Perfectly Splendid!
Our stay here was absolutely lovely! From check-in, throughout our stay, we felt warmly welcomed.
This was our much awaited, and very much delayed honeymoon and they made it feel special.
Thank you to everyone at the Carberry Tower Mansion - it truly is a special place with amazing staff!
Room was clean, supplied with everything you would need in a hotel room. Our dinner was delicious - the sorbet for dessert (pudding) was the best I’ve ever had and I wish I would’ve asked if it was a specific brand or if they make it.
If given the chance to visit Scotland in the future, I will be staying here again.

Beautiful accommodations & most friendly staff
This was our first time visiting Scotland. What a great stay to start our 2 weeks. The staff were the friendliest, most helpful we’ve come across in our travels. Dinner booked at the on site restaurant was amazing! The cocktails were scrumptious! We were kindly upgraded to a lovely suite overlooking the serene, picturesque grounds. Breakfast was so delicious and staff were so accommodating. They were so sweet to ask how our days out were, when we returned nightly. We would highly recommend you walk the grounds and trails around the property, the wind rustling in the trees with their huge canopies made me think I entered Narnia. We would certainly recommend and stay here again.

It was like staying in a castle. Lots of historic charm. It was great exploring all of the various rooms. Unfortunately the interior could use some refreshing.

Carberry is an excellent choice for a stay near Edinburgh. I wanted the castle experience and this home has so much history, it exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was delicious with wonderful options, and the staff were both friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, everything we needed and larger than I expected for a standard room. Definitely staying again!

Upon entering the gates to this beautiful estate, I was greeted with a lobby perfect for an estate. The decorations were stunning and the receptionist was so kind and answered all my questions. She even offered to make us a reservation at the estates restaurant (which was amazing by the way). The room its self was so clean and pleasant. Adventuring around the estate inside and outside was like stepping into a fairy tale. I enjoyed every second of my stay.

We loved the historic nature of the building dating back to 1480. Restaurant food was excellent. The grounds are lovely. The interior spaces need refreshing and is showing wear and tear.

Vie de chateau avec ou sans fantôme...
Très bel hôtel (fidèle à la photo), dans la campagne et entouré d'un magnifique parc tout en étant proche d'Edimbourg en voiture. Par contre les deux chambres que nous avons eues étaient petites avec un aménagement succinct qui n'avait rien à voir avec les photos.

Beautiful venue, price-quality mismatch
Great historical venue, beautiful parkland. Good breakfast. Kind staff.
Bedroom: bed too soft, scandalous ‘roll-down’ IKEA curtains that do not block the morning light. Bathroom rudimentary shower (max height 1.70m) with trickling water.
