“Wow, what an experience. The first impression, as you enter the room, is staggering. Certainly, an experience somewhere between (what I imagine) straying in a 17th century gentrified townhouse and a Sherlock Holmes movie set. It was a great experience and one I don't regret, nor am I likely to forget. We enjoyed the restaurant (breakfast and dinner). Our servers we attentive and very professional and the overall dining experience was not nearly as pretentious as I had imagined. The food was of a good standard, and while not spectacular, the ambience and the service more than made up for it. The in-room breakfast option was really good and I would strongly recommend this option. The location of the property cannot be beaten - just bear in mind you are on the Royal Mile, so the hum-drum of the passing tourists adds to the realism of an "early modern cityscape".”

“Exceptional all around. Room was extraordinary, breakfasts way beyond expectation, and dinner at The Witchery restaurant rates in my top 10 (of 67 years).”
