Fantastic 2nd honeymoon dinner in the Dungeon!!!! Took a great hike around the property the next day, with a visit to the falcon habitat. The Falcon caretaker was very friendly and knowledgeable. Having never seen a falcon up close, it was a real unexpected treat.

Dalhousie Castle - Beautiful Stay

A beautiful place to stay. Service from check in to check out was great, parking was convenient, and the room was clean. We had dinner in the "dungeon" with the pre-set tasting menu and it was extraordinary. We di did not utilize the spa area so I can't comment on those services. We would definitly stay here again.
