Drumtochty Castle

Drumtochty Castle

(4 reviews)

Came for a wedding and also stayed 3 nights. Beautiful Scottish castle located about 40 min from…read moreAberdeen airport. Best to grab a taxi from the airport to take you here. Drivers know that it is a common event space so they know how to get there, as it's kinda out there. Wedding venue - stunning. The atmosphere, backdrop, and like everything honestly was really stunning. Historic chapel is about a 10-15 min walk down the road and was a beautiful setting for an intimate wedding. Reception and other events were held in the castles common spaces and well executed by the castle team. Food, overall, was solid. There were some dishes that were much better than others, and only a couple dishes that were just okay. However, the team is very friendly and accomodating, and essentially advised us to treat the castle like out own home. Grounds also featured a few activities like scotch tasting and clay shooting, which were fun to partake in and unique to have available. Lodging venue - really nice venue overall for lodging. Castle is split into main building as well as east and west wings. There are countless bedrooms so you can definitely fit a bunch of people inside. Our room was west wing at the top. Very large with a comfortable bed and full closet to hang things up. We peaked at other rooms and they all varied - some were small, others medium.

A billion stars for Drumtochty. Everything about our wedding was a hundred times better than we…read moreexpected it to be. The afternoon tea, the waitstaff, the food, the castle itself: they all blew us away. We had exactly one major issue and that's that the hot water went out the first night in the main castle, but we got it fixed in the morning and the wings still had hot water for everyone to use. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfectly executed and I'd recommend booking here to anyone who was looking. The team was top notch and everything was SO easy and smooth. None of our friends and family have had such a smooth experience with their weddings. Get married here. 1000/10. It's so amazing in person if you can't visit before booking just save the surprise for later. It's worth it.

Our stay at Old Manor Hotel was outstanding. We were generously upgraded( nice surprise) to a…read morelarge, beautiful room with a deck overlooking the golf course and the Firth of Forth. Much to our surprise, our reservation had a glitch and we found out we were booked for only 1 instead of 2 nights. Mo, the manager, was more than gracious. They had no availability for us to extend our stay but she and her staff worked to make sure we had lovely accommodations elsewhere on night 2. While we were there, everything was perfect. Need ice? Delivered in an instant. Dinner and breakfast in their dining room ( more beautiful views) were delicious. We recommend this hotel highly...on a scale of 1-10, definitely a 10!. Mo and her staff are superb at making you feel welcome and very well taken care of. Only regret, despite our wonderful alternate accommodations, we wish we could have spen two nights at this great guesthouse.

The hotel sits in the splendid East Neuk which is situated just a short 15 minute drive outside of the beautiful university town of St Andrews, commanding a superb view of the coastline and surrounding areas. The views from the hilltop setting mean guests staying at the hotel enjoy panoramic views over the Firth of Forth and the splendid Lundin Golf Course. Our hotel is ideally situated close to so many wonderful places and where there is so much to do and enjoy. The hotel boasts 23 rooms all of which have their own en-suites bathrooms and many of our rooms offer gorgeous views out to sea and along the coastline. The hotel is the perfect location for weddings and other functions whether the event is held in the beautiful hotel grounds or in our Lundie or Largo Suites with ample parking available on-site.

I've been to Fat Sam's a lot, with friends to go party, for shows ( I saw the Charlatan's here not…read moreto long ago) or for my University's Christmas Hall party. I like Fat Sam's though not enough to give it multiple stars. Some times the crowd is rather disappointing in terms of just going out though and it costs nearly £5 to get here and back from St. Andrews so I don't like doing it all the time. I have to say though that it is nice for the gigs that I have been to here. It's smaller so you feel like you are literally right on top of the live preformance which I happen to really like. The Christmas party we had here was pretty ace though. We rented out the whole private section of Fat Sam's and it was fun. Every one was fairly pissed but Fat Sam's was pretty cool about it, though the drinks were rather hit or miss. It's suppose to be one of the busiest clubs in scotland but sometimes there are off nights as with any clubs. They are pretty student friendly which is nice and they have AMAZING FOAM Parties which don't happen all that often in the states. All in all not the same as some of the raging clubs I have been to in London but it tries hard and for that I give it 4 stars!

£8 to get in for a normal Saturday club night but you are at least getting 3 distinct rooms for…read moreyour money. Massive queue for the cloakroom unfortunately & in general it looked a bit tired compared to the last time I was there, albeit that was at least 2 years ago. Also a complete nightmare at kicking out time with everyone trying to get into the one kebab shop beside the exit.

There's probably more on offer but I've just not managed to see it all yet! I've had the fortunate experience to perform here with a dance group (Code Butterfly) a few years ago and we danced all around the space and the audience followed us. There is an amazing network of old tunnels that surround the main hall and maze of staircases that the normal Joe Blogs wouldn't be able to explore unless they came to the show! Blessed! That aside, the cafe is cheap and they serve a lovely brunch at the weekends. There is plenty of local information for groups and community happenings. The perfect place to go to find activities to do or groups to join if you are new to the city. It's a beautiful, quirky venue in an original Drill Hall. Staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a homely, nourishing, homemade, community feel about the place. Child friendly venue, although at the same time it's not over-run with noisy screaming kids. Out Of The Blue's sister venue is Bongo Club, which explains some of OOTBs ethos. The only downside I'd say about OOTB is it's a bit chilly, they do try to heat the space with heat lamps etc, but it must be hard to heat such a vast space. Just wrap up warm and grab a hot chocolate and you'll soon heat up! :)

There's a big central area that usually houses some sort of art exhibition, there's a little dance studio, and there are lots of small offices around the sides let to local businesses. And there's a small cafe that does reasonable coffee and is quite popular at lunchtimes. It's an interesting space and worth remembering about if you're down this way. The cafe service could perhaps be faster when they're busy, but they do a good veggieburger and there are some nice comfy sofas to sit on. A few years ago they first used it as a Fringe venue and it's a great space for that. They often have concerts and other small events on at other times. But it's always worth popping into if you're in the area to see what's happening as there's always something going on, and if you're lucky (and it's quiet) it's a great refuge from the bustle of the city in which to unwind for a while.
