This review is based on two recent stays at this hotel in November and December 2024. Both trips were similar with following good and bad points: Good: staff are excellent, friendly and keen to help. The grounds and building are spectacular, especially when decorated for Christmas. Bad: the restaurant food is very average, bordering on bad (depending on what you have). I ordered the beef cheeks for one meal, which was as tough as leather. Another meal i had the burger, which was like a lump of rubber. On the plus side, the breakfast is much better - maybe a different cook? On the whole, I would stay at this hotel again, but would avoid eating at the restaurant.

History and beauty
We visited Edinburgh for the first time. Came across this place during our research and booked without hesitation, as it was truly so historical. We didn’t mind it was 20-25’ cab drive from the city center and it was worth it. Dating back to 1480, it is still in such a good shape. This is literally the oldest place we’ve ever slept in. Room was comfortable and the common rooms of this place are amazing, including the room with the classic piano. We felt like we were transported back to the 15th century, but with comfort;) Breakfast was pretty good and the staff is very kind! Highly recommend for a unique experience!

Carberry Tower is a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds. The common rooms were amazing and we enjoyed playing a few rounds of cards in the library one evening. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Our dinner and breakfasts were good. We would definitely stay again.

what could be better than a two night stay in a 50,000 sq. ft century-old manor house. This place was fantastic. Libraries, music rooms, sitting rooms and a great bar for signature cocktails. The grounds were well maintained, the food was good and the people in charge were very helpful, particularly Lynn, who answered all of my questions. It was the perfect end to a perfect vacation in Scotland. My daughters fell in love with this place.

Wonderful setting great staff
Just one night but felt like a week, fabulous atmosphere. From arrival with Lynne, our excellent meal ( haddock chowder was first rate by the way) served by John and Dean on the bar who really knows his whisky, the staff are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was nice and a walk round the grounds (we spoke to the groundsman/ maintenance guy who was also helpful) before heading off to Edinburgh, the park and ride suggested by another member of staff. All in all a fabulous stay in this amazing building. Well done all.

We were so excited to visit Carberry. Then we ended up in hospital for a medical emergency. After leaving hospital we looked forward to a restful stay at the Carberry, afternnon tea, exploring the library and relaxing in the music room. We hadn't eaten all day but the bar kitchen had closed early. The staff were so helpful trying to grt us takeout but the wait was long so we went to bed. When we checkef in, I asked to reserve tea for the next day and was told no, there was an all day princess event for 120 little girls qnd boys plus families.l This was the first time we had heard of this event. The next say the music room, library common areas were closed to guests during this event. The bar (no Wifi) and restaurants were open at set hours. My husband ended up staying in our room. I watched the woman at reception take bar orders, I sat in a small area near the garden trying to make arrqngements to return home due to his illness. I did communicate our concerns and was told it they often have events and we could have gone to the bar or outside to the grounds (it was too cold to sit outside.) I hope by sharing this feedback that Carberry will let guests know in advance if there are events that will restrict amemities and services and offer discounted rates during these times. Thank you.
