My husband and I got married here in Jan 2023 and we were so overjoyed with our experience. We booked everything from the other side of the world and were amazed by how easy it was. Communication was excellent. Then, upon arrival, everyone was so kind and helpful. Our room was lovely, as were those of our families. We loved that every room had its own character. Come the wedding day, the Melville team were incredible. They were so accommodating and we could not fault them. Our photographers were late and we hadn't heard anything from them, so the Melville team organised amongst themselves to locate our photographers, find a local photographer ASAP, and in the meantime, all the staff had their phones out ready to capture our big day. Thankfully, none of that was needed in the end, but they made it truly magical. And, to top it all off, they sent us a Christmas card almost a year later wishing us all the best. AMAZING. If you're planning a wedding, event, or just a little getaway, I cannot recommend Melville highly enough. We loved Melville and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Incredible Small Wedding Destination

Beautiful Castle In Stunning Grounds . 

Check in was very welcoming and smooth ( by the assistant manager who’s name escapes me) just the correct amount off information given for our visit without being overwhelmed. 
Room was as expected, true old castle style. Lovely and clean . Beautifully warm and cozy. Didn’t eat in the Castle as we were meeting friends close by. 
Had a night-cap in the incredibly well stocked bar which was exactly what we needed at the end of the day. 
Had a fabulous nights sleep and then enjoyed a hearty perfectly cooked breakfast. The young chap who looked after us was very attentive and had a great sense of humour which we appreciated. 
Check out was , like check in, extremely smooth preformed by Emma who again like the assistant manager was a pleasure to deal with . 
Would definitely recommend this stunningly beautiful Castle .

FELT LIKE A KING AND QUEEN FOR THE NIGHT

Had a lovley stay beautiful castle and stunning views, we were very lucky to be upgraded, very clean, staff friendly would love to visit again, maybe hire a car next time, we got the bus at the top of the drive number 3 bus only about 20 minutes away £1.80 each way they come very often Monday to Sunday. 

Excellent 

An exceptional stay at Melville Castle.Very friendly and helpful staff.. Check in and out simple and efficient.Well stocked bar open 24 hours. The food was first class, our evening meal was amazing as was breakfast with fresh produce and danish pastries .So much history in the castle.We had the allegedly haunted room 108 , the room was clean and the huge bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here 

First class stay.

It was so nice to have a quiet retreat at the end of our days touring Edinburgh. One of our group had requested that we 'stay in a castle' during our trip, and I'm so glad we chose this one. The rooms were decorated in lovely antique furniture, and it just made us feel so very special. The restaurant on site was also lovely, great food and great service.

Elegant base of operations for Edinburgh

We had an amazing extended Christmas break here and we didn’t want to leave! The staff absolutely made our holiday, so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable about the local area and always going the extra mile. 

The food was second to none, couldn’t have asked for better service either. 

Our junior suite was very comfortable, had everything we needed and felt so luxurious. The whole place has a cosy feel to it and you’re encouraged to spend time in the lounge relaxing too. 

The grounds are lovely to walk in and we noticed dogs are welcome too. Only a short trip into Edinburgh and other local attractions, a perfect base for sight seeing. 

We can’t wait to return!

Amazing Christmas Break

Beautiful cosy room in this fine hotel. The atmosphere and surroundings really transport you back in time. Although it isn't in the city centre there is a 30-minute bus just outside which is £1.80 for a single, so overall we definitely saved money on parking. Furniture was smart and comfortable, the menu at breakfast and dinner were great and the quality of the food was superb.

Smart and great value for money

Lovely afternoon tea, great service. Our waitress was so lovely. One of our party was dairy intolerant and allergic to egg. The chef made sure that afternoon tea was at the same standard as the rest of the party, and we really appreciated the effort they made

Lovely afternoon tea

My wife and I went for dinner and it was absolutely amazing. The food was completely delicious. We have lived in the area for 3 years and have only just discovered this hidden gem. The hotel itself is very tasteful and traditional with a lovely wood fireplace on arrival

Fantastic

High on my list, when planning our visit to Scotland in July, was to stay in a castle. I'm so glad we picked this one. I had a peaceful stroll in the woods on their 54-acre estate. The castle/hotel's interior is elegantly decorated. The setting is so lovely there was a different wedding on each day of our 3-night stay. 

Despite being busy with all those celebrations, our visit was magical. In particular because of one staff member. Emma Fielding seemed to be there 24-7.  Some mornings she was attentive at breakfast in the dining room. Then we'd find her tending the bar in the evening. When she wasn't busy, we had some lovely chats and she went out of her way to be helpful to us when we needed it.

 When traveling we pick out places to stay, but in the end, what creates the fondest memories are the people who make you long for a return visit.
