Customer Reviews

My wife and I had been considering booking a stay at Castle Leslie as our Christmas present to eachother this year, so we had been checking dates and prices recently as we try and decide which suits us best. I noticed an advert on Facebook from Castle Leslie that they had a black Friday sale on and that all rates in the months we wanted had been discounted 15%. Fantastic, I thought... this was a great opportunity to book our stay with a little discount. However, it appears they have increased their standard rates prior to this "discount" being applied so that the total price is actually more expensive than when we were originally looking. I'm disappointed in this tactic and didn't think Castle Leslie would have engaged in this sort of thing. We're likely going to stay elsewhere now.

There are times and occasions in life when we must put pen to paper to borrow an old addage. 21st Nov 2025 we went for a meal to the hotel and the setting, the service and staff were stunning. My aunt's loved the food and the venue and a special fuss was made of the birthday girl. Definitely going back

Beautiful place. We had afternoon tea. Great selection of teas. My SIL had whisky/chocolate flavour. My brother had black tea. Both were enjoyed along with a good selection of sandwiches and cakes. The only downside was the scones were not all good. But that was immediately rectified. They served lemon curd as well as jam and cream. Would definitely recommend it
