Great place to stay and would again. Old castle, so you have the historical vibes of the place. Had restraunt on site, only hade breakfast here and was good. Have onsite-bar and outside seating to enjoy the grounds. On outskirts of city, so very quiet, vast grounds to walk. Had a lift for luggage movement. Staff was great, location quiet. Had the two-bedroom suite and like it very much. (only issue were the carpets had some burn marks). But room was large and had a little room for coffee and tea. on-site open parking. Great place and recommend.

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.

Excellent experience, only wish we could have stayed longer! The staff was so welcoming, kind and helpful. The property was absolutely beautiful, and amenties were great (free cookies and hot chocolate in the room). The breakfast was delicious and filling. The hotel is also conveniently located close to Edinburgh, but felt tranquil and tucked away. Highly recommend!
