We got married at Auchen Castle in May 2006, we found that they promised us the world but failed to meet expectations. Minor details on the day were not attended to even though their wedding co-ordinator had agreed to certain things. The beer pumps ran out mid way through our wedding reception. The receptionist/manager Yvonne was not at all helpful... more

We got married at Auchen Castle in July and had the most amazing day! The staff did a fantastic job making sure our rooms were ready early, and everything was perfect! the food, the bedrooms, the service, everything was excellent! It was a beautiful setting for the wedding and the gorgeous weather certainly made it extra special. We would recommend... more

We booked a last minute stay at Auchen Castle for 15 August having looked at it on its own website. We got a great deal of £59.95 for a 'Lodge Room' but then checked out Trip Advisor (wrong way round me thinks) so changed it for a higher class room (£74.95), which included full scottish breakfast. We ended up with... more

The Lodge rooms are terrible - located in a pre-fab annex next to the castle. Room ok but carpet was dirty. The entrance/stairs and landing to the annex was dirty and musty. The lodge rooms are not 4 star and certainly not worth £136 to stay on a Friday night.I have never been so disappointed. I stayed there 2 nights... more

We revisited the castle for one night after getting married there in September 2006 and again found the hotel and staff to be excellent. All the castle rooms have character and the hotel grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The food, both dinner and breakfast, was fantastic as it has been over the last three years that we have been going. There... more

After booking a night in one of the suites via LateRooms (£95 reduced from £235, B&B) earlier in the day, we had a lovely night at the Auchen Castle Hotel, although we were glad to not have paid the full rate. As things currently stand, this is certainly not a hotel worth that amount of money per night. With some... more

We booked the hotel through Late rooms. com and so got quite a good offer. We must say that we had just stayed at Castle Venlaw in Peebles previously - which we were told has just become the sister hotel as the management team from Castle Venlaw have just taken over at Auchen Castle - we loved Castle Venlaw and... more

We had our perfect wedding day at Auchen Castle in June.. Our wedding coordinator Elizabeth and Heather (who was on duty on the day) made sure that everything went so smoothly and in order.. The garden, the view, the food, the service, the ceremony.. everything was perfect. And we definitely recommend the piper on the day..The castle itself does make... more

I have to echo the author of the previous review ('Rip off hotel') - I'm very unimpressed. I also attended a wedding at the 'castle' which was very nice and went very well. However, don't be tempted to stay the night. When we arrived we were told that our room had a problem with the toilet (which I think was... more
