- Castle hotel surrounded by woodland estate
- 20 minutes from Edinburgh
- Atmospheric restaurant in the castle's vaulted cellar
- Restaurant & bar
Melville Castle, nestled within 50 acres of beautiful woodland estate, is only 20 minutes from Edinburgh city centre and airport.
A one time the hunting seat of Mary Queen of Scots, the Castle was commissioned by the first Viscount Melville and designed by the renowned Scottish architect William Playfair in 1791. It remained the seat of the powerful Dundas family until after the Second World War.
Now Melville Castle acts as a stunning hotel, with four poster beds, roaring fireplaces and a restaurant in the candlelit cellar.
