Stunning settings. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Traditional interiors. Double room is spacious, though the wardrobe and draws could be upgraded in the traditional style to include more space. Overall would go back, especially as its only ten minutes from Glenshee ski centre.

We've just spent New Year's Eve here and it was brilliant! I normally don't like New Year's Eve so decided to travel up to Scotland to stay in Dalmunzie Castle. They had a package for new year's eve that also included the 2nd January (incidentally my birthday). The hotel is charming and the staff were excellent. It is small enough to be able to meet the other guests and spend time chatting by the log/coal fires dotted around. The food was superb. Each meal well presented with excellent service. The staff are a credit to the hotel. For the more active, there's no shortage of things to do. My

Fabulous location. Welcoming and helpful staff. Cosy atmosphere with wonderful food. A little tired in places, nothing a little investment can't overcome. A definite recommend for those wanting something different.

Lovely location , lots of character to the hotel, the hotel is very clean, the staff are all first class, professional throughout our stay. Drinks are expensive, and you dont know the prices until you get your final bill because throughout your stay everything is added daily. Food is also expensive be prepared to pay on average each evening 50-60 per person , average cost of meal per person is 45 , so depending on what you drink can cost you a pretty penny. One lime and Soda is 4.50, a bottle of pale Ale 6.95, average price per bottle of wine 50. Do not buy soup and a sandwich from
