Any Castle hotels In Scotland?

Mom always wants to sleep in one Castle. I made it happen twice in France but have no idea if there are any nice ones that don't cost $500 a night.

Any personal experience staying in a Castle in the UK?

Yes. Comlongon Castle near Dumfries on the Scottish Borders. We had 1 night there in a lovely spacious suite. Cost 189GBP per night. Great experience. Beautiful gardens.

Check the website celticcastles.com. They list the prices and locations for castle hotels. You can look for one that will fit with your itinerary.

Thank you everyone.

Looks like we are going to try Lumley Castle that was suggested in another thread but I will keep looking into all those mentioned cause we might want to stay in 2 or 3.....

I want to thank all who took the time to post.

South of Inveraray is Stonefield Castle Hotel in Tarbert (on the border between Argyll and Kintyre).

I reviewed it last year in the Reviews section of this site. It's affordable and I think the nicest lodging in the area. However, it was never an actual castle in the medieval sense; it was built as an aristocrat's country house in 1837. It did remind me of a scaled-down Downton Abbey (which, I know, is actually Highclere Castle in Newbury, west of London).

Thank you all for the suggestions. Will map them all out.
