10/10

We really enjoyed our two night stay at Melville Castle.The castle is beautiful and well located for trips into Edinburgh,set in lovely countryside.It is very dog friendly,with a dog friendly area in both the restaurant and breakfast room.We stayed in the two bedroom suite which was perfect for a family stay with lots of space and very comfortable beds as well as being beautifully decorated.An extra bathroom or separate toilet would have made it even better.We would recommend highly!

This hotel truly has a wow factor. Impressive from the moment you arrive. Michelle made the check in a delight. Perfect combination of professional and friendly. The room was incredible. It was a true castle experience. The house keeping staff added a level of excellence. Both dinner and breakfast were perfect. This is a property not to be missed.

Beautiful location and large rooms. Very comfortable beds. The shower in my daughters room frequently went from full on to a trickle, making it difficult to get a shower in. The shower exhaust fan in my room didnt work at all. My son had no complaints on his room. My daughter and her fiance loved the breakfast. The bar was welcoming and had friendly service. The restaurant, though a little overpriced for the serving size, served very delicious dinners. Summer may be brutal without A/C, but it was for us in early spring. Winter, I'm sure, would be great there.

Feels like stepping back in time staying here. It was lovely and quiet and the grounds are beautiful. Dinner was fantastic.. we had mussels and filet. Both were very good! The tub was huge which is my favorite. A nice retreat from the bustle of Edinburgh, relaxing and romantic. We want to come back.

Booked a 1 night stay here whilst working away. Nice big hotel as youd expect being a castle, plenty of parking & great views around the large grounds. Room was spacious & comfy. Only real downside for me was the food, i had haddock, chips & mushy peas. Haddock was small, the peas felt like they were tinned peas mashed with a fork. Portion size along with price & then to find out theyd also stuck a service charge on the bill make it hard to recomend eating here. Overall id recomend a stay here, however id probably take a drive out & eat elsewhere.

Perfect spot it you don't want to stay in the city. Ubers and taxis into Edinburgh are easy to arrange. Was upgraded to the Castle Suite and absolutely adored our stay. Highly recommend.

10/10

Our stay was beautiful! The castle is stunning, including the surrounding grounds. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique experience. My only 2 caveats: there’s weak cell signal within the hotel (but there is WiFi) and the location is a bit out of the way if you’re mainly sightseeing in the city centre. Uber will be rude about coming out here; one tried to guilt us into tipping more, claiming we had put the wrong address into our app. We preferred to use the taxi service the hotel is partnered with; Derek was incredible. The prices are nearly the same but the manners are much better.
