Disappointing Overall Experience
The castle is a stunning building from the outside. Once inside, however, you are in a very tired environment. The hotel is in desperate need of some investment/renovation. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. Some of the service was first class while the majority was sub-par. No value for money.

Disappointed
We were really disappointed considering the price. There was not even hand lotion in the bathroom. If you had a bath, you have to stand up to reach the soap, shampoo dispenser. We had dinner in the dungeon which is expensive. The waiter that initially served us just about dumped everything on the table. The waitress that brought our food was sniffing continuously in your ear whilst dressing the food. We ordered 3 of the same meal. One had so much sauce the food looked like it was in soup. My husbands had quite a lot of sauce and mine had hardly any. We had to ask them to bring some sauce for my husband and I.

8/10 Very Good

This property was unique in that it is a castle outside of the city. It was an adventure to stay in an actual castle that once belonged to the Ramsay’s - our ancestors. It could use a bit of upgrading, perhaps a lift or staff to assist with luggage, and perhaps a gift shop? All in all it was an amazing experience!

We enjoyed staying in an actual Scottish castle. The castle offered a nice base to explore Edinburgh (30 minute drive). You will not have the same conveniences of a modern hotel such as air conditioning but overall it has been great. The fine dining dungeon restaurant offers a unique atmosphere though the food was not to our taste. We much preferred the Orangery the more casual restaurant on site.
