Stonefield Castle Hotel Review

The best hotel choice in the area occupies a commanding position on 24 hectares (59 acres) of wooded grounds and luxurious gardens 3km (1 3/4 miles) outside Tarbert. The Stonefield, with turrets and a steeply pitched roof, was built in the 19th century by the Campbells. The well-appointed guest rooms come in a variety of sizes. Some family suites are available as well as some four-poster rooms. The hotel's renowned gardens feature plants from all over the world and are one of the best repositories for more than 20 species of tree-size Himalayan rhododendrons, which in April are a riot of color. Book well in advance because Stonefield has a large repeat crowd.

The kitchen staff does its own baking, and meals feature produce from the hotel's garden.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; Wi-Fi (free)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
