Lovely stay, beautiful hotel and excellent service from all staff! Lacked a lit mirror dressing area which in a room with only small velux windows made it quite difficult to get ready for our event. No vanity counter in the bathroom either so again difficult to actually get ready. (Rm 314)

This review is based on two recent stays at this hotel in November and December 2024. Both trips were similar with following good and bad points: Good: staff are excellent, friendly and keen to help. The grounds and building are spectacular, especially when decorated for Christmas. Bad: the restaurant food is very average, bordering on bad (depending on what you have). I ordered the beef cheeks for one meal, which was as tough as leather. Another meal i had the burger, which was like a lump of rubber. On the plus side, the breakfast is much better - maybe a different cook? On the whole, I would stay at this hotel again, but would avoid eating at the restaurant.

History and beauty

We visited Edinburgh for the first time. Came across this place during our research and booked without hesitation, as it was truly so historical. We didn’t mind it was 20-25’ cab drive from the city center and it was worth it. Dating back to 1480, it is still in such a good shape. This is literally the oldest place we’ve ever slept in. Room was comfortable and the common rooms of this place are amazing, including the room with the classic piano. We felt like we were transported back to the 15th century, but with comfort;) Breakfast was pretty good and the staff is very kind! Highly recommend for a unique experience!

Wonderful experience

Carberry Tower is a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds. The common rooms were amazing and we enjoyed playing a few rounds of cards in the library one evening. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Our dinner and breakfasts were good. We would definitely stay again.

what could be better than a two night stay in a 50,000 sq. ft century-old manor house. This place was fantastic. Libraries, music rooms, sitting rooms and a great bar for signature cocktails. The grounds were well maintained, the food was good and the people in charge were very helpful, particularly Lynn, who answered all of my questions. It was the perfect end to a perfect vacation in Scotland. My daughters fell in love with this place.
