1. Melville Castle

0.5 km from Butterfly and Insect World

"Staying in an actual castle was a dream come true for this soon to be 50 year old! The room was amazing and staff were phenomenal. The food was terrific - both the basement restaurant and the breakfast room. We only stayed one night due to our busy schedule but would've loved to stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Price was similar to a night in a 2-3 star hotel in London, which was shocking - would've much rather stayed here!!! This was a bucket list check off for me for sure!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"No better location in Edinburgh. Staff was beyond helpful We had dinner in the Italian restaurant attached … so good. Would return time and time again. Great choice"

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel the room was large and well appointed. Great location to access the city centre. A 30 minute walk or 10 minutes on multiple buses that you can catch at the bus stop opposite the hotel."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

8/10 Good

"A beautiful,atmospheric place to stay,giving a sense of what living in a historic Scottish country house would be like-not least how chilly it can be in the early autumn before the fires would be lit. Our stay was very enjoyable, helped by the efficient and pleasant staff. Our room was comfortable if a little out of the way up in the roof space but we would have liked more lamps, more hooks and shelves for toiletries and we did not need the large green light pointing the way out to the corridor and safety. Excellent breakfast(including haggis). Lovely grounds and building with a great library,music room,whisky bar to explore."
