"Leslie Castle has been on our bucket list since 2018. We are thrilled that we were finally able to get there. The Castle and grounds are in immaculate condition. Nicola and John have done a masterful job with keeping the feel of the place authentic to the history. The rooms were incredible. Modernized but still feeling appropriate to the heritage.

"Exceptional in every respect. A beautiful house. An enchanting location. Fabulous breakfast. But exceeding all of that, such wonderful hospitality. Thank you Joyce and Garry for your warm, generous and kind welcome and for your support during our stay. We’ll remember our couple of days with you for a very long time, and hope to visit again should we ever return to that magical part of the world. "

"Nothing but positive things to say about Sweet Donside Cabins. Cabins and facilities were spotlessly clean, TV beds very spacious and comfortable, with the attention to detail excellent. Hot tubs were clean and well maintained. Lots of extra touches including a welcome basket."

"Excellent place to stay would highly recommend. I will definitely go back "

"Lovely peaceful stay at the Wee Snug, really spacious and loved being able to rotate the TV to watch TV in bed and relax! Games were so fun, shower is really powerful.
