Elizabeth , United StatesIt was so beautiful and lovely here!! We will be back! Planning to get married here :)
Janine, United StatesHad a lovely time at Melville Castle. Everyone was very kind and helpful. We stayed for the Christmas event, which included meals. They staffed made sure we came down for meals so that we didn't miss anything. We also elopemented during our stay and the staff was very helpful and kind.
Trusted GuestI love Melville Castle and will definitely come back. The staff were friendly, laid back and accommodating. The grounds and hotel are gorgeous. There are only 2 things which I would change to improve it: the huge white wedding tent really detracts & blocks view of castle. Also, the patio furniture in back is dilapidated and needs replacement.
Clare, United StatesLet me say first, the pictures and videos do not really convey the loveliness of this property, the plush comfort and the overall tranquility as you step inside. I just didn't want to leave! The food was amazing, with several dining options, including room service...ah and have the desserts! ?? The rest I will leave for your nice surprises...you will love it! The staff was super efficient, friendly and accomodating. It's so close to Edinburgh, yet feels many miles from it all Thank you all of Melville Castle for a very memorable visit ??
