It’s a beautiful historic castle, what’s not to like?! The dungeon dining was fantastic. Breakfast was also delicious and in a beautiful setting. It’s outside the city so you need a taxi but totally worth it!

Everything! I just wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed in a junior suite with a tub in bump out windows overlooking the rooftops and street below. No issue with privacy. The bathroom with the shower was gorgeous. Great location. Glad I chose to be off the Royal Mile by maybe 1-2 blocks. Not far at all. Still felt like I was on the excitement of it all, but at the same time calmer, if that makes sense. If I go again, I’ll definitely stay here.

The fact that despite being nearly 3 days late (due to the airlines!), my room was held available for me when I finally arrived.

Good quiet location but not much in Bonnyrigg or the surrounding towns. Handy for Edinburgh and Lothian coastal resorts. For us must see was nearby Roslin Chapel. Only nuisance was traffic on bypass at the nearest junctions.
We booked for 1 night at the Castle and we were really looking forward to it, only to find out that the restaurant at the hotel was 'fully booked'. They said the orangery was not in function at evening and the dungeon was too small to feed everyone at the hotel!! Disgrace, if you cannot accommodate dinner for all guest you should not offer any hotel rooms. This place is middle of nowhere and you shouldn't have to book in advance to eat at the hotel restaurant. Spa dated dated and not very hot water in pool or sauna.
Good suite, comfortable room. Atmospheric historic building with creaky stairs and rambling corridors, old-style furnishings. High quality dining experience in a unique dungeon setting. Good range of breakfast choices in the light Orangerie with views across the pasture and woods. Very polite and helpful staff. Lovely location with long woodland walks. Easy to get to Edinburgh by park and ride or train.
The castle was beautiful, location near Edinburgh perfect for our car trip around Scotland. We had a beautiful, large bedroom in the tower which was beyond expectations! We had our dinner in the dungeon, a wonderful experience, the food was 5 star as was the service. Breakfast in the Orangerie topped off an absolutely perfect stay!
The grounds and the hotel itself are beautiful. The entire outside is picturesque. The staff was helpful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The rooms in the castle are beautiful, the dungeon restaurant is super cool and the food overall was very good. The free spa is nice, but can get crowded. Close enough to city center.
Fantastic Castle Hotel with load of history.
The staff were so friendly and efficient.
The rooms were great with a massive bed 😀and very comfortable.
We had dinner in the Dungeon which was so good and a great experience. The breakfast also was great with lots of choice.
We would definitely recommend and return.
The room was exquisite as were the grounds. The included spa trip was very nice though you have to pay extra for the massages etc (not too surprising). We loved the archery and falconry though you book separately with the company to attend (not through the hotel).
The surroundings and hotel were very nice, rooms were a fair size, warm, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Dinner nice and breakfast was also good.
