Lasswade Melville Castle Hotel reviews

“Great, clean accommodation pair with superb service!”

“Me and my partner decided we would have a getaway for a few days from Yorkshire to Edinburgh. We booked the castle standard room, and was upgraded as soon as we arrived, to the next room up.
The room was very setting of the era the castle would have been around.
The room came with an amazing variation of tea, coffee and even hot chocolate. The bathroom included vanity shampoo, conditioner and body wash, with a shower cap, soap and a vanity kit including cotton buds and tips.
The bar area was really calm, quiet and very inviting. The drinks were lovely, and there was an excellent array of spirits and drinks.
The bar staff, the receptionists and the night porter were all very pleasant. Very approachable and easy to talk to. Unfortunately we didn’t eat, so we can’t comment on the food, but we did see a few plates and they looked incredible. I would recommend to couples and families alike. It’s a lovely place with a massive amount of Greenland. A lovely place to explore!
We ended up booking another night and staying again the day after, and we still weren’t ready to go home.
Great location if you drive, but maybe a little more out the way if you are using public transport. The driveway is about a mile long. There is a Tesco extra very local (5min drive), as well as a McDonald’s, Starbucks etc.
Overall, we had a very lovely stay, and we are talking about coming up again already!
Thankyou to all the reception and bar staff we met, it was perfect. 🙂 “

“Amazingly beautiful place to stay. Clean room, comfortable beds, classy historical deco, absolutely photogenic place. Fantastic scenery, topped with a horse ranch neighbour = free horse-watching/petting. Makes you feels totally like a princess staying in this castle.”

“Nice and historic building, nice decoration, nice garden and surroundings.
We complained about the odor in the rooms but they said it’s normal, the building is old .
There was no central heating although the rooms were cold
Not too far from the city, must take a taxi (20 mn to the center.)
No food at all after 10:30 pm even a biscuit or crackers . Because our plane was delayed we checked in late and had to go to bed starving
For the money I paid I would expect a little more”

“What a beautiful location! We had a 2 bedroom suite and another regular room. The staff was amazing. We came back early one rainy night and told them we were going to have tea in our room. They brought up tea and games and cookies. It was the service was just amazing.”
