Roddy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed here three times now and will certainly be back. It is ideal for travelling with our dog; the staff fuss him, he gets to be with us in the dog-friendly mini dining-room and got his own sausage at breakfast. We found the evening dining room in the basement a bit tricky with a spiral staircase so the staff set a table for us on the ground floor. Huge comfy bed and plenty space in the rooms.

We loved our visit to Melville Castle. It was everything we had hoped for... from the lush grounds, historic architecture, beautiful antique furnishings and modern conveniences. This hotel gets everything right. I would highly recommend to friends and would definitely visit again!

10/10 Exceptional

This is an exceptional property! Our rooms were incredibly beautiful with outstanding amenities. The front desk staff were welcoming and kind, and Jill took great care of us at breakfast, showing us around the bar and wine cellar and giving us some history. This stay was our little treat on vacation- and I highly recommend it!!!

Last minute booking. Friendly reception staff sorted out the paperwork quickly on my arrival. I was amazed at the stunning big bedroom which was in a nice quiet part of the hotel.
linda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property, spacious room, and excellent dining experience. We weren’t sure what to do about dinner since the castle is just outside of the city, but upon arrival, the staff asked us what time we would like to have booked for our dinner. The food was very good and we enjoyed our meal. We will have to stay here again when we visit next time. 5 stars.

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.
