We are 2 couples who chose this beautiful castle hotel, equidistant between our homes, for 1 night to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversaries. First impression was favourable, then we were led to our rooms. So disappointed with the basement location & tired decor. Dungeon dining experience wasnt what we expected having seen different options on the hotel website just 2 nights before arriving. Food was tasty, but scant. Breakfast was very disorganised. Cold plates for self service cooked food which had ran out & took a while to be replenished. No glasses for fruitjuice. Cafetiere of dreadful bitter decaf coffee & weak tea from a flask were served. Staff training/customer service requires addressing.

This property was unique in that it is a castle outside of the city. It was an adventure to stay in an actual castle that once belonged to the Ramsay’s - our ancestors. It could use a bit of upgrading, perhaps a lift or staff to assist with luggage, and perhaps a gift shop? All in all it was an amazing experience!

We enjoyed staying in an actual Scottish castle. The castle offered a nice base to explore Edinburgh (30 minute drive). You will not have the same conveniences of a modern hotel such as air conditioning but overall it has been great. The fine dining dungeon restaurant offers a unique atmosphere though the food was not to our taste. We much preferred the Orangery the more casual restaurant on site.

This is the real castle deal! We were thrilled be allocated room 4 in the large turret of the castle. A red four postered bed themed room with all the glory of days gone by. The bathroom was located down a narrow hallway near the door to the room and that made for some fun too! It felt really special! The ghost of Lady Catherine sadly didn't visit us and we slept like babies. Dinner in the dungeon was sensational and drinks before and after in the lounge rounded off the night. Brekkie was fab and the staff were super helpful from go to woah! Now that's a castle stay!
