Wow! From the time you pull into the parking lot until you check out! Friendly and professional staff, spacious room and the castle is clean, clean, clean throughout! Thank you, Fiona and Michelle in reception, Josh and the hostess for the restaurant, (I didn't get her name), and Giuseppe (?) and Dami (?) at the bar, for giving our first trip to Scotland a wonderful start. We're grateful for Fiona willing to accommodate our daughters last minute plans to join us even though the hotel was fully booked. Our bed was comfortable with clean, warm linens. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water in the shower. Quiet! We barely heard other quests even though the hotel was fully booked. Plenty of parking. Hiking trails on the property to admire the countryside. A small recluse for 2 to 4 people along the wooded edge of the property to enjoy a quiet talk or enjoy a drink. The patio area at the rear of the castle has a fire pit and fountain that adds to the beauty and charm of this estate. We woke up to bagpipes playing at the entrance in the morning. Unsure if that is the castle's morning routine or if it was for the wedding that was taking place that afternoon. Either way, it was a great way to start the day. We didn't have a single flaw in our stay and hope to return some day. They are also dog friendly, so you can take your best friend with you! We highly recommend Melville Castle for an exceptional experience.
Very unique castle with excellent staff and dining options. The grounds are beautiful especially with Sammy the stallion and lovely the pony in the back. Definitely would stay again.
Woke up in the morning to there have been a leak from the ceiling in the bathroom. I fell in the water and really hurt my leg. Once getting to my feet I noticed a layer of mould in the corner of the bathroom where this leak must have been happening for some time. Was offered £40 off my bill which looking back now is pretty pathetic as my leg has hurt all day and began to bruise. Would not stay again. The restaurant is overpriced. I’ve enclosed a picture of the food, the burger was £26.50. It was dry and the bun was over cooked and crumbly. Would expect a lot more for a £60plus food bill for one person. Ordered the apple crumble to be told there wasn’t any custard and had to have cold double cream on it.
Very excited to stay in a castle for the very first time! The room was nice, but the bed wasn't very comfortable. Very clean, and dinner was nice. Didn't have that grand castle feel we were hoping for, but it was quiet, and a nice place to stay for the price.
This property far exceeded our expectations! The charm and elegance of what was a real castle, with beautiful furniture and presentation. It is a little off the beaten path, although not out of the way. Well maintained grounds that could pass for how things were when the castle was built. Excellent and highly recommended!
