Top Borthwick Castle Hotel Reviews

Melville Castle

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to stay in a true castle in Scotland. This is the place. The decor is out of this world gorgeous. The rooms were clean and so pretty! The grounds were amazing with walking trails that included a foot bridge over a creek to a beautiful forrest trail. The staff were truly so kind and helpful. We had the breakfast and it was delicious. The pastries, hot breakfast, cereal, muffins, juices, bread and everything else were all so yummy. We absolutely loved our stay here. I cannot recommend enough."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely superb hotel, stunning interior, fitting modern amenities in with the historic interior design. Excellent on site restaurant with the exceptional waiter. The food was excellent especially the venison casserole with broccoli and then the chocolate chilli for dessert 🍨. Not forgetting the superb breakfast."

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"I arrived very late. The staff were so friendly, and upgraded me from a single to a double room, I think because the single had gone to someone else. The bed was super comfy, I've never slept in a hotel room with such a comfy mattress before. The room was a bit run down, but clean enough. The breakfast was very basic, but good enough, and again the staff were very kind and helpful offering cups of tea or coffee. Very impressed for a two star hotel at the price I paid"

Chestnut Cottage - a charming traditional stone cottage with 2 bedrooms on Arniston Estate

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was cozy and welcoming. The beds were comfortable. The showers were hot and the kitchen was very user-friendly. Henrietta, the host was helpful & knowledgeable and an all-around wonderful person. Being a senior citizen traveling alone, she made me feel welcome and safe. I would book this again anytime I find myself in Scotland."

Dalhousie Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Fantastic traditional yet up-to-date spacious cottage very close to Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great cottage on beautiful grounds. Stayed with a group of 5. We all had plenty of space."

Harvieston Hall Estate Rooms

8/10 Good

"Унікальне історичне місце помешкання, чиста , тепла ,маленька кімната. Чистий постіль Але ціна завелика . Вікна не відкриваються ,"

The Sun Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were coming in late, so I called ahead. The front desk was very accommodating even though we arrived after they were closed. They left our keys for us clearly marked. The room was wonderful and the bed was spacious. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Our room had the old-style skeleton key so if you are not used to that it might be good to brush up on how to use it before you arrive. We've experienced that a few times in the UK so it was OK for us."

Cosy cottage located 25 minutes from Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"A lovely little cottage, spotlessly clean and the owners Victor & Corina were so friendly, welcoming and helpful with anything we needed.Edinburgh city centre is only a 30 min drive. However, I would strongly recommend getting the train from Eskbank to Edinburgh Waverley (city centre). Eskbank is only a 10 min drive and the train journey is only about 25 mins and at 12 return for 2 adults is brilliant and easy."
