Fantastic hotel in the countryside

Excellent hotel , with lots of charm and character, outdoor seating was great in the gardens and bar is very comfortable and cosy. Restaurant was very nice and have yet to sample their afternoon tea. The staff were extremely professional and very helpful and i would highly recommend staying here

Outstanding hotel

This hotel truly has a wow factor. Impressive from the moment you arrive. Michelle made the check in a delight. Perfect combination of professional and friendly. The room was incredible. It was a true castle experience. The house keeping staff added a level of excellence. Both dinner and breakfast were perfect. This is a property not to be missed.

6/10 Good

Its a Castle!

Booked a 1 night stay here whilst working away. Nice big hotel as youd expect being a castle, plenty of parking & great views around the large grounds. Room was spacious & comfy. Only real downside for me was the food, i had haddock, chips & mushy peas. Haddock was small, the peas felt like they were tinned peas mashed with a fork. Portion size along with price & then to find out theyd also stuck a service charge on the bill make it hard to recomend eating here. Overall id recomend a stay here, however id probably take a drive out & eat elsewhere.

The views from the room was amazing. The only question I would ask why my room was more expensive for the second night? Room 301

Roddy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was beautiful! The castle is stunning, including the surrounding grounds. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique experience. My only 2 caveats: there’s weak cell signal within the hotel (but there is WiFi) and the location is a bit out of the way if you’re mainly sightseeing in the city centre. Uber will be rude about coming out here; one tried to guilt us into tipping more, claiming we had put the wrong address into our app. We preferred to use the taxi service the hotel is partnered with; Derek was incredible. The prices are nearly the same but the manners are much better.

Amazing place to stay. Room was lovely, bed very comfortable and staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Perfect spot it you don't want to stay in the city. Ubers and taxis into Edinburgh are easy to arrange. Was upgraded to the Castle Suite and absolutely adored our stay. Highly recommend.
