I HAVE TO WORK DURING MY STAY, IS THIS POSSIBLE?
The castle has a reliable fibre wifi throughout the castle and bedrooms.
There are plenty of relaxing and quiet spots throughout the castle with beautiful views out onto the Tay.
Are dogs allowed?
Due to severe damages in the past, dogs are no longer allowed at Birkhill Castle. We are however, happy to review this depending on the dog so please ask us about this.
Also, bear in mind that we are on an estate with horses so we insist dog owners respect this and keep them under control at all times. There are also frequent gun shots during the winter months on neighbouring estates.
