The lodge boasts spacious, cozy bedrooms, comfortable beds, and exceptional service. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, delicious breakfast, and friendly staff. However, it might be snug for groups of four.

We recently stayed in one of the lodges at Cornhill Castle and had such an amazing time! The lodges are so lovely and we really enjoyed the hot tubs. It was so peaceful looking out across the fields. We loved the breakfast basket that was delivered in the morning, and the food in the restaurant within the castle was delicious! We’d eloped in the morning and the staff helped make our stay even more special - we were given a celebratory drink on arrival, chocolate strawberries were left in the lodge and each member of the team we came across took the time to congratulate us. We’re so glad we found this place and can’t wait to come back!

Cornhill Castle Hotel is overall the best hotel experience I’ve had in the UK! An Idyllic setting the building itself epitomises a romantic Scottish castle standing on the banks of the river Clyde. There is plenty of parking in front of the hotel and beautiful grounds to wander all around. The room itself was sumptuous and very comfortable with excellent views over the estate looking out towards the river. The staff were charming, friendly and helpful and when our dinner was a little late being served not only apologised but deducted the cost of desert from our bill by way of compensation. The meal itself was well cooked and presented and delicious. There was an excellent selection of single malts allowing me to enjoy a 15 year old Macallan at the end of dinner. A good range of options were available for breakfast and an 11.00am checkout meant no unnecessary rush to leave. A small improvement might be to provide bath robes in the room, but otherwise a very enjoyable stay and thoroughly recommended especially if you want something for a special occasion.

We attended Cornhill Castle for the event of my son and dayghter in laws wedding. From start to finish, arriving the night before and leaving the day after the wedding the staff could not have done more. To say they gave 100 percent would be an understatement, it was well in excess. Chefs who made the fantastic food, waiting staff and bar staff were brilliant, friendly and professional, they are a credit to this establishment. Nothing to fault during our stay, thank you all, you are truly amazing and brought happiness to all of our family and friends. Keep doing what you do. Thank you Mark

We are quite local so not our first visit to Cornhill. it is a lovely venue. I even like the wallpaper. However, for a recent evening meal all was really quite good, but the rib-eye steak was poor and extremely chewy. I mentioned this and was told it would be passed on. I heard nothing which is ok because no response was promised. i tried to do a review but was out of date to use the scan image method given. I contacted Cornhill and was told they aim for a high standard with everything including their beef rib-eye and were sorry about this particular steak. Again, there is nothing wrong about the response, but somehow, I wonder if the Cornhill could have done more? The steaks at the Albany in Biggar were great... We'll go there again next time!

We recently visited Cornhill Castle for a wedding show-around. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Tas, who guided us through the venue, was fantastic. She took the time to walk us through each part of the castle and made sure to answer all of our questions thoroughly.

Chaotic, the hotel itself is very nice, it’s really clean. It was really noisy the night we stayed as they had a wedding, you could hear people partying. The breakfast was awful, we were told that breakfast was between 8.30-10am, we went down to the breakfast room at 8.30, there were 3 other couples also sat in there, we waiting by the entrance of the breakfast room for 5mins; then one of the couples mentioned that they couldn’t find any staff so they all sat down. We sat down and it took 25mins for any staff to be located. Which was shocking, they stated they usually put a continental buffet out with fruit and pastries; this was not the case on the day we were there, there was nothing ready as they were behind, I would say possibly extremely inexperienced staff who didn’t know what they were doing or where they were. We ordered breakfast and coffee eventually, then after about another 15/20mins, they came to notify my husband that the breakfast he ordered wasn’t available as they had run out, so he ordered something else which was another wait. We had to ask 4 times for toast….. which isn’t helpful. I’m coeliac so I can’t eat gluten, I did mention this to the staff, but they didn’t have any idea about allergies which was a massive concern, they gave me toast that wasn’t gluten free; after asking 4 times. Overall the breakfast was the worst experience we have had, so I really wouldn’t bother, two of the four couples who entered breakfast with us walked out without breakfast because it was that chaotic and disastrous. With sufficient staff training and some organisation this could be a great hotel, I think if you’re staying there for a wedding you may have a different experience, but staying there for a night away, don’t bother, much nicer places in the area.

I booked a lodge for my husbands birthday and I am so pleased we did. The lodge was just beautiful, it was small but I expected that based on the pictures. It was warm and very comfortable with a good sized living area and bathroom, yes the bedroom was small but it made it cosy. The bed was very comfy and is classed as a zip link bed. We used the hot tub and enjoyed the beautiful views. The bar is decorated nicely and the open fire was very welcome. The only issue was the wedding guests holding the door open for no reason and letting the heat out and the noise in (not the fault of the hotel). It was nice to see that the hotel bar was reserved for the restaurant and hotel guests and the wedding guests directed to the bar in the other area. Staff were very nice and attentive. My only issue was that the music from the wedding was so loud you could hear it from the lodge and it slightly spoilt the quiet/relaxing atmosphere of the lodge surroundings especially as lodge guests were asked to be out of their hot tub by 10pm for noise levels. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch and allowed us to enjoy a continental breakfast at our leisure. The roll and croissant were warm and fresh. We can't wait to book again for a romantic treat.

My wife and i enjoyed an overnight stay in the Honeymoon Suit( Balmoral). The stay was excellent, the room was amazing, the staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed an evening meal, i had steak and my wife had chicken dish. Both were really enjoyable. The breakfast was also very nice. The hotel hosts weddings and has lovely facilities but doesn’t spare any attention to those who just want to book a quiet romantic stay. Thank you and we will return very soon. Mr & Mrs Duncan
