Lovely estate. Staff were very courteous and professional. Geared towards weddings and short visits. Too bad stream at property not being utilized for trout fishing. Could be a sportsman paradise.

Feels like stepping back in time staying here. It was lovely and quiet and the grounds are beautiful. Dinner was fantastic.. we had mussels and filet. Both were very good! The tub was huge which is my favorite. A nice retreat from the bustle of Edinburgh, relaxing and romantic. We want to come back.

We booked this location incredibly last minute as we needed a place to sleep, that was close to the airport, before an early morning flight. And it completely exceeded expectations. The moment we pulled up, I was ecstatic! IT’S A CASTLE! Honestly every little girls dream to sleep in a castle. Our room was adorable with a canopy bed and the decorations were so well done. I felt like I was in a dream. While we were only there to sleep, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone in the future because it’s such an incredible place.

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.

We have stayed here three times now and will certainly be back. It is ideal for travelling with our dog; the staff fuss him, he gets to be with us in the dog-friendly mini dining-room and got his own sausage at breakfast. We found the evening dining room in the basement a bit tricky with a spiral staircase so the staff set a table for us on the ground floor. Huge comfy bed and plenty space in the rooms.
