This was unlike no other stay we have had. Once in your life you have to stay in a deserted castle. The kitchen wing has been renovated and you stay here. If you like luxury then this may not be what you are looking for but as an experience this was great fun and families would love it. The site and situation is wonderful with excellent views and walks.

What an interesting, magical place! Yes, the Castle proper is undergoing restoration, and yes, castles are cold and drafty and damp, however the old kitchen area has been turned into an air BNB with a kitchen, bedrooms and a really cool bathroom! Luckily giant, fluffy, warm blankets are provided on each bed so it feels like you're snuggling under a giant pillow of mashed potatoes!!! We didn't get cold at all as we slept. I'd recommend getting firewood for the living room, though!

Balintore sits in a lofty position with extensive views to the south; it is undergoing restoration after many years of ongoing decay. Some rooms have been refurbished but is the unrestored rooms which are the most telling. The work still to be undertaken is considerable yet the owners commendable enthusiasm may yet prove to be the saving of this old Angus gem.

Unique location to stay. The old storage and kitchen wing are nicely renovated into a guest accommodation, with 3 bedrooms. If you have the chance, visit to the rest of the castle is a great experience. The owner is very friendly and will passionately tell you about the progress of the restoration.
