Paul | 9 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/b61c4206-51fa-457a-b154-bc6b7c40fa26.jpg?im_w=240 | 5 | 1 week ago | The location is stunning. Across the moors high in the distance is an imposing castle - that is your bed for the night! The restoration of the castle is still a work in progress, but the room is clean and comfy. It can be cold up there, but it is a real castle on the moors so that comes with the territory. David is a friendly guy, and you won't find a more interesting place to stay for miles. | |||

Manon | 10 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/bc032d68-fe15-4e85-8911-68999b3a3fa0.jpg?im_w=240 | 5 | 2 weeks ago | We spent a wonderful and unique night at Balintore Castle. During the tour, we discovered a huge and amazing renovation project. A real asset of the Airbnb, it's worth taking 1 or even 2 hours to immerse yourself in the castle's history. We also had a wonderful and nice time with Ryan the evening of our arrival. We highly recommend this Airbnb for a short break. With a little more progress on the renovations, we're sure that longer stays will be fabulous! | |||
Gaele | 4 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/User/original/1565cce8-46b7-43bc-8aa9-38a83ff1d89f.jpeg?im_w=240 | 5 | February 2025 | Game of Thrones meets Grand Designs - what a great adventure we had staying at Balintore. We spent a wonderful evening with the Laird himself, the Balintore Boys and 2 equally adventurous guests, a lovely couple from Finland. We kept ourselves warm and entertained with the delightful mixture of fevertrees blood orange soda mixed with Cairngorm gin and tales of our airbnb experiences interspersed with the poetic laments from the upcoming poet Jack. The charm of the castle comes from being able to sit on and be surrounded by antiques. Its like going to a national trust house and being allowed to sit on the sofa behind the barrier. Walking up those stairs is like walking back in time for real, not a structured, pandered to, packaged version. This place is for those who have imagination, creativity and whimsey and enjoy good company and a wee gin. | |||
Jade | 5 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | January 2025 | Fantastic stay in an amazing castle! Communication was excellent and our stay was perfect! | David | January 2025 | That for your lovely review. You will be pleased to hear we are currently increasing the number of showers in the castle. Originally, the whole castle shared a single bath! 🙂 |

Susan | 5 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | October 2024 | enjoyed the experience of staying in the castle and the history, would come back again. | |||
Craig | 8 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | October 2024 | We were so excited for this stay for many reasons and it lived up to them all! The tour David gave us was brilliant as we were very interested in the renovation of the property! We look forward to revisiting to see the ongoing progress. Ryan and his cooking was perfect for us! Great flavours, brilliant portions and all delivered with superb conversation and interaction. The remote location was just what we needed for 48 hours out of our busy lives to rest, reflect and reset. Keep up the brilliant work, we look forward to our next visit!!!!! | |||
Manouk | 9 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | October 2024 | Very special place to stay! Beautiful surroundings and rooms. David gave us an interesting tour around the castle. Thanks! | |||
Emily | 4 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | October 2024 | Brilliant stay at David’s castle the tour was just fantastic and such a brilliant insight into the castles renovation, we feel so lucky to have had this experience on our honeymoon. You have to take into account this castle is undergoing renovation so it’s not a 5 star castle stay but this is reflected in the price, we honestly feel so privileged to have stayed here and learnt about the history. A beautiful memory etched in our hearts! already planning our next stay! |
