Accomodation

Castle Rooms & Mini Manors
On Site

The castle hosts 24 bedrooms with 21 ensuites and the Mini Manors, located just 200m away from the castle, means we will have room for everyone to stay overnight on the castle grounds.

The cost of accommodation is at a discounted price for all guests as we would love to have you stay within the castle/close by for our special day. The flat rate for all guests staying at our venue is £220.00 per person for a 2 night stay minimum.

Breakfast is included on both mornings at the castle. Mini Manor guests will receive a breakfast hamper each morning and castle guests will be invited to the breakfast room for a Scottish Fry Up between 8am-10am.

Off Site

If accomodation at our venue isn’t for you, you are free to book your own accomodation off site at local BnBs/Hotels. There are several in Inverness just 20 minutes from the venue.

Please note that you will need to plan your own transport to and from the venue and will not be included in Castle or Mini Manor breakfasts.

Early RSVPs will help us sort & confirm rooms for you!

Things To Know

  • On the wedding day, please come in formal attire appropriate for an outdoor ceremony in Scotland.

    Kilts are encouraged! They are available to rent locally from multiple different providers like:

  • Late May is Spring in Scotland…and Scotland may be cold. As of May this year it’s averaging between 22-26°C. Please keep an eye on the weather and dress appropriately.

    There’s always a chance of rain in the Highlands but we have a Wet Weather Plan! There will be an indoor ceremony if it’s too wet.

  • Please no phones during the ceremony. This is a private moment for all invited and we want you all to look amazing in the photos. We have professionals to capture the moment and once the ceremony is over, you’re free to take photos, swipe on tinder or film drunken antics.

  • Whilst we adore your children, we don’t have the room for your little ones to join. So please make this an adult only few days! Children from immediate family only.

  • Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. However, if you wish to honour us with a gift, a cash gift would be welcome - but not expected.

    We really don’t want to fly back to New Zealand with fine china & silverware so save yourself the fuss and join us in celebrating!
