We cannot thank Craigsanquhar enough for going above and beyond at our wedding last week. Fiona and the team were fantastic, so polite, service was perfect and the food was amazing! One or 2 last minute changes were not a problem for the team and everything ran super smooth and we had a fantastic day with all our guests. Paul Webster the piper played beautifully! Fiona's organisation was truly incredible and she checked in with us at various stages after we had booked and came up with ideas to make a covid wedding special. We also had a lovely stay in the Villa and were hugely impressed with gorgeous rooms and breakfast hamper. If we could give more stars, we would.

Attended a close friends wedding: Brilliant attentive staff, fantastically well run, respected the COVID rules well, seamless service. We felt safe while having the best day celebrating the union of a magnificent couple. A fantastic wedding reception, a big thanks to great team who helped it run so very smoothly. We asked for help with lots of little things (such as: storing excess bags, water for bouquets navigating dietary requirements, and helping us when mobile signal was down) the staff were always eager to help. Thankyou!

Stayed here for a wedding, one night in a lodge and one in the main building. The wedding was exceptional and we couldnt have been better looked after. The hotel and lodge were both first class with great beds.

We celebrated our daughter's 21st with a family lunch at this excellent establishment. The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxed. The setting is stunning. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Stayed her for a friend's wedding and couldn't have been happier. The location, rooms, and amenities are amazing but perhaps what's makes this place special is the incredible staff. Just about everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time and had everything we needed from food customizations to the shuttle to the airport. I may only get to go to Scotland once and I am glad I got to stay here.
