Accommodations- we booked 2 rooms. One was outstanding the other not so great. We were given an accessible room and if you needed an accessible room it would have been suitable but NoT for someone who does not need an accessible room. Not to be disrespectful but I was very uncomfortable in this room. Very disappointed and would hesitate recommending this hotel for that reason. Ceilings low, bathrooms very different and have to bend down to see in the mirror. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marlene 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice and quiet, great staff ##### Marlene Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A++ Stay Great stay!

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. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lon Philip 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Lon Philip Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rae Hui 23 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was great, property clean, big grounds for dog. ##### Rae Hui Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chukwuemeka 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic deco and neat. ##### Chukwuemeka Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela 25 Jul 2025 Curtains in the junior suite were ripped and rather tacky looking. There was a wasps nest outside the window cleaners left it open, several visitors got in, not the best start to my stay. The carpet looks filthy, beeds a shampoo. No offer of a tour of the castle. Advise a change to soft closing fire doors, this would prevent hearing every guest coming and going. Asian girl at breakfast tried to add paid for breakfast to my rooms saying she'd speak to management... please do its down on my printed itinerary. Beautiful building and surroundings interesting history. Customer service lacked somewhat and still waiting on a response to a simple question asked. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/467fb59a-329e-44a1-b90b-4cb491b2df6b-1753461905055.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9f6aee11-266c-42f6-b1fc-eed4aff9d7f3-1753461906300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/920481fe-f08a-4e3e-9c5c-44d00def0163-1753461903147.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fede7904-5457-42fc-8aa8-724a6218ed35-1753461903581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse 19 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great value, perfect location ##### Jesse Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JENNA 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### JENNA Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maitlandfield House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Maitlandfield-House-Hotel.h521393.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Marten, Dunbar by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pine-Marten-By-Marstons-Inns.h33726162.Hotel-Information) > > [Williamscraig Holiday Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Williamscraig-Holiday-Cottages.h27276440.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine North Berwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Marine-Spa-North-Berwick.h17968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Livingston Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mercure-Livingston-Hotel.h519403.Hotel-Information) > > [Bankton House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Bankton-House-Hotel.h6808877.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels.d178256.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Livingston Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Livingston-Lodge-Hotel.h7071890.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayswell Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Bayswell-Park-Hotel.h6058336.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Meadow Court - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Meadow-Court.h11059005.Hotel-Information) > > [Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Greywalls-Hotel-And-Chez-Roux.h3620007.Hotel-Information) > > [Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Youth-Hostel.h1853988.Hotel-Information) > > [The Folly Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Folly-Hotel.h30654361.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gables](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Gables.h23071835.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balerno Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balerno-Inn.h41970405.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown & Kitchen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Crown-Kitchen.h11025831.Hotel-Information) > > [No.12 Hotel & Bistro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-No12-Hotel-Bistro.h9774602.Hotel-Information) > > [The Juniperlea Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Juniperlea-Inn.h42663266.Hotel-Information) > > [Champany Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Champany-Inn.h11900697.Hotel-Information) > > [Norton House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Norton-House-Hotel-Spa.h15468.Hotel-Information) > > [The Linton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Linton-Hotel.h6412417.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dakota-Edinburgh.h1625694.Hotel-Information) > > [Orocco Pier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Orocco-Pier.h10411747.Hotel-Information) > > [Court Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Court-Residence.h13525405.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalhousie Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalhousie-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h552253.Hotel-Information) > > [Chain Runner, Livingston by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Chain-Runner.h33107140.Hotel-Information) > > [The Craigie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Craigie.h21441355.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Houstoun House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Macdonald-Houstoun-House.h18529.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge at Craigielaw](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Craigielaw.h7228882.Hotel-Information)
