Good Hotel Guide Review
Lush greenery along a sweeping tree-lined drive ‘soothes the soul’ as towers and crenellations of an 18th-century castle come into view. Inside, guests are beguiled by the sweet smell of wood smoke from an open hearth, and the ‘disciplined informality’ of welcoming, ‘guest-centred’ staff. Decorated with richly patterned wallpaper and fabrics, bedrooms are embellished with ornate beds, table lamps and mirrors. For afternoon tea, there are three tiers of sweet and savoury treats. Dinner is taken in the ‘graceful’ ballroom, or at candlelit tables in the vaulted cellars. South of the Edinburgh city bypass, in acres of park and woodland, the castle is a popular venue for weddings. Part of the Original Collection.
