We've had multiple "teas for two" events throughout Scotland. The tier level pastries offered here could have been of fresher quality. A little on the dry side, but still tasty. Be sure to arrive in summer during peak flower blossom season. Really beautiful gardens. Lots of inspiration!! Gorgeous, reasonably priced flowers and veg for sale. Extremely good tea rooms with excellent service. Visited for the West Highland Games, a very enjoyable occasion watching all the regular Scottish games but inclusive of a Jousting tournament (including the unseating of knights but all done in a safety conscious way). We absolutely LOVED Gordon Castle’s walled garden and cafe. We just happened to stop when we saw the sign and boy were we glad we found this place. One of our favorite stops on our 2-week Scotland trip. The cafe is adorable and the food delectable, but the garden was the cherry on top. It is magnificent how they have restored it and the whole experience made us so happy. We could have spent more time here just ogling every inch, but alas we had to move on to our next stop. Do not miss this place! A true hidden gem. Kudos to its creators! Went there for a Christian conference. The Gordon Estate is very suitable for such an event. Lots of space, also for camping, nice café. Great experience at the Refuel gathering. Went to cafe. Ordered two cakes and two drinks. Simple you think. Wrong drinks and unbelievably the wrong cakes!! None of which is particularly important except it cost £16 for this privilege and more unbelievable I was asked if I wished to add a tip !!!! 🤷♂️ So beautiful place but atrocious service and what cakes we got were absolutely tasteless. We have just completed the most amazing few days at Kennels Lodge on the Gordon Castle estate. Our group of 10-3 families- were beyond impressed with the size, decor, amenities and sheer beauty of the lodge and the surrounding area. The catering facilities were excellent and the teenagers loved the games and space as well as the close proximity to the village. Our two doggy companions were also delighted with their own enclosed garden. Highly, highly recommended. Beautiful place and the food looked lovely - however we had a terrible experience with service. We visited with 2 young kids after a walk and planning to have coffee & cake (it was 11.45am). We sat at a table outside and ordered but there were so many wasps there. We asked the server how bad the wasps were to which she responded “I’d say considerably.” Rain also came on. Despite there being lots of tables still available, they were quite reluctant to let us sit inside because we weren’t eating lunch and it would be getting busier. However with 2 little children we didn’t want to be out with the wasps, so they did give us a seat. All good, and we wouldn’t be too long anyway. However this is the worst bit!! As we were leaving I took my daughter to the toilet. I didn’t have a nappy on me but we were just leaving so I did her vest up but left her dungarees unbuttoned since I was literally heading out, about to put a nappy on her in the car (and if you have toddlers - you know those poppers are a nightmare to do up). Hardly running about naked. As we walked out I went to say thank you to the server at the bar, but she was pointing to my daughter, looking grumpy and speaking to the other server. So unwelcoming!!! THEN as we were leaving a group of people, some of which had disabilities, went to go in for coffee and cake. We overheard them being told they couldn’t come in if they weren’t having lunch. All felt so unwelcoming and actually rude. Shame as it’s such a beautiful looking space.
