We loved the historic nature of the building dating back to 1480. Restaurant food was excellent. The grounds are lovely. The interior spaces need refreshing and is showing wear and tear.

Carberry is an excellent choice for a stay near Edinburgh. I wanted the castle experience and this home has so much history, it exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was delicious with wonderful options, and the staff were both friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, everything we needed and larger than I expected for a standard room. Definitely staying again!

Good value. Wifi and breakfast included.

Very comfortable stay and good breakfast. Only marred by being woken by the bin men at 6am and the staff arriving and having a very loud conversation for almost 30 minutes near the bedroom window at 6.45am. The room would benefit from a deep clean but it was good that it was a generous size.

First overnight stay at Carberry. We were kindly upgraded to a suite which was most impressive. Dinner in the Bistro was lovely. We asked for breaded fish rather than done in batter. No problem & it was extremely tasty. Relaxed atmosphere , friendly staff. A hidden gem.

Just a great and relaxing experience. Looks of places to relax and read peacefully. Good food and ambience everywhere. The only thing that I didn’t like was the green LED on the exit light above my door was bright and disturbed my rest as i like a dark room to sleep in.. when everything else is so good, something like this tends to stand out unfortunately.

Lovely stay, beautiful hotel and excellent service from all staff! Lacked a lit mirror dressing area which in a room with only small velux windows made it quite difficult to get ready for our event. No vanity counter in the bathroom either so again difficult to actually get ready. (Rm 314)
