Barony Castle Hotel

Stunning location Staff excellent in all areas but especially to the reception staff and the cleaning lady on the first floor who was always laughing and smiling ( didn’t catch her name but I wish I did )

The welcome by the concierge was extremely friendly and informative (a real credit to the place) There was very large selection of Breakfast foods ranging from the fully fried, including Haggis, cereal, yogurts, cheeses etc. Evening meal menu was varied with a good selection to suit most appetites' (the stake pie was a particular favorite). The pool/spa although quite small was a nice feature and a good place to unwind. (gym available as well) The setting is beautiful and you can walk off into the woods for miles. Great location to do some exploring (Moffat, Grey Mare's tail waterfall, St Mary's loch, Megget reservoir, Talla reservoir) to name but a few places to visit.

The location was fabulous, the hotel communal areas were very nicely presented. The staff were so lovely and friendly (Janette and Ryan were lovely on reception) , they couldn't do enough for us. The food was very good. We upgraded our room to the Eddleston suite which was fabulous, just idyllic.

The staff were all lovely and welcoming especially in the restaurant on Monday night and at reception o Tuesday morning. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing. We had a lovely walk in the grounds. We knew about the polish map but not the walk down to the altar which was beautiful.

Loved everything. My only criticism would be that you can hear the people in the rooms next to you quite loudly. Saying that, I appreciate it's an old castle and whenever it was originally turned into a hotel, they didn't take this into consideration, nothing to do with the current owners I'm sure. The staff and service are exceptional and the food is great.
