Our stay at Melville Castle was everything I’d hoped for and more. We felt in awe and humbled by its grandeur and history. Strolling around the beautiful grounds added to the experience. This was a stay we will never forget.

What a beautiful place to stay, my Partner and I were visiting Edinburgh for the Military Tattoo and to take in some of the Fringe. Our room was beautiful and the staff very helpful. A little bit of paradise
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very enjoyable stay here. The drive up to the hotel is impressive. On our arrival the man at reception was very pleasant and informative. The girl the next morning was fine but her boredom was obvious. A simple smile would have made all the difference. We stayed in two rooms and both were excellent. They were extremely clean, a good size and had very comfortable beds. We slept really well. We did not eat in the hotel because we were so busy in Edinburgh. We were lucky to have a car because of the hotel is just outside Edinburgh, however this wouldn’t put us off if we were to come again.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Some of the staff were wonderful, such as the gentleman at the reception some were rude, such as the male waitress breakfast. The character and charm of the hotel was from days before. It is tired, in need of refurbishing and some tender, loving care. The restaurant was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed dinner.

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.

An unforgettable stay-truly five stars in every sense. Melville Castle is beyond beautiful; it’s an experience that’s hard to put into words. From the stunning surroundings to the atmosphere inside the castle, everything felt magical and steeped in history. Every moment, both in and around the castle, felt special. It’s not just a place to stay-it’s something you feel. Absolutely exceptional.
