The Original Castle in Edinburgh

Melville Castle combines Scottish grandeur with many original touches. Stay a while and take time to explore some of the castle’s curiosities. Each of the castle's 33 bedrooms and suites are unique – many have four-poster beds and all have been dramatically revamped. Every corner of the castle has been restored to give a gentle nod to its regal background, which Mary Queen of Scots used to visit. From our striking reception to our eclectic Library Bar, opulence is never too far from your fingertips. 

Melville is synonymous with escapism. Get lost in our enchanted grounds and search for Queen Mary's five oak trees, wake from deep slumbers and indulge in the finest cuisine in the quirkiest of spaces. You're about to embark on a traditional adventure you'll cherish for a lifetime. Where better to stay when visiting Edinburgh than in a castle?

Had a very nice afternoon tea with a friend and it was delicious - the sandwiches were so enjoyable lovely and fresh and so tasty, the scones were the best I have ever tasted as was the jam and clotted cream. I will definitely be returning soon - thank you Melville Castle for such a great Afternoon Tea.

This castle is so charming that you wouldn't want to leave the grounds to go elsewhere. Perfect for a quiet picturesque getaway. The decor is magnificent; they have maintained the charm of its historical image. The staff are friendly and accommodating; they would do whatever it takes to make their guests comfortable and happy.  Will definitely visit Melville Castle again.

We had an amazing time! Why stay anywhere else when you can stay in a castle? We loved our time here. The castle and grounds were absolutely gorgeous and so romantic.
