Melville Castle

Melville Castle

10/10 Excellent
"We had a very enjoyable stay here. The drive up to the hotel is impressive. On our arrival the man at reception was very pleasant and informative. The girl the next morning was fine but her boredom was obvious. A simple smile would have made all the difference. We stayed in two rooms and both were excellent. They were extremely clean, a good size and had very comfortable beds. We slept really well. We did not eat in the hotel because we were so busy in Edinburgh. We were lucky to have a car because of the hotel is just outside Edinburgh, however this wouldn’t put us off if we were to come again."

"I arrived very late. The staff were so friendly, and upgraded me from a single to a double room, I think because the single had gone to someone else. The bed was super comfy, I've never slept in a hotel room with such a comfy mattress before. The room was a bit run down, but clean enough. The breakfast was very basic, but good enough, and again the staff were very kind and helpful offering cups of tea or coffee. Very impressed for a two star hotel at the price I paid"

"Outstanding service, food, amenities and grounds. We enjoyed our 5 days at Schloss Roxburghe immensely which made it truly difficult to tear ourselves away. The Golf course is spectacular and the views of the rolling hills, ancient bridge and cattle in the distance are so delightful. Nod to the lovely staff at both the clubhouse and estate. The dinner at Charlie's was superb and Sunlaws was exceptional. The service we received throughout our stay was so welcoming and first class. We could have spent the whole day at the wonderful spa so I can appreciate why there is a 4 hour limit. I would also add that the town of Kelso is close by and we enjoyed shopping and dining there as well. Looking forward to returning to Schloss Roxburghe!"
