We were celebrating a special wedding anniversary in this hotel where we had our wedding reception. We were delighted to receive an upgrade and felt very spoiled by all the staff. Our room with four poster was so lovely.
It was a little chilly in the dining room in the evening

Disappointing
Beautiful castle and grounds, lovely room with a comfortable bed and nice dark curtains for those who prefer a dark room for sleeping
Staff were very unfriendly and rather rude, this includes front of house staff and the bar staff. Didn't feel welcome at all.

The grounds of the castle are beautiful. The bridge over the babbling brook and the horses make for an enchanting stroll. Sitting outback with the water fountain trickling, feeling the sunshine on our faces, and listening to the birds chirping was very enjoyable. Unfortunately we did not get to experience breakfast in the morning, as we had to depart for the airport.
We had scheduled and participated in the Afternoon Tea. It was very nice with crisp, white tablecloths; however, I didn't like the paper napkins. I think cloth napkins would have been more appropriate.

The room was spacious, clean, and very nicely decorated. Staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful.
Not close to the bus line, you needed a taxi to go anywhere if you didn't have a car.

It was a great choice for breakfast lovely hot food made to order good choice though I would have liked bananas. Pancakes were not what I expected but still enjoyable. Delighted that it’s dog friendly great walks to go on and the fact there a separate room that allows dogs with you when eating top marks. Excellent location for nearby towns of Dalkeith & Musselburgh and quick access to get to Edinburgh. Highly recommend
Not a long enough stay!

The breakfast was wonderful. The communal spaces and grounds were beautiful
The location is awful. The rooms do not reflect the colorful luxe ones advertised. There was a blonde young woman at the front desk with big fake lashes that has a TERRIBLE attitude, rude and could not be bothered to be helpful and seemed annoyed.

There’s nothing that I could think of
