Every minor detail taken care of. I spent 4 wonderful days as a guest of a member. ( a dear friend) I didn't see the bill so can't comment on value for money. However I would expect to pay a lot as it was the best. The grounds and the buildings are so beautiful, I was there in June, there... More

We were fortunate to be guests at someone's 40th birthday, which meant we didnt have to pay the bill or join the club so I cant comment on value for money. This kind of luxury does not come cheap as is probably reserved for those who are very well off indeed. The castle is very comfortable and well run, the... More

This is a private and very exclusive club which you can visit once, then need to join if you want to return. This is undoubtedly the best country house in the UK, if you are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to stay at Skibo, do not turn it down. The service, quality and atmosphere is second to none.

This has to be seen to be believed. An absolute dream to stay here, something very special about the entire place, very difficult to put in to words that do it justice. If you can go...go don't think twice. Made all the better by some amazing people that work there.
