"Absolutely superb hotel, stunning interior, fitting modern amenities in with the historic interior design. Excellent on site restaurant with the exceptional waiter. The food was excellent especially the venison casserole with broccoli and then the chocolate chilli for dessert 🍨. Not forgetting the superb breakfast."

"We had an amazing stay from start to finish. Ian gave us a tour if the castle along with a history. The rooms were cozy, the bed was very comfortable. The owners even gave us a ride to the tram when we were unable to find a taxi. Sue and Ian are a friendly helpful couple. "

My stay was a fairy-tale moment.
Our rooms were at the very top of this castle BnB. Beautiful building lovely grounds with a garden and walking trail. Clean ,comfortable and inviting. The manager showed us around upon arrival. Breakfast was great and the breakfast room was beautiful. Loved our too short stay.

Our family had the privilege of staying in one of the apartments (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms). The staff were ++ friendly, very helpful, and ever so gracious. They even provided a complimentary breakfast basket of food items (selection of dry cereals, selection of tea, coffee, milk, orange juice, apple juice, bread and cookies). We were very pleased with our stay.

Clean room and good location. I thought there should be better security around the room keys though (ie. anyone could walk in the front and ask for a key - no identity check).

This was a great hotel. Wish I had booked a studio but it worked out for us and we stayed an extra day. Great location, super close to Waverley station and most attractions.

Really enjoyed the gin and whiskey selection at the bar. Also enjoyed the tea and cookie selection in the room, which was topped up daily. We arrived for check in early and our room was ready so that was a wonderful stroke of luck after a long flight too. Would totally return if our travels take us through Edinburgh again!

This is our third time staying at the Scotsman. This time we selected a director room with city view, we stayed in room 702, it had wonderful views and a dining table surrounded by windows. We also chose to include breakfast, which I would also recommend considering. We have stayed in hotels in "new town" before also, but it wasn't the same. Different atmosphere and not as walkable. Staff are extremely helpful.
