Unprepossessing outside. Lounge closed but public bar open & lively. Everyone seemed gobsmacked that we were walking the ACP. Even more that we'd swam both days, and amazed that I'd skinny dipped. Customers & barmaid pointed us to the beer garden, but in a friendly way. The BG was v basic, just a yard. But the beer was good.

This was such a pleasant surprise. We were staying in Glenapp Castle and expected traditional fine dining in the main building, but not a Michelin-quality modern restaurant in the grounds. I was sceptical at first and had to be convinced by my partner to try this place, but I was certainly glad I did! The atmosphere on arrival is beautiful - you have a welcome canapes and drink in a green house area with pools, fresh growing herbs and other greenery around you. It was very special. Afterwards, you are treated to a fantastic, modern cuisine dinner that is exceptional with an excellent selection of wines. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in the Ballantrae area. Just lovely!

My husband and I discovered this gem of a restaurant whilst out for a run during the sunny weather of last week. We were unaware of the early bird dining between 3-4pm and went in at 3.50.pm. The restaurant was quite busy but we were seated immediately by very pleasant waiting staff. Whilst waiting for drinks we perused the menu which had a vast array of choices and included pork, chicken, fish and beef as well as daily specials for the amazing price of £24.95 for two courses or £28.95 for three. When the food arrived it was well presented, and extremely tasty. I chose the grenadine sliced pear and prawns Marie Rose salad to start, and my husband had the smoked salmon and prawns both of which were excellent. For mains we had the chicken breast in a creamy mushroom sauce and the braised beef in a red wine sauce. Both were delicious and came with steamed mixed veg and boiled potatoes and a separate helping of chips. We were quite full after that but my husband asked if he could take a profiterole dessert with us and the staff were only too happy to organise this. The bill was very reasonable and we left the restaurant knowing we would definitely be returning in the near future. 5 stars all round.

This Hotel advertised that it has a restaurant, but on arrival discovered that there is no restaurant, so no evening meals or bar available. Only self service continental breakfast in the rooms with uht milk. Very disappointed.

Glenapp Castle präsentiert sich auf seiner Website mit einem atmosphärischen Promotionfilm, der Weite und gepflegte Tradition suggeriert. Das Anwesen gehört zur Relais&Chateaux Vereinigung und ist für seine Küchenleistung von AA mit 3 Rosettes ausgezeichnet. Damit zählt es zu den Top 40 Schottlands. Alles sprach dafür, eine Reservierung zum Abendessen zu tätigen. Die 30 minütige Anfahrt endete zunächst unverhofft an einem verschlossenen Tor, wofür es gute Gründe geben mag. Statt einer freundlichen Begrüßung kam aus der Gegensprechanlage eine Ansage vom Band: „ Wir sind zurzeit nicht erreichbar. Bitte probieren Sie es später noch einmal.“ Ein weiterer Versuch nach angemessener Wartezeit brachte das gleiche Ergebnis. Das reicht normalerweise, einen Haken hinter die Angelegenheit zu machen und umzudrehen. Dennoch entschieden wir uns, dem Haus noch eine Chance zu geben, und benutzten unser Telefon. Auch hier landeten wir auf einem Sprachcomputer, was uns wenigstens ermöglichte, nach automatisiertem Weiterverbinden doch noch eine menschliche Stimme zu erreichen. Solch ein Vorgehen lässt jegliche Professionalität vermissen und gestattet keine Erklärung. Selbst bei Personalmangel steht der herzliche Kontakt ganz im Sinne der sprichwörtlichen schottischen Gastfreundschaft an erster Stelle und kann durch entsprechende technische Ausstattung von jedem Ort aus bewerkstelligt werden. Was ferner ärgerlich aufstößt ist fehlende Transparenz. Was sich seit Jahren auf der Insel breit gemacht hat ist eine letztlich doch nicht so ganz freiwillige Abgabe für den Service, was deswegen überrascht, da zuvor die Bedienung inklusive war und vom Gast durch ein Trinkgeld ergänzt werden konnte. Das Thema ist immer noch umstritten. Vorbildliche Restaurants weisen auf diese „Discretionary Service Charge“ und deren Höhe vorab hin, so dass der Gast entscheiden kann, ob er dort überhaupt einkehren möchte. Ein geläufiger Aufpreis ist 12,5 %. Dem hohen und besonders qualifizierten Personal im gehobenen Segment wird dadurch Rechnung getragen, dass das Speisen hier an sich schon teurer ist als in einem Gastropub und sich daraus, auch durch den Genuss von Wein, ein absolut weit höherer Betrag für den Service ergibt. Hier in Glenapp Castle erfährt der Gast erst nach der Bitte um die Rechnung von einem vorgehaltenen Tablet, dass sich sein Verzehr um 20 Prozent verteuert. Dieser Betrag ist der Höhe nach aufgrund unserer hier gemachten Erfahrungen mit dem Service und auch im landesweiten Vergleich bei weitem nicht gerechtfertigt. Bei den aufgeführten Kritikpunkten handelt es sich nicht um individuelle Ausrutscher an einem turbulenten Tag, sondern um fehlende Führung. Die Küche konnte das nicht ganz ausgleichen und hinterließ einen soliden Eindruck. Die Einschätzung, ob dieses gastronomische Erlebnis wirklich zu besten Schottlands zählt, bedarf sicherlich mehrerer Besuche.

This is a great find! The pub is a community buy out and is manned by volunteers and committee members, if your in this area drop in and support a great cause. Highly recommended.
