The owner was friendly and offers great ideas of places nearby to see. Breakfast was continental, provided for us as self serve in our room. That was really nice as we had coffee when we wanted it and could move as quickly or slowly as we wished in the morning.

We loved staying here. Gyp is the sweetest dog, bring her a ball! She loves belly rubs. She made the trip extra special. But also, the castle and the grounds are beautiful. David was a lovely host.

Stravithie Castle is like a wonderful step-back in time. The grounds are beautiful and it's a very peaceful, quiet place to stay. The proprietor, David, was very attentive and helpful and made us feel welcome. I would absolutely visit again if I return to Scotland and I would highly recommend a stay here to anyone!
