Cornhill Castle

Wow just wow.. we arrived on the Monday before our daughters wedding 35 min drive from Livingston & stayed in the Clyde Lodge breathtaking views from lodge & hot tub & plenty of room inside yeah I get that the bed doesn’t have much room at sides but we only stayed in for 1 night so was perfect for our requirements. From an 8am start on the Tuesday for the wedding day the staff at the hotel couldn’t be any more informative Karen & Adam kept us up to speed with what was happening throughout the morning. The ceremony & dinner to the night time & morning breakfast when we all sat as a family was truly exceptional & can’t thank the staff enough at Cornhill for the smooth running of a unforgettable day, Karen, Adam, Ashleigh, Nathan & front of house staff (sorry if I have forgotten anyone) should be proud of the service you provide at Cornhill & would highly recommend Cornhill to anyone looking to book this venue 5 stars all round

Chaotic, the hotel itself is very nice, it’s really clean. It was really noisy the night we stayed as they had a wedding, you could hear people partying. The breakfast was awful, we were told that breakfast was between 8.30-10am, we went down to the breakfast room at 8.30, there were 3 other couples also sat in there, we waiting by the entrance of the breakfast room for 5mins; then one of the couples mentioned that they couldn’t find any staff so they all sat down. We sat down and it took 25mins for any staff to be located. Which was shocking, they stated they usually put a continental buffet out with fruit and pastries; this was not the case on the day we were there, there was nothing ready as they were behind, I would say possibly extremely inexperienced staff who didn’t know what they were doing or where they were. We ordered breakfast and coffee eventually, then after about another 15/20mins, they came to notify my husband that the breakfast he ordered wasn’t available as they had run out, so he ordered something else which was another wait. We had to ask 4 times for toast….. which isn’t helpful. I’m coeliac so I can’t eat gluten, I did mention this to the staff, but they didn’t have any idea about allergies which was a massive concern, they gave me toast that wasn’t gluten free; after asking 4 times. Overall the breakfast was the worst experience we have had, so I really wouldn’t bother, two of the four couples who entered breakfast with us walked out without breakfast because it was that chaotic and disastrous. With sufficient staff training and some organisation this could be a great hotel, I think if you’re staying there for a wedding you may have a different experience, but staying there for a night away, don’t bother, much nicer places in the area.

My husband and I booked lunch today in The Ghillie and we were absolutely delighted with the first class service we received from the lovely Hannah. The food was delicious and fresh and my husband said the Cullen Skink was outstanding. The steak pie was filled with plenty of steak and the haddock was fresh and tasty. The location is absolutely beautiful and the decor of the hotel is amazing. A few of the other tables had afternoon tea which looked lovely and I will definitely return to experience this.

We recently stayed in one of the lodges at Cornhill Castle and had such an amazing time! The lodges are so lovely and we really enjoyed the hot tubs. It was so peaceful looking out across the fields. We loved the breakfast basket that was delivered in the morning, and the food in the restaurant within the castle was delicious! We’d eloped in the morning and the staff helped make our stay even more special - we were given a celebratory drink on arrival, chocolate strawberries were left in the lodge and each member of the team we came across took the time to congratulate us. We’re so glad we found this place and can’t wait to come back!

We attended Cornhill Castle for the event of my son and dayghter in laws wedding. From start to finish, arriving the night before and leaving the day after the wedding the staff could not have done more. To say they gave 100 percent would be an understatement, it was well in excess. Chefs who made the fantastic food, waiting staff and bar staff were brilliant, friendly and professional, they are a credit to this establishment. Nothing to fault during our stay, thank you all, you are truly amazing and brought happiness to all of our family and friends. Keep doing what you do. Thank you Mark

Fantastic night and dinner for my daughters 21st birthday on sat 1st November. Amazing food, great service, lovely setting. The girl in charge of our party the whole night was phenomenal, she should be running the country!
