The Castle is so unique and the hosts were marvellous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lord and Lady Moncreiff are wonderful hosts and the room was super. It was great to better understand the history of this wonderful home. The opportunity to walk the grounds, see the maze, the out-buildings and experience the beautiful property was special. The rooms are extremely clean and yet welcoming. The meals are terrific and dinner is well worth the additional cost. Anyone in the Perth, Kinross, Edinburgh area should make this a must.

Stayed in the self catering holiday cottage that was part of Tulliebole Castle for a long weekend. When we arrived the cottage was amazing, everything you could want and more. The fridge had breakfast for next day in it, loaf of bread, milk, bacon, eggs etc. The cottage itself was an old barn, long and thin with all the mod-cons you need. the bathroom was amazing, like a 7 star hotel. Very much enjoyed walking round the grounds, the maze, the witches graveyard, the peacocks and all the surrounding countryside. Definately go there if you want a nice relaxing time in really lovely surroundings

My father, 7-yr-old son, and I stayed at this wonderful castle on our British Open trip this summer -- 2 nights with the Moncreifs, husband and wife who were gracious hosts. Turning off the rural road, driving up the wooded lane, and rounding the bend brought us to the breathtaking grounds of this centuries' old home...peacocks and exotic trees, the witches maze, dogs scampering through the lawn. The inside was grand and cozy all at once. The breakfasts were fresh and delicious in the downstairs sitting room, complete with ancient fireplace and comfy leather chairs. The upstairs great hall featured a fireplace large enough for several people to sit in while warming hands and toes.

Lord Moncreif had taken the time to research our family name's presence in the area, having heard that we were looking for old roots. He was prepared on our arrival with maps, local knowledge books, and lots of interesting stories about the surrounding towns and landscape.

Our bedrooms were traditionally decorated and very comfortable - bedding was especially cozy. We walked the spiral stairs in the tower to reach our bathroom, which was contemporary/completely up-to-date...could have been straight out of a higher-end modern B&B. The location of the castle is excellent for visiting the coast to the east, the inland west, and Edinburgh. Everything is so close by in the this small country that we took in many sights and different types of geography in a short while. We were able to stay here the night before our early morning departure from Edinburgh Airport without a problem.

Overall, very highly recommended. We will most certainly come back the next time we are in Scotland!

Really, writing a review for this place is probably jeopardizing our ability to stay there ever again.

Where to start?
There are peacocks galore, a complicated hedge maze, AN ENTIRE GREAT HALL, and spacious bed and bath.

Incredible history and knowledgeable hosts! Could not ask for a better combination. The Moncreiffs answered all of our detailed questions about the castle's history (and the interesting business of insuring a castle). They also offered to take pictures, and helped us find our way to the park-and-ride in Edinburgh. We appreciated the nice bathroom products (after sub-par soaps, shampoos etc. at other places). One note: the bedroom has separate beds (as indicated on their website) so if you are traveling with a significant other just make sure to snuggle in front of the giant fireplace before bedtime.

The best part of this place has to either be the Great Hall (which you get all to yourself, compete with all the interesting contents & a lot of good books to look at) OR the dinner we enjoyed with our hosts. If you have the time to have a sit down dinner here you will not regret it -- venison, pheasant and a special gin! Everything is delicious, beautifully presented and the majority of the ingredients are from the property. This was a real treat.

If you are looking for a great castle experience, skip the overprice, over restored places and come see the real thing.
