Spacious enough accommodation in a lovely setting.
Spacious enough accommodation in a lovely setting. Felt aspects of the kitchen area were a bit tired and some utensils + white goods could do with an upgrade + added to, e.g. in a self catering setting a dishwasher is a good way of ensuring dishes are clean, rather than depending on other people's washing standards. A tumble dryer (or washer dryer) would also be good given the British climate. Caretaker/manager was very nice and approachable. She very kindly left in some bread, milk, butter, sausages, bacon, eggs and a very delicious homemade cherry + sultana Bakewell tart. Yum yum. Very peaceful and would definitely go back. Lovely walks + cycles on doorstep, in the form of Delgaty Woods. A very restful retreat. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Very enjoyable stay at Delegate Castle in the Symbister Suite.
Very enjoyable stay at Delegate Castle in the Symbister Suite. The castle itself is very interesting and was used as a family home until the death of Capt Hay . it has a lovely atmosphere. The Laird's kitchen is worth a visit. lovely scones and cakes. It is also a great base for visiting other castles in the area.

We spent October week in the apartment with our two boys (aged 5 and 6) and Granny. We found the accommodation warm, clean, spacious, well equipped and ghost free. Joan, the manager, was most helpful and ensured our stay was smooth. There are easy woodland walks and cycles from the door, the beautiful Banff coast line 30 mins drive away, a Tesco in Turrif and superb cakes in the Castle cafe. What more do you need? Great stay. Thank you
