- CConnor and Elise03/08/2024A fairytale wedding come trueA fairytale wedding come trueOur wedding at Augill Castle was everything we could have dreamed of and much more! Both Wendy and Simon, plus their fabulous team, went out of their way to make our entire wedding weekend so special. The food and staff at Augill were outstanding. From the moment we arrived to after the event, there was no request too big and no question went unanswered. "Thank you" feels like much too small of a token of gratitude to match the immense appreciation we have for Augill Castle.

- TToni03/12/2018I couldn't have found a better venue!I couldn't have found a better venue!A perfect venue for a small gathering in a magical castle, all for you and your guests. We booked the castle from Friday afternoon until Sunday lunchtime. This included afternoon tea and the friday, and dinner. Breakfast both mornings, cooked or continetal - totally your choice. Wedding breakfast, reception dinner/tea. All of the food choices are yours to decide, but Wendy was great at helping guide us through making our decisions. The bridal suite has it's own "wing" with a huge roll top bath and a massive four-poster bed - I felt like a proper princess! - There's enough rooms at the castle to accommodate around 30 guests. All the staff made the whole weekend run smoothly and were friendly and helpful. There's a self-serve bar at one end of the castle where you write what you have in a book and it gets added to your bill, which meant no-one needs to carry cash. there's even a little cinema, with proper cinema seats. There is also perfect outdoor space for more amazing photos too. My husband and a number of guests even went back the following year for our first anniversary.
