Absolutely superb hotel, stunning interior, fitting modern amenities in with the historic interior design. Excellent on site restaurant with the exceptional waiter. The food was excellent especially the venison casserole with broccoli and then the chocolate chilli for dessert 🍨. Not forgetting the superb breakfast.

Beautiful property. Food was excellent. Enjoyed a nice hike on the property to see the spot where Mary Queen of Scots surrendered herself to the English lords. The decor is beautiful inside. We only stayed one night but enjoyed the experience. Wait staff was inexperienced during our visit but that was a minor issue.

Very nice hotel in a country house in the country outside of Edinburgh south of the airport. The rooms were nice but you had to watch TV through the internet only. Also, the grounds are pretty and nice to walk through. It was quite expensive though

Really good country house experience, without too many modern 'interior design' fashion impositions that mar many others. Restaurant good, afternoon tea good. Garden could do with a better maintenance/planting regime, window repainting, but i have to rein in here as i'm a conservation architect and thus Mr. Fussy. Overall a very delightful re-couperative stay and would go again and happily recommend.

This is a lovely, old barony house. It is not a pristine chain hotel. Give yourself plenty of time to roam the house and grounds. This place is breathtaking! Staff was mostly helpful, though we requested a whisky tasting, were told they'd inquire and let us know, but never did (we assumed that meant no). Dinner service was very slow the evening we were there, with very few other people. Bar drinks had to be requested more than once before they arrived. Wait staff was not very attentive. Food and drink for dinner and the included breakfast were delicious. The sea bass was out of this world and the sticky toffee pudding was perfection! This was a luxury stay with a lovely, comfortable bed and nicely appointed, basic room. A lovely last night in Scotland before we had to return home.

It's a hard hotel to be rated as the room we booked was misleading in Expedia, it was far worse, smaller, dated than in the pictures and description. There were only two rooms at that corner, far away from other rooms, looks like a one star hotel room. The other rooms were nice though, together with very nice library, lobby, activity rooms, which made our room even more pathatic. We would have paid more for a better room if not being misled by Expedia description, as the hotel itself was quite good.

Absolutely loved our stay. Convenient to Edinburgh (by car), great staff but what made our stay special was the property itself - absolutely beautiful... it's like being transported back in time. The setting is beautiful - so peaceful and the gorunds are beautiful.

We loved our time at Carberry Tower! The estate was stunning and the staff were very helpful. We walked in the gardens and the woods behind the estate - breathtaking! Our dinner and breakfast were delicious. I only wish we had arrived soon enough for the high tea which looked perfect. This will be a favourite memory from our European vacation! Thank you from a perfect stay!

4/10 Poor

Tiny room with limited headroom, poor fitting blinds and emergency exit light meant a poor night's sleep in a not very comfortable bed. Beautiful grounds and a nice building but that's not enough for £200 a night. Avoid 3rd floor bedrooms unless you are a mouse. Food and bar were adequate but sure you could do better for the money. Location is quiet.
