Castleton House Hotel, Angus, Scotland Vacations, Honeymoons and Luxury Travel Packages

Castleton is a privately run country house hotel in glorious Tayside, with a well earned reputation as one of the best places in Scotland for food ambience and service.

We have six beautiful spacious bedrooms each individually decorated to the highest standard, with the very latest fabrics and furnishings.
We also offer award winning cuisine, having been awarded three AA rosettes for 2005 and 2006, grouping Castleton amongst Scotland's elite restaurants, and currently holds the highest grading awarded to an Angus hotel.
Castleton is also happy to host your weddings, parties and special events. We are best suited to the smaller and more intimate occasions of up to fifty guests. The hotel also holds a licence permitting civil marriage and partnership ceremonies. The willingness and enthusiasm of everyone at Castleton ensures that the hotel is flexible enough to adapt from a wedding to a corporate meeting with ease.
Castleton House Hotel Accommodations
The comfort continues with six beautiful and spacious bedrooms. All are en-suite and decorated to the highest standard, with the very latest fabrics and furnishings complemented with beautiful antique furniture. It goes without saying that all the amenities you would expect are provided, and with the same quality that pervades the entire hotel with no detail too small.
Castleton House Hotel Cuisine
Castleton has been awarded 3 AA rosettes again, grouping it amongst Scotland's elite restaurants for the third year running, and currently holds the highest grading awarded to an Angus hotel.
It is Castleton's policy to be welcoming and hospitable at all times, so for this reason we do not impose a dress code, we employ 100% local staff and despite the accolades keep our prices low. We believe a fine dinner is more than just great food, it is the service and atmosphere too. We must be right, because it is appreciation of this that fills our guest book time after time after time.
Our sources are as close to home as we can get them, and none can be closer than our own vegetable garden and free range chickens. Castleton is particularly proud to serve home reared Tamworth pork, raised on our own ground and fed on windfall apples from the orchard and home grown vegetables all washed down with Strathmore spring water that naturally fills their water trough - what luxury. Guests are welcome to meet the pigs and take them for a walk through the woods, they scamper about and will roll over for a tummy scratch to melt even the hardest hearts.
Castleton House Hotel Special Occasions and Treats
Sometimes it is the little extra thoughts that make the world of difference, and if we can help please ask.
Some ideas are:
- A selection of Castleton's homemade chocolate truffles
- Strawberries or Champagne ready in the room on arrival

- Hampers filled with fine food and wine to take on a romantic pic-nic

Falconry : Falconry can be practiced here in the hotel grounds, Elite Falconry have a wonderful collection of majestic hunting birds including Hawks, Falcons and Eagles. Enjoy a days hunting out on nearby hills and wonder at the power and skill of these fantastic creatures.
Racing at Perth : for a wonderful family day out spend a day at Perth races, there are meetings held from April to end of September. This beautiful course is only 25 minutes from the hotel, with an easy route that jumps the queue!!
Fishing, Shooting & Stalking : The area around the hotel is amongst the finest for these field sports giving challenge and success without the bleak remoteness. We can put you in touch with local agents connected with all the local estates. We are fortunate to have good relations with local landowners one in particular who is happy for Castleton guests to enjoy his beat for some very competitively priced fishing.
Walking : Walking in the beautiful Angus glens is very special experience, there is also the long crescent beach of Lunan bay to enjoy and the cliff walk at Montrose. Thanks to friendly local staff some of the best information can be gleaned from the hotel staff, but for the more dedicated walkers try www.taysidehilltours.com.
Skiing : is only 45 minutes away at Glenshee but this gives plenty of time to avoid the queues. Skis and equipment can be easily hired from Blairgowrie on your way.
