John & Nicole were so gracious to come and pick us up. Food was great. Nicole does a history of the castle after dinner each night which was so enjoyable and a tour of the castle. Our room was huge and we loved every minute of it. We walked to the little Hamlet of Leslie and met some of the locals. The weather was great...

"I had a short connection - late evening to early morning. Staff was fine but restaurant closed at 9pm with no options for a light bite while transiting through on an overnight connection. The room was dated and the bathroom not the cleanest, due to being dated - you can’t keep old rooms immaculate. I had a total of 5 hours to sleep but was woken up by the fire alarm going off at 1230am. It is also a long walk to the airport if you wanted to go for that option - the farthest walk of all the ABZ...
