Woukd highly recommend Ernespie House Hotel

We got married at The Ernespie House Hotel in September 2026. Shashank and Tammy, the owners of the hotel, were absolutely amazing! We live in Cheshire but wanted to get married in Scotland and the Ernespie was just perfect for us. It’s a beautiful building with breathtaking grounds and views. Our bridal suite was so spacious with the bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom with a free standing bath and seperate shower. The function room is a really good size too. Shashank arranged the celebrant, photographer, piper and DJ. He was so helpful and took a lot of the stress from us. All of the bedrooms are lovely and functional and the breakfast was very tasty with a great variety. We got married in the lounge of the hotel with a big open fire and the photos really showed the character of the building. Everyone is so friendly and I would recommend the photographer, celebrant, DJ and piper too. I would highly recommend The Ernespie House Hotel. It’s the perfect place to get married and the price to get married there is very competitive.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
