    Wonderful castle ! We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation. We were a group of 7 adults and 4 young children . We all felt we had lots of space to move around and yet we felt very cozy at the same time . We left the castle only twice to eat and walk around the local town but we mostly preferred to stay at the castle and enjoy the beautiful scenery and walks . The children adored the animals and had fun with the zip line and many other activities. Fabulous stay !Thank you Amy & Nik.

    Beautiful castle and area

    Castle is remote enough to enjoy trails, bird, lovely gardens and quiet-but close enough for shopping and pubs. Duchray Castle had plenty of room, gorgeous kitchen, sweet chickens providing breakfast and lovely hairy coos. Family had a great time and we highly recommend for family getaways!

    Delightful Stay at Duchray!

    Duchray Castle was fabulous! Charming accommodations, beautiful grounds. Secluded - but close to charming Aberfoyle. Property owner and manager very pleasant. Highly recommend this VRBO and hope we can return some day. - Family of 6 adults from Colorado, USA.

    Far beyond what we expected!

    We had the most amazing time! The castle is wonderful and exceeded our expectations. The kids loved exploring the property, playing in the game room, collecting eggs and playing with Nora(owners dog) we were all sad to leave.

    Beautiful Castle Experience

    The castle was perfect- clean, great location (you feel remote, but the town Aberfoyle is very close and quaint), beautiful and quiet. The history of the castle has been preserved well, but the castle has also been modernized for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to eat in, and they even have a chicken coop that you can take eggs from! They were delicious, and the birds were very friendly. Amy and her housekeeper Dana were wonderful! Thank you for a lovely stay! :)

    Freedom and fun at a family celebration

    I can’t fault this place which was the best of some amazing places we have stayed. The castle is beautifully appointed yet somehow friendly and welcoming. There is a surprise and a special touch in every room. We dined, walked the river, collected eggs and admired the cows. The kids swung and ran and played games. Everyone had just the best holiday.

    Queens in a Castle

    We were of group of 8 ladies celebrating our 60th birthday. Right from the moment we drove up the lane way we were in awe. The emotion continued as we entered the doorway we felt as if we had gone back in time! Our host Amy was fantastic, easily accessible and so quick to respond. The castle was spotless with all the amenities you could possible imagine.We would definitely recommend this storybook and picturesque adventure to everyone!

    Absolutely Perfect

    We just spent two weeks here with family and absolutely loved it. Amy was great about communicating with us, both before and during our stay.The hosts have thought of everything you might need. We loved the layout, we loved the small town of Aberfoyle, and we were in love with the location in the middle of the forest. So calm, lovely, and peaceful, but with hikes right out the door when we wished. We truly didn't want to leave when the two weeks were over. I can't say enough nice things about Duchray Castle and the hosts -- would LOVE to stay again! Highly recommend!

    An Incredible Scottish Experience

    An impressive place with a rich history. The Castle is spacious and beautifully furnished and the setting and grounds are lovely. The inside of the Castle is extremely comfortable and contains a modern kitchen, updated bathrooms and other nice amenities. The Castle was a perfect get away for my wife and I and our son, daughter in law, and our four grandchildren. Our grandchildren loved the property, hiking through the woods, riding the zipline, and collecting eggs from the chickens. The adults also had a wonderful time. Our family will have a wealth of memories from our stay at Duchray Castle. A great Scottish experience. As others have commented, it would be hard to top this experience and we definitely want to return! Kevin K Lakeland, Florida USA

    Wonderful unique property

    We had a family reunion at the castle and it was just perfect. My husband and I met up with our daughter, her husband and their three little children for a 6-day holiday. We also had a friend come and join us for a couple of nights. The castle is really great to stay in - it looks good (stylish) inside and is very comfortable. The bedrooms are reached by stone spiral staircases - one for each turret - which the 4 & 6 year old loved! The land is perfect for children to explore - chickens, highland cows, goats, a tyre swing, games room, river, etc. Also, within an hour's drive there are lots of other things to do - Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument, Sea Life, etc. We just had a wonderful time. I hope we revisit some day.

    Heavenly Castle in the Sky

    Duchray Castle was our base for touring Scotland the 2nd week of a 2-week trip to England & Scotland over Christmas and New Year’s, respectively. We could not have made a better selection for our family of 8 (husband & myself, 3 adult children + 2 spouses, & 18 month grandson). The castle itself is beautifully renovated and updated with much attention to detail and thankfully heated to perfection! Checkin was easy and everything was spotless and ready for us upon arrival. We were greeted by a fully decorated Christmas tree and bottle of Champagne ready for our New Year’s toast, both of which made us instantly feel so welcomed. The rooms are all furnished with care and comfort of guests in mind and the en-suites with their high-end fixtures & well-equipped kitchen were greatly appreciated after full days of long hikes and sight-seeing. The castle is a real castle with its interesting history associated with Rob Roy on a beautiful estate in the heart of Scotland, making a perfect base for exploring the local area and also short drives to Stirling, Loch Ness, Fort William/Ben Nevis, Edinburgh and so much more. Having toured Scotland many times, we had looked forward to introducing the rest of our family to its particular beauty & historic sites. Duchray Castle was the ideal venue for it! Many thanks to Amy for making us feel so at home and welcomed. And to Dana and your family helping us feed the coos! Do not hesitate to book Duchray— but please keep it our secret;^)

    Wonderful Family Vacation

    This was probably the highlight of our trip - staying in a wonderful, unique castle. We felt immersed history while enjoying all the modern conveniences of updated bathrooms, kitchen, tvs & wifi. The castle was very clean and beautifully furnished. The grounds were fun to explore and the game room was enjoyed. It would be hard to top this experience!

    Stunning !

    From the very first glimpse through the trees on the scenic approach drive Duchray starts to deliver its magic. This is just the beginning as it continues room by room once inside this impressive property. We had a family Christmas/birthday celebration break here and it was just perfect. The owners could not have been more helpful and the housekeeping staff were exceptional. Highlight for the grandkids was a daily trip through the grounds to feed the chickens, gather fresh eggs and visit the Highland cattle ! 5 Star visit.

    Castle Duchray is exquisite in every way, simply beautiful.

    We had the most amazing holiday at Castle Duchray. The castle is so welcoming, we felt very at home and so comfortable - we didn’t want to leave! The grounds are exceptional, so safe for children and always something new and exciting to explore. We had such a happy holiday and we cannot wait to go back!

    Duchray Castle is an absolute gem!

    Duchray Castle has got to be the best self-catering accommodation in Scotland, if not the whole of the UK. An amazing setting, warm and comfortable, with a choice of comfy sitting rooms and we’ll equipped kitchen. Outdoors there are walks a plenty and lots for the children too including fresh eggs from the resident hens. Though not actually on site, our hosts Amy and Nikita couldn’t have been more attentive; making themselves readily available by phone and calling and messaging during our stay to check everything was OK. That’s in addition to the housekeeper who was available on site should we have needed anything. Superb! We had the best few days ever.

    Beautiful Scottish Holiday

    Great holiday in Scotland. Great outdoors experiences. Go Ape at Aberfoyle excellent. Great zip lines. Also enjoyed cycling local tracks, exploring Loch Lomond and Gorge Walking. Castle very beautiful. Enjoyed collecting eggs, stroking Douglas the Highland Cow and playing in the river. We will definitely come back to explore Scotland again.
