Activities Testimonials

“The feedback has been exceptional all-round. Everyone has commented on how much they enjoyed the activities and how helpful the instructors were. In all cases everyone came in with pretty much zero skills or knowledge and the instructors helped people learn, or, in the case of tastings and falconry, shared a huge amount of information – everyone came away surprised at how much they’d learnt and how much they’d enjoyed themselves at the same time…

“We’ve found all the instructors great fun, engaging and knowledgeable whatever the activity that we’ve done.”

Guy Powell, Pina Vida Software. See their story.

“The guests absolutely loved their event and were super impressed. A special Winton cocktail was even mixed at the end of the gin masterclass. The staff were very helpful and professional – Winton Castle delivered in all areas.

“Every aspect of the event ran as smoothly as possible. The group was on an extremely tight schedule so having everything run like clockwork was definitely a major achievement. The group was on time for all the activities and enjoyed every moment at the castle. So, a massive thank you to everyone involved!”

“Julie [from Winton] was amazing at guiding us through our day. It was well organized, prepared and run. The range of mini Highland Games activities was impressive too and the barbecue lunch was outstanding! We had really good fun!”

“I just want to say a huge thank you for having us to Winton Estate on Friday. The whole day was absolutely superb and the gentlemen who taught us couldn’t have been more patient and helpful. Our guests have all remarked on how great a day it was and in such a beautiful setting as well!

“The day wouldn’t have been such a success without your help and we really appreciate how well organised it was.

“We will definitely be back!”

Thea Davies, Taylor Wimpey Strategic Land

“What can I say about the venue it was truly tremendous, the food was delicious, the staff were delightful, the castle itself was inspiring never mind the grounds which were such a haven of tranquillity. Catherine, thank you for choosing and feeling this was the place for us to re-unite again, it certainly made a special day even more special”.

NHS Therapists

“Thanks for everything. The guys and I really enjoyed the experience. Each activity really brought out the competitive spirit in us, some more than others. The staff and instructors were all very accommodating and made us feel very welcome.

“A few comments captured from the team; ‘Absolutely smashed it’. ‘Never knew I’d enjoy myself so much, all the activities were great….loved it!’

Luke, Group from London

“Thanks to you for the warm welcome and excellent arrangements on the 26th. I have heard only positive feedback from the entire team, making the day a resounding success. Many mentioned that thanks to the activity, it was one of the best annual conferences they have attended. I think the challenging weather was actually a plus for our group.”

William Reay, Global Marketing Manager, Kuraray, EVAL Europe N.V.

“Everything worked so well that it is hard to be critical… It was great to be in a unique place as opposed to a hotel chain and this was complemented by the very personal service and locally sourced food… The venue is incredible, the service, flexibility and food were all second to none and would not be out of place in a luxury hotel. I really hope that Selex Galileo use Winton House again.”

Steven Sadler, Selex Galileo (Team-building event)

“The Highland games was fantastic, the house gave a homely/relaxed feeling to our business meeting… allowed people to network comfortably over a tasty lunch.”

“I enjoyed the whisky tasting. Even though I never usually drink whisky, I could easily get used to the one I tasted. (dark colour, marvellous flavour, very old and certainly very expensive!).”
