The Witchery by the Castle

The food was delicious!! Although the cheese board was underwhelming quite bland cheese for a cheese board. The blue was delicious though. Scallops were succulent and sweet highly recommend. The green seaweed? That was with the Halibut had some serious slime on it that was no joke, it was stringy phlegmy consistency that had to spit it out. All that aside the food was amazing the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed. Bill for 2 people came to around £218

We stayed in the Heriot Suite to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Most amazing room, best service and great vegan food. We can highly recommend the Witchery.

Amazing rooms, very special :-) Location great. Great food and service. Edinburgh, we will come back for sure, thank you very much.

Staying in this hotel is like walking through a Time Machine. Thankfully, the staff is very attentive and will bring your bags up and down the stairs for you as the stairwell is a winding medieval staircase. This hotel is almost 500 years old and you can feel it from the moment you walk in. The attention to detail and the themed rooms that they have is on another level. We stayed at the rectory suite. It was witchy, charming, haunting, beautiful, and words really don’t do it justice. It’s in a prime location and I loved opening my windows to see all of the people walking under me in the cobblestone streets. The daily complementary champagne was an amazing touch as well as the old-fashioned bathtub. The bed is very small for two people to fit into but thankfully there are two beds in the room. We were very pleased with our stay and with the staff. I do have to add that this stay is not for the faint of heart. I was awoken in the middle of the night by the bathroom light turning on by itself and my husband heard people talking in his ear while he was sleeping.

We were able to spend 3 nights at The Witchery during our honeymoon trip across Scotland. Staying at The Witchery is an experience like no other! We were in The Armoury suite and it was magnificent, total luxury and the attention to detail in the room and from the staff was spot on, top notch. The bed was very comfortable, the best we slept in while in Scotland and the suite has plenty of little seating areas. It is a must stay while in Edinburgh and walking distance close to everything.

Best hotel experience we’ve ever had. From the chauffeur service picking us up from the airport to the chilled bottle of champagne awaiting us in the Vestry room, it was hands down a magical experience! 10/10 service and amenities, thanks to the staff for everything!!
