Cornhill Castle

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.

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

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
