The outside of the property is beautiful. The inside left much to be desired. It has so much potential but needs some serious renovating. Service needs to be improved dramatically. Especially in the dining area. It took 35 min just to have our order taken… after we went and found someone to ask if they could please take our order. Food ended up being good after we finally received it. Overall, probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Majestic manor in a beautiful countryside setting. Easy accessibility to Edinburgh and surrounding towns. Very comfortable bed and onsite amenities. Small washroom sink and temperamental shower dials made for challenges to reach optimal comfort while washing. Site has incredible ambiance while dining/breakfast offerings were always satisfying.

Castle stay
Carberry Manor House is a castle built in the 15th century. It is really beautiful. We enjoyed our self guided tour of the public rooms (library, music room, parlor, etc). It has been expertly updated for modern use while keeping original features like stone work, fire places and stained glass. There are lovely antiques scattered throughout the public rooms. And the gardens are stunning. We were there in summer. Our room was on the top floor, and it was really over warm. It was an executive room, but it was tiny and had sloping garrett ceiling that we kept bumping our heads on. The twin beds were not regular size twins - they were too narrow to even turn over. And the mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. So I doubt we’d stay there again, even though it was a fun experience staying in a castle. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of selections to make a full Scottish breakfast. And the dining staff was attentive and quick to bring whatever else we needed.

This beautiful property made us feel like royalty for our short stay. The staff are amazing, the rooms around the home that you have access to give lots of options to quietly read, or have a drink. Meeting the other guests was nice as well. Gardens are just beautiful. Bartenders made us some excellent cocktails, front desk staff went over and above. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options. Just a quick drive to the train station for easy 10 min train ride to Edinburgh as well

Disappointed
The hotel looks amazing and certainly has a history. Unfortunately our experience was disappointing. We stayed in a Classic room, this was at the back of the hotel (room 102), it looked tired and could definitely do with a coat of paint. As it was hot and we like fresh air in the room we opened a window, unfortunately there was a refrigeration unit that meant we couldn't sleep and had to close the window. The outlook didn't exist as it looked out on to the end of another building a out 3 meters away. The towel rail was right next the toilet which is questionable when men stand to urinate. Breakfast was disappointing as it was self-service and only the day before we stayed at a hotel where they cook it to order. All in all a very disappointing experience.

The staff here are unusually kind, helpful, competent and proactive - a rarity in Scotland these days. Service was amicable and professional. The maintenance guy Phil is particularly delightful. But that brings us to why I had to call him. My room on the top floor overlooking the grand driveway was nice and cozy, But the TV had a terrible signal and couldn’t be fixed so I couldn’t watch the Olympics. Also, I couldn’t sleep past 6am because the window shades are utterly useless. I had sunlight in my eyes very early morning. This means I am now tired during my work day. Not ideal and the hotel did nothing to compensate for that even though I told reception upon checkout. The hotel restaurant is solid - the lamb chops and cheese plate dessert were both first grade.

3 night stay.
Check in was easy. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. There is ample parking. The hotel is 15 minutes outside Edinburgh and is in a quiet secluded location. The hotel is a good base to explore the surrounding area. 10 minutes from Portobello Beach. 25 minutes from Arthur’s Seat. 30 minutes from the Royal mile and Edinburgh castle. There is plenty to see in Edinburgh, whether it be shopping or museums. The hotel has large grounds for exploring plenty of space inside for relaxing in the large library and sitting rooms. We have stayed several times and will stay again.

Large Country House set in its own huge grounds. Pricewise it was more than my normal budget, but virtually all the hotels in the vinicity were full. The hotel was full of characture. The staff were very attentive. Good buffet breakfast
