The Lady Maxwell Room at Buittle Castle

We just got back from a night away at Buittle Castle and it was beautiful. Tobias greeted us on arrival, plenty of parking and he was the most attentive host, nothing was too much trouble for him. We stayed in the Lady Maxwell room and it was really quirky and the decor was gorgeous and traditional. Comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities, beautiful views out the window. We dined at the Laurie Arms which was a quaint pub down the road, really friendly and lovely food. We came back to the outdoor hot tub which Tobias had heated and prepared for us, where we immersed ourselves into some star gazing and relaxation. Lovely and warm when we went back to our room, pipes were on and shower was lovely and hot. We had a full Scottish breakfast the next morning all home cooked, it was lovely, good portion sizes accompanied by coffee and toast. For the price and location, it really was amazing value for money and would not hesitate to go back again.

Nothing at all. Just a point to make: There is no TV in the Lady Maxwell room. This may not be to everyone's choice, however it suited us as we wanted to escape the usual routine and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Absolutely amazing stay. It felt so magical there, from the view of the tower, to the vintage decor of the room, to the delicious private meal we had in the stunning Great Hall. Tobias was so welcoming and friendly and even gave us a tour inside the castle, which they had renovated so beautifully. A lovely breakfast was served in our room the next day and even their sweet peacock, Perry, came to say hi. Thank you so much for making my birthday so special. We will definitely be back! P.S. Comfiest bed ever!

Delicious full Scottish breakfast in a splendid location!

Nothing, honestly!

Helpful staff. Couldn't do enough for you

Spiders, but to be expected in older properties

It was nice to be so remote, and the room was cozy, the Laird was welcoming, helpful and friendly. Breakfast in the great hall was a nice experience. Breakfast was tasty.

Well, I think a doormat would be a good thing to have, since you trample a bit of dirt inside the room as you enter. Would be super nice with the oven going.

Set in a beautiful location, this unique property is undergoing renovation which is ongoing and has been done very tastefully. The room is spacious, yet cosy with a big comfy bed. The host was very welcoming with great communication beforehand and very helpful during my stay. Breakfast was plentiful and freshly cooked. I ate in the Great Hall which is fabulous, but you can have it delivered to your room if you prefer. Good wifi which was important as I stayed here in a work trip, no issues streaming or accessing my work files.

Watch out for the hairpin bend when coming off the main road on arrival, it's very tight

The quirkiness. Lovely coffee in room. Atmosphere in Great Hall was lovely

Absolutely everything it was perfect .we were thrilled with our room it was decorated lovely with everything we could wish for .The bed was so comfy with fresh white cotton sheets on and even some sherry waiting for us .we knew as soon as we were met by the Baron himself we were in for a wonderful treat .The history book on the table about the ancestors who owned the castle was such a lovely thought the decor and ambience was excellent We had the jacuzzi waiting for us which is behind the castle over looking the beautiful well kept gardens of many herbs veg and beautiful flowers . We loved the pond with the fish and the walk to the river was ideal to exercise our doggie . That's another asset ...its such a doggie friendly castle and nothing was to much trouble .
