Was really looking forward to staying here, unfortunately disappointed, I stayed in stable annex, deco and furniture dated and worn, walls so thin you could hear conversations in rooms next door both sides, I'm sure the lodge rooms are better, staff very helpful and castle, ground very nice, just shame about the room, I didn't get to see other rooms as they were full

What an amazing place to stay. Larnarch Castle is beautiful all around. If you have a chance to stay there he night- you’ll mainly have the grounds to yourself when all the tourist have left. The dinner inside the castle and the breakfast inside the old horse stable were a nice treat. Loved our stay and the views are incredible.

Loved our stay here in the converted stable. We didn't intend to attend the evening dinner, so glad we did, had a great time with 20 other guests. Would recommend this to anyone.

Our entire experience was faultless. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Our room was comfortable and elegant with stunning views (once the mist lifted in the morning. The dining experience was fabulous. The only thing that might have improved it would have been to have the drinks reception in a reception room so guests could have mingled. The next morning it was a joy to stroll around the beautiful grounds. I would totally recommend the hotel and the dining experience.

Great place!

Just fantastic! Staff were great. The location perfect. Breakfast very tasty. The only bad part was there was a wedding and at 1230am all of the others staying in the stables showed up drunk and without thinking there were other guests. After 30 minutes of hearing all the stupid stuff they were talking about, I finally went out and gracefully told them there were other guests staying there. They finally shut up.

Spent one wonderful night at Larnach Lodge while in Dunedin. While it’s a little far from town it makes up for it with its unique and picturesque setting. The room had a historic feel but also modernly equipped. Breakfast was delicious and being able to tour the castle afterwards before the public entered was a bonus.

Feel like royalty when you set foot into the room. The only downside is the deck and lounger need to be updated. The breakfast at Stable set the vibe for us. The staff here is very attentive and helpful.

Lovely stay!

Loved staying here! Waking up with a view of the entire city of Dunedin was incredible. The stay included breakfast in the morning (which was delicious) as well as entry into the castle and gardens. In addition, the staff was incredible and even stayed late for us to check-in after a flight delay. Would highly recommend
