The accommodation impresses with a well-equipped library bar, spacious and clean rooms, and friendly staff. Guests enjoy a quiet environment and excellent breakfast, but some mention the lack of amenities.

The staff was so kind and helpful during our stay. It was a place and time we’ll remember for a long time. Definitely would love to return there someday,

Beautiful hotel, we loved our stay! Room was beautiful and very comfortable bed. Didn’t get a chance to explore the grounds as it snowed, but was lovely and cosy inside. Felt like a country squire!

Lovely hotel, quiet location with great gardens to walk around and take in. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the food and had a drink in the bar which was also quiet and relaxed.
Room was very nice and had all the amenities required and bed provided us with two great nights sleep. Would highly recommend and we will be looking to come again

We arrive late night, the receptionist did our check in then help us to order food from town cause kitchen was already closed. We had some drinks at the bar and the barman was friendly, we had a really good chat about the history of the hotel.
Rooms are very comfortable, cozy and with a really.nice decoration. Our breakfast was so good, all the buffet fresh and the staff really helpful.
Definitely we will come back.

Have visited Melville and had fantastic experiences ,and have recommended the castle to family and friends who also enjoyed. Visited on the 13th January met by a not very happy front of house. My 89 year old mother also stayed …my mum had something to eat , dinner came we asked for condiments waiter returned minus cutlery 10 minutes passed cutlery at last. We sat in the bar for a drink were met with sorry no brandy or Guinness not the bartender’s fault. Quests at one point were waiting at the bar whilst the bartender collected glasses elsewhere again not his fault. Morning came mums full Scottish was excellent I had smoked haddock that was inedible poached egg was fine , no side plates for toast . Check out was the worst once again an unhappy front of house . I queried the bill which was£130 more than we had purchased she asked if I was sure and could it be ordered from my mums room. She said she needed to talk with manager. Who asked her to check out all invoices after approximately 15 mins I had had enough, my partner went to deal with this issue again left waiting we decided to leave his bank card and left . On the way home we received a call the the same woman to give us the good news that we only had to pay for what we had like she did us a favour!! Most of the staff were lovely just need proper training. Would not recommend or return.

Our stay here was magical and peaceful out of the city. Definitely would recommend to experience living in a castle. The room was spacious, super comfortable and beautiful view of the gardens. I enjoyed the breakfast alot and walks around the beautiful landscape trails.
