We were blessed with the lovely autumn weather and can’t wait to see all the photos now.
Thank you for letting our family use your magnificent home and for making us so welcome yet giving us “ free run”, the tips on cooking with the aga were vital!
Your housekeeper and Gavin the butler were beyond helpful particularly with my elderly father.
Your beautiful home and castle are now part of my family’s history and we made so many happy memories there, thank you!

The PERFECT experience
There is not enough words in my dictionary to describe the PERFECT experience we had at Cluny Castle. We are from Israel, and we decided to get married in Scotland, which is close to our hearts. We brought all of our family & close friends to stay at Cluny Castle for a whole week (26 people, 7 days), where the wedding took place.

Make the long story short: ALL of the guests said this was the ultimate experience of their life, the castle rooms are AMAZING, and the service we got from Fiona, Jill, John and the other staff was 10 out of 10. And most important: The wedding exceeded expectations in every possible way. In my opinion, and after I checked many venues, Cluny Castle is the top venue in Aberdeenshire and maybe in entire Scotland.
So THANK YOU Cluny Castle. We will visit again for sure in our anniversary.
