Melville Castle was such a highlight on our trip. The room was gorgeous, the bed was comfy, and shower was incredible. The entire castle was decorated for the holidays and it was so cozy and charming. We ate dinner in the restaurant and HIGHLY recommend. We will absolutely be back

Very nice hotel, but had no sleep what’s so ever with what I encountered in my room 106 to what I can say was the most scariest think I’ve ever encounted. I believe if something is supposed to have been or people have had this same issue should be told to customers. Not a very nice experience, some people will say I’m mad but what I seen, felt and encountered will stay with me for the rest of my life

Staff was AMAZING! We stayed in the Castle Suite which is a gorgeous and spacious room. It has a huge bathtub! It also has a door that leads to the garden. The ponies were a beautiful site from our room. The grounds are spectacular.

I don't think I'm the desired patron for this establishment. If you're a couple planning to do nothing but stay on property, it might be a great fit. But as a traveler who arrived by train, nothing was convenient about my stay. Lucas at the bar was wonderful. Rest of the staff were incredibly dismissive. Ended up checking out before sun up because I couldn't even get a cup of coffee. Kettle in my room had water, no clue from where or how long it had been there. But when I told staff they didn't even try to accommodate me. Just ignored me. Again probably great for some. Wasn't even passable for me.

No problem with getting a parking space, very friendly and helpful reception welcome, room was gorgeous, tastefully done and full of little personal touches. Nice and clean. A big and very comfortable bed. We have stayed at a number of UK hotels (10+) this year and this is one of the few we are planning to return to.

I stayed in this hotel 20 years ago. Perhaps I hoped it would be the same… The staff was excellent and the food was as well. However, the room seemed a bit tired despite a recent renovation. Vinyl flooring in the bath was not in keeping with the architecture of the building for instance… the main rooms of the hotel were still as beautiful as I remember, but the grounds have been neglected. It’s a beautiful property and worth the stay if you’re in the area but not quite as grand as my last stay.

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

Nice hotel, room was clean, didn't like the material over the four poster bed and there were a lot off spiders, but it is an old castle, I didn't use the restaurant but it had good facilities and tea and coffee in room.

We loved walking around the grounds and down by the river. The trees were amazing. The room service was excellent. It was nice to have breakfast and dinner on site. Convenient location to visit Rosslyn and Edinburgh.

6.0 / 10.0

Excellent food, great location and super staff. Accommodations- we booked 2 rooms. One was outstanding the other not so great. We were given an accessible room and if you needed an accessible room it would have been suitable but NoT for someone who does not need an accessible room. Not to be disrespectful but I was very uncomfortable in this room. Very disappointed and would hesitate recommending this hotel for that reason. Ceilings low, bathrooms very different and have to bend down to see in the mirror.

Curtains in the junior suite were ripped and rather tacky looking. There was a wasps nest outside the window cleaners left it open, several visitors got in, not the best start to my stay. The carpet looks filthy, beeds a shampoo. No offer of a tour of the castle. Advise a change to soft closing fire doors, this would prevent hearing every guest coming and going. Asian girl at breakfast tried to add paid for breakfast to my rooms saying she'd speak to management... please do its down on my printed itinerary. Beautiful building and surroundings interesting history. Customer service lacked somewhat and still waiting on a response to a simple question asked.

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!

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.

Excellent hotel , with lots of charm and character, outdoor seating was great in the gardens and bar is very comfortable and cosy. Restaurant was very nice and have yet to sample their afternoon tea. The staff were extremely professional and very helpful and i would highly recommend staying here

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.

We booked this location incredibly last minute as we needed a place to sleep, that was close to the airport, before an early morning flight. And it completely exceeded expectations. The moment we pulled up, I was ecstatic! IT’S A CASTLE! Honestly every little girls dream to sleep in a castle. Our room was adorable with a canopy bed and the decorations were so well done. I felt like I was in a dream. While we were only there to sleep, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone in the future because it’s such an incredible place.

Lovely estate. Staff were very courteous and professional. Geared towards weddings and short visits. Too bad stream at property not being utilized for trout fishing. Could be a sportsman paradise.
