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?
