royalty, celebrated poets and wonderful guests. Today, we continue the tradition of Scotland’s warm hospitality. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with open arms as we cater to your every need with impeccable service and attention to detail. Our highly experienced hoteliers are dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of extraordinary. Dalhousie had a variety of owners in the late 20th century, and was even used as a private boarding school (Scotland’s answer to Hogwarts!) before being transformed into a luxurious hotel in 1972. One thing is certain, through the vast and somewhat tumultuous history of Dalhousie Castle, it has now become a symbol and beacon of Scottish hospitality, welcoming guests with open arms.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
