We arrived very late and had called ahead to let the staff know we would be late for our dinner reservation. We were told the kitchen closes at 9:30pm but would have sandwiches or salads available. We arrived after 9:30pm and upon arrival we were escorted to the drawing room to relax for a few minutes, but to our surprise they kept the staff in and served us a full dinner. We felt so bad they kept their staff on just for us, but that is the level of service we received at all times. I would HIGHLY recommend Glenapp Castle! Our room was spacious, cozy, clean and very well-appointed. Again, definitely a place I would stay again when back in Scotland

When you turn up to a castle you expect something a story. This wasn't and didn't match the brochure. I asked about the history of the castle. I got told it was built 1850 ish. No other details. I found more details from wikipedia than i did from the staff. The service was very slow and very formal. Breakfast took over one and a half hours. Dinner was over 2 hours. The formality remained me more of my old boarding school than a hotel. The seating in the dinning room was closer than the expected 2 meters
