"A Magical Stay Fit for Royalty!
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this stunning castle, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the charm, elegance, and attention to detail in every corner of the property. It felt like a step back in time- with all the modern comforts perfectly blended in.
The breakfast was nothing short of extraordinary with local treats like cheeses and meat, butteries and fresh yogurt. Every morning felt...
"Hillary was very kind and accommodating to our early arrival. Our room was in the basement and it was very quiet. The continental breakfast was very good. It’s a beautiful home and quite nice."
"Great stay in Edinburgh! The host was super friendly, the room had everything we needed, and the connection to the city was good. Would definitely stay here again."
"Bus stop in front of the house. Car park spacious. Nice, large and clean rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The breakfast was nit really worth the money
But overall a good place to stay in Edinburgh "

Melville Castle
10/10 Excellent
"Its a castle from the 13th century on extensive property. The rooms are quaintly historical feeling. Four poster beds, antingue-ish furniture. In general, a great medieval feel while still having modern amenities"
"Our stay here was absolutely lovely! From check-in, throughout our stay, we felt warmly welcomed.
This was our much awaited, and very much delayed honeymoon and they made it feel special.
Thank you to everyone at the Carberry Tower Mansion - it truly is a special place with amazing staff!
Room was clean, supplied with everything you would need in a hotel room. Our dinner was delicious - the sorbet for dessert (pudding) was the best I’ve ever had and I wish I would’ve asked if it was a specific brand or if they make it.
If given the chance to visit Scotland in the future, I will be staying here again."
"Easy and smooth check in. Stayed in 10 bed female dorm. Felt safe, personal space felt private as well. Has great facilities, separate female bathroom and shower, dining and bar area too. Opportunity to meet and mingle with other travellers with group activities, if you wish. Soo close to the Royal Mile, shopping, bars and restaraunts. Staff were very lovely, accomodating and helpful. Would definitely come back and also recommend to others."
"Had a great stay here for a few nights! The hotel was beautiful and in great condition. The location was great for exploring and dining out. Our room was located on a lower floor and it was very peaceful and quiet. Check in was a breeze. Will definitely stay here again when we are back. "
"If I'm honest I didn't expect much due to the price
It was almost three times cheaper than other options further out of Edinburgh
The room was small but clean and bed comfortable
Cosy with tea and coffee facilities
Hair dryer provided and shower small again but clean and modern
Bonus is the bar downstairs offering a range of drinks including Tennants and Beaver town neck oil. Best take your own travel iron but nothing else really needed
Are immediately round the area isn't great but has an Aldi and Lidl within 5 mins walk.
2 miles away from Portobello beach with hip cafes and takeaways so either take a walk along there and enjoy the sunset or even take a dip.
Great location for a trip to Edinburgh
Just 23 min drive passing Holyrood area. Beautiful!
Well worth the stay
No breakfasts at the hotel. We recommend 5 mins round the block go to Company bakery on eskmills estate. Very swanky and lovely coffee."
Explore the lovely green spaces of Dalkeith Country Park and enjoy the golf courses in Dalkeith. Discover the lively festivals in this walkable area or seek out the local tours.
