This property is a lovely restored manor house in a bucolic setting on the edge of Edinburgh. All were as expected and the level of service was very good. The food was very good, and service attentive and accurate. The front desk was accessible, accommodating and very helpful. The Bar was great fun.

We booked a one night stay to have the "Scotland Castle Experience", and our experience was...ok. Beautiful property and stunning grounds. Our room was large, but a little disappointing for the price. There were also dead wasps all over our room. (not to mention a bug in my water glass in the restaurant later that night at dinner) Our dinner was pretty good, but instead of the beautiful, stately experience we were hoping for, the restaurant was in the basement and we were seated right next to the grill. It did not feel at all fancy...like, at, all. The food was very good (my husband highly recommends the haggis), so that helped. Was it worth the $898 CA(including dinner) that we paid? Sadly, no.

It was really hamming up its Scottishness. Fake suits of armour, shields on the wall, animal skulls everywhere. Just wasn’t classy. The food was ok. They had tried with the vegan option - gnocchi with fried mushrooms - but could have done with some veg and a sauce. They’d run out of Pinot Grigio Blush. However the only real complaint was the price over £300 for a night, and it really wasn’t worth that. The bathroom was much lower quality than I’d expect for that price. Chipped laminate bath panel, faded chrome, holes in the tiles that had been filled in.

Beautiful location. Nice room - the shower head was a bit floppy though and bath plug I had to wedge some soap underneath to drain the bath. Great staff. Good breakfast (seemed a little small but I could probably have asked for two of everything with my Scottish breakfast.) Good parking.

My adult daughter and I flew in from Los Angeles and were so happy the bar was still open when we arrived at 9pm. The castle is charming, beautiful and homey feeling. Not stodgy or hoity toity. The beds are SO comfortable! We slept like a rock! Took the bus into Edinburgh the next day. Pick up us right outside the long driveway. You can leave your car at the end of the driveway. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely quiet property! So many trails and quiet spots on the exterior grounds plus so many fun art pieces to view on the interior. Rooms were fantastic. Comfortable bedding with lots of room to enjoy life after one returns to the room for the evening. On site restaurant has so many tasty items to choose from on the menu. Free breakfast with the stay was a wonderful addition to start the morning as one can view the area outside large windows.
