to get started.

We stayed at the Heriot Suite for our 10th anniversary and it was magical! Nice views from the old windows, huge comfortable bed, right next to the Edinburgh Castle, mind blowing decor and atmosphere. For the first hour we were just like giggly children in a royal fairytale. I think it will be very hard to top this hotel experience! Breakfast was delivered outside our door in a hamper per our request to not be disturbed. Took advantage of the bathtub twice during our one night stay, no regrets :) After check out we were able to leave our luggage in the hotel for the rest of the afternoon without extra charge.

Linda, Finland

Everything excellent! The staff, the room was amazing - like living in the midieval!, & the breakfast was delicious! Eggs benedict, florentine & we had almost everything we've asked for. The position right some steps from the castle on the Royal Mile!

Ioannis, Greece

Everything was top notch. Room was amazing. Food in the secret garden was deliscious and the full Scottish breakfast was oustanding.

William, United Kingdom

The food was sensational. The location unbeatable. The little extra touches (cookies, champagne, luxury bath products, fresh milk for coffee) made the visit extra special. The staff especially the night porter were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The Witchery is a once in a lifetime must.

Mj, Australia

Location is spectacular. This is definitely an experience type property. The rooms and decor are utterly unique , unlike anything you’ll find anywhere but the are not comfortable.

Kim, USA

Absolutly Loved our room Very Decadent, As a tourist location was perfect rigjt on the Royal Mile, The resturant is amazing definatly a must for a meal, The first Bar when you leave going down the mile has live entertainment after 21:00 with amazing Soup and cheese platters

Kirstin, South Africa

Loved the room - it was perfect for our honeymoon. Stayed in the Turret Suite. Champagne and cookies in the room each day. Parking at the sister hotel was also much easier than we expected - we got great service from Jacob at Prestonfield, and then the witchery ordered us a taxi back when we left. Dinner was also amazing - we just had the £40 set menu - but it was absolutely delicious.

Claire, United Kingdom

Amazing rooms, amazing staff, amazing restaurant and breakfast. If there were rooms available on other nignts would love to stay longer but very very expensive.

One of our bestsellers in Edinburgh! The Witchery by the Castle offers a range of opulent suites in Edinburgh, each one unique with its own special features.

Lavishly furnished suites display gothic touches, with large oak beds and 4-posters, velvet-lined walls and flamboyant red and gold décor indicative of the style. There are separate seating areas and large bathrooms with free-standing silver baths.

Each of The Witchery’s 9 suites is different, but walk-in dressing rooms, love seats and tapestries set the tone. Some rooms overlook Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, looking down towards Princes Street, or across to the old town.

An indulgent breakfast hamper will be served in the room each morning or guests can choose to have a cooked breakfast served in the restaurant at no extra cost.

The Witchery’s seductive glamour has caught the attention of The Times, The Telegraph and Condé Nast Traveller, and many celebrity fans have enjoyed its suites. The impressive restaurant also showcases fine Scottish dishes in similarly decadent surroundings.

The only thing that got minus points was that every time someone walked at the stairwell it felt like they were right in our room or trying to get in. This was sort of expected though for the suites being in an old and creaky building. Sort of added a spooky touch to the stay.

There was no warning about the insanely steep stone stairs that were absolutely treacherous. I have a knee issue and had I been warned, I would never have booked this hotel. Also, we left after one night, even though we were booked in for two because something in the room made me very ill. The manager did not refund the second night, even though we left at 9a, well before check out. At nearly 500.00 USD a night forn2 rooms, this is unacceptable

Breakfast on the first day wasn't quite right - they forgot our bacon and the tattie scones werent cooked right - but they did say it was the chefs first day on breakfast.. Service at dinner was also a little poor.... but these are really minor gripes. We loved this place and would definitely come back.
