Amazing hotel.
I booked a single room for one night, the room was lovely with a four poster bed, amazing shower, very modern large smart TV and the fastest WiFi I’ve ever had in any hotel. I tested the speed and got 500 mbps ! When I stay in hotels I generally accept I won’t sleep as long as at home but this was the exception and I had a wonderful sleep in this bed.

Melville Castle provided us with an unforgettable stay! Surrounded by a large wooded area, it offers lovely trails for walks. Beautiful and the castle itself feels true to its theme. The food was delicious as well.

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful Castle in magnificent surroundings. Every room is filled with fascinating objects, the bedrooms are beautifully decorated. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious, as was breakfast, all the staff we encountered were exceptionally welcoming and nothing was any bother. There was a wedding happening during our stay and the hotel staff managed everything with calm, friendly ease. The only downside was the room had no windows that could open, and after a hot sunny day it was very warm. Reception did give us a fan, which really only circulated the warm air. An unusual occuance in Scotland! Highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

The building is wonderful as are the grounds very traditional. food is great and has a very nice 24hr Bar But what makes this place amazing is the staff very friendly and will bend over backwards to make sure you’re ok.

The grounds are absolutely stunning. Lots of walking/hiking paths into beautiful wooded areas. The grounds make the experience so peaceful. All of the staff were very kind and helpful. Our room faced the garden and it was lovely. The room description did not mention the flight of stairs in our room. That would have been helpful to know.
